Nice Job !!! Abraxas2040 on the ghost rider cover. This will definitely be my new cover.

On another note. Can anybody help me find a cover for Saw I and Saw 2. I checked the forum and could not find any. Has anybody created one for these first two ?? Or can you re-direct me to where they are ??

THANKS

Not to mention they've photo"chopped" a truck chasing Josh Brolin at the bottom (Looks like his truck from the movie...?). Completely ruins the poster art, in my opinion.

Could someone make a Blu-Ray cover for Borat? I have the DVD, but I keep all my movies in chronological order and have all my late 2005 to present Fox movies on Blu-Ray, except Borat which Fox only put out on DVD.

I would really like a Blu-Ray-sized cover art that I can put in a blank box so it would at least match with the other movies on the shelf.

I like the original cover of Cars but my nephew got to the box and tore the cover of that movie and Eight below that is why I am in need of those 2 covers. If anyone can help me with a custom Cover or a Scan that would be awsome.

The "Disney Movie Rewards Participating Title" logo is what really pisses me off about that cover. Did they really have to permanently embed that in the artwork? Wouldn't a sticker on the slipcover have been a better idea?

I will be getting The Pacifier from Japan and I searched for a custom cover for it, but no results came up. I noticed that the back of the box and the binding of the Blu-ray is in Japanese. I was wondering if someone can make a custom cover for it to make it in English. That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm a huge fan of the HDDVD coverart (over half my discs have customs on them and I've made a few myself), but I find myself with a bit of a dilemma here for my BDs. I LOVE the internal pictures. Very few HDDVDs have that, but every single one of my BDs does. Has anyone found a good solution to keep these? I feel like if I just left both covers in I would invariably be able to see edges of the underneath one, but I also don't want to permanently glue them together or anything. Any effective solutions out there? I'd really love to replace some of them (especially those that have removed bar codes, grrrrr) because there's some great work here AND I'm a huge hater of the swooshes (both BD and HD).

Deathstalker: Did I miss the remainder of the Pirates covers or did you only make the one? That one is spectacular, and a matching set would be amazing.

AmishFury
02-07-08, 11:03 PM
one thing you could attempt is scanning the back of the originals and printing the scans on the flipside of the custom covers... may take some trial and error but one could possibly pull it off

Averhoeven
02-07-08, 11:21 PM
Yeah, I'd thought of that, but I have yet to see any double sided photo paper. Most have some sort of logo and a different paper type on the back. I'm sure it exists, but I'm sure that, since it's an unusual product, it's probably pricier too.

Just trim the original art so that it sits behind your custom. That's what I do.

I'm definitely interested. I'll PM you my e-mail address.

I need help on this cover I started for 30 days, which front cover seems to "fit" better? I still need the entire back cover but I'm waiting for my copy tomorrow to get the specs.
Thanks for any input


I like the first one better Joe. I think the colors and the darker image go better with this movie.

There are some nice designs here but, I cannot help noticing that the black levels are way off on some. This will be detrimental to the art work when printing them out.
I also see some of Sandmans templates being used here ...............Dagon has the latest versions for all studios.

Figure it is probably a more fitting name going forward. Ill be adding those names to the banner at the top as well.

@ DeathStalker_2

I am impressed by Evangelo's site and I also got to say I am impressed with the stuff you guys are turning out. I knew way back who was going to come out on top of the format war (based on packaging manufacturing figures) so, it was a no-brainer for me to go Blu-Ray art.
Personally, though I hold Resident Artist status on a single forum based site so as much as I would like too I am unable to upload my stuff anywhere but, there.
My advice to Evangelo would be to make his site a closed forum so that the "little monkeys" out there do not steal your stuff and claim it as their own to upload to other cover sites. There is a strict code within the community about this issue.
But, if any of you boys want access to an alternative site I am more than happy to oblige you.
Evangelo would find it particularly rewarding to pull in some ideas for his own venture.;)

So why show your stuff here if you're not gonna make it available? Are you just fishing? Is this alternative site a pay site?

I'm aware of this "code" you speak of as well does all the artist who have contributed to Evans site. Having a "closed" forum is not gonna stop anyone from doing what you speak of, if that is their intent.

kylumi
02-27-08, 05:19 PM
nope its not a pay site...........
and the reason i put the covers up is known to Evangelo.......it was a small problem which we sorted.

As for packaging ............. AGI is based in UK/Europe and I have an association with them. They were so inundated by order requests from Sony regarding Blu-Ray packaging that they were unable to get close to fulfilling their normal terms of agreements unless they installed additional capacity.
The market at that time showed that 85% of all HD media packaging was in Blu-Rays favor. So, I guess you can work the rest out yourself.;)

And no there is nothing sinister in my posts............or an ulterior motive. I just appreciated what I saw here............simple as that.:)

Evangelos,

First, thanks for your dedication to custom covers for HDM. I really like the site.

Second, this is more of a suggestion, but, if you could somehow manage a way to filter out the Blu-ray covers from the HD DVD covers on your new site, that would be soo much easier to sort through.

There is really a lot of Blu-ray covers to choose from, but when you mix in HD DVD its almost like looking for a needle in a haystack sometimes...

Let me know if this is something you can add to your future site with some funky HTML code. That's really my only suggestion, everything else is hella cool.

Thanks again for your time and dedication to cover art! ;)

My new collection:

They even come with a user's manual LOL :D:


I’ve decided to include an introduction to explain that the objective with my customs is to retain a simple yet accurate and complete description of technical and special features in an effective and hopefully nice visual design keeping the front artwork as faithful as possible to the original poster artwork (given the dimensions constraint of the BD cover, it’s not always a simple task), including a perfect match of fonts and style for the tagline and movie logo.

And it’s not just about the artwork…

The covers also feature what I dare say the most complete and accurate description of technical and special features and hopefully nice visual design:

For the main feature:
Video: resolution, codec and aspect ratio.
Audio: all the soundtrack options are listed including bitrate (and sampling rate for the lossless or main audio track). The tracks are ordered by audio format, and within that by the order in which they are stored on the disc for easier on the fly switch (which can be different from the menu order).
Subtitles: all the subtitle options are listed in the order they are stored on the disc for easier on the fly switch.
Exact running time (down to the seconds).
Year of production

Special features:
Complete description the features including:
Intros and previews not available by menu, marked as such and listed in the order they are played
All the extras are listed exactly in the same order and as they are described in the menu (with the exception of commentaries, which I break down to all the participants and what they are credited for).

Video: All HD extras are labeled as such
Audio: format and bitrate listing for the HD previews and intros
Subtitles: all the subtitle options are listed in the order they are stored on the disc for easier on the fly switch.


Accurate disc type and region coding information (all verified)

A complete and standardized set of logos (including my own custom PCM logo design)

Complete, organized and standardized ‘legal’ fine print (even more complete than some studios list them)

Though it doesn't offer any sophisticated design, I made sure everything is sized to be easily readable, including fine print and credits.

As I'm a little bit compulsive, every single object positioning has been adjusted down to the pixel level to follow my perceived criteria (being that a good one or not ).

Synopsis, critic’s quote and ratings are nowhere to be found on the covers. First because they are complete pointless if you already own the movie, second cause I don’t like ‘em at all

Hey Tschi,

Yes it is no problem to create your Blu-Ray covers:)
First of all you require a Digital Imaging Software Package the most popular being Photoshop or a substantially cheaper Paint Shop Pro software package.
As a member of the Adobe Forum I got to say that if you can afford Photoshop this is way best the package to go for and it is recognized as the industry standard for Digital Imaging so you will be sure at some point you will be able to create fantastic designs without any limitations.

Once you have your software then all you need are some basic Blu-Ray templates (available from many reputable sources)..........then just throw in some Hi-Rez art work ........and Voila' get yourself creative.

I must warn you that the learning curve involving Photoshop is fairly steep......so, I would recommend you start with Paint Shop Pro......then at least you can start designing your covers a little more quickly.

Hey Amish! Nice 30 days cover! Do you by chance have that new style Sony Bluray template? Or maybe a link on where to get it? That's the reason I redid my version of 30 days, the old sony style didn't fit the new movie. Placement of the logos, spec box etc seemed off to me with the old template

no i work entirely off a blank template... only thing i have is guides for the spine

Tschi............if you go to crazycovers.de they will have everything you need.
This is totally a German speaking site.

Blu-Ray keep cases come in different sizes and European cases are completely different in size to US ones this is because now there are 2 case manufactures and not just AGI so there are different size cases.
I have been involved with Sonic Frank who created the Blu-Ray 3D display viewer (Imandix). So, you can be sure that 3188 x 2178 works fine. I produced one of the very first Blu-Ray covers based on this size and tested it in Imandix.
You can always e-mail Frank for additional info on this subject.

Spines go from 6 - 12.5mm depending on how much you want the case to hold.

3106 x 1748 is a popular US size as is 3173 x 1762.

Alrighty, here is my very first ever in the world attempt at making a custom cover. So here is my WIP (mostly all I'm thinking of working on is the image for the back, can't seem to find a high enough res image of the smart technology picture from the back of the blu).

Tell me what you think.

yeah, the back is my main focus right now. Need to find an image to put there in blank spot at least.

And you're right. I really am not a fan of that "Beyond hi def" logo either. I I'm not sure whether or not to go with just deleting that banner or using the "experience hi def" like the 30 days of night one above. (though for that I would need to get that particular layer image). Actually if anyone has that layer image to send I would be grateful.

I appreciate the input. what I really need is a good scan of the back cover so I can get that image on the back with menu system in play. That's pretty much most of the pics I'd need. The rest is mostly cosmetic. Definitely going with bannerless. I hate the banners on Fox blu's. I love the ones that Sony does but sony's look like a bitch to get the spines just right if you go by the "standard" spines.

Yeah, I noticed most of yours were free custom as you put it. Very nice too. Me I'm one of those people who goes for uniformity a lot thus I like the back to all be the same order and have the same style to them. To each his own. I thought I'd share my style with the rest of you being that there are tons of covers out there not done just yet.

Thanks Worm.
Your Illusionist cover is looking nice. There's a few things I would change though....
The front image of Edward Norton has some obvious paint pen strokes all over his lap area. Were you trying to hide some text?
Also, the name "Edward Norton" is right over his crotch. The back cover needs to have the synopsis spaced out more so that it's easier to read. Do you have credits for the movie? If you need the font, I have a link where to get it.

HighdefJoe
03-03-08, 08:12 PM
Worm, if you need clean images for your cover, these might work for you. They ahve no text over the characters at all. If you want them go to my cover site in the signature below and download the ORIGINAL size! I have them hosted on my site for you.
That bottom pic looks best for the front of a cover. You could use the entire image and just black out the text at the bottom. That way you can fit all the birds and stuff on your cover!

Yeah, I was trying to get rid of some text. Now that I really look at it up close I can see it. Damn, it looked ok on my monitor. Ah well, back to the drawing board with it.

LOL, I'll change his name positioning.

hmmmm, I'm looking and I can't see where in CS2 to adjust the spacing between lines. That's bizarre. Any ideas???


There we go. Little change to the front. No more black marks and a slightly different look

thanks for the advice this weekend is the first time I've tried to do anything at all like this with photoshop so I'm kinda learning as I go.


Credit's I'm debating on. I actually hate credits on the back of covers. Prefer to leave them off except for the leads names on front or something. However the font would be nice if I need to use it some time.

Looking very good Worm ;)

See you already got to use the template for previews :D

If you don't mind I have a few suggestions, which you may or may not implement:

- For the credits, you might try to use a little spacing as they look too tight. Also you could tweak the finer print on the credits extending the font width in photoshop. It would look much better as the default size for the finer print on credits font are usually not good enough.

- Second the logos on the front cover really get in the way of the beautiful artwork.

- Third, there's are two misprints: one on the audio listing as this is not a DTS ES track, second on the fine print it should read: (copyright mark) 2008 Twentieth Century... not 2006. Also the word FOX is overlaying the box with the FOX homepage.


Apart from that, great job, eveything looks sharp. :)

I don't like the Troy font used on the Warner cover. It looks too futuristic. I wanted to give it an archaic look to match how I envisioned it would look on my cover. Thanks for the compliments.

Does anyone know where I can host a 3mb file for free? The Troy Blu-ray cover is done. I tweaked it a bit and did a print. It fits the case perfectly. I have a photobucket account but the image is obviously way too big for them.

You can host max 1.5MB on imageshack... if you set the photoshop jpeg transfer to about 9 it will fit... I did a comparison on screen with max file size and that.. I could not see any quality difference on the monitor... shouldn't affect printing I presume.

Or.. if you pm Evangelo2 .. I'm sure he will gladly host it on his site with all the other covers.

WOW! Did you have to redo the Miramax logo, and the legal mumbo jumbo stuff in fine print, or did you just scan the actual cover?

Neither............I made the whole template in CS3:cool:
I usually make my own templates or just re-jig the ones produced by the template design masters.

I have altered the bottom legals etc altogether so that they more or less match up to the retail version. Also, changed to an R rating and some other bits n bobs

I like it, but the movie is rated R, not PG-13.

Alex, I just cant stop looking at the Into the blue cover! Not sure what it is....... :)
anyway, I have a question.... are you planning on adding images to the back covers? You always have great hi res images up front! Where do you find them anyway?

High Joe............Hi Rez images are usually found on "poster pay" sites or on Cover Art Forums which have enormous resources. I did make an offer here for a few places going on a private DVD poster site but, for some reason one of your members thought I had ulterior motives:confused: Anyway, that membership has all been taken up now.
Your best bet is to either join a cover or poster site for your resources.....anything under 2000 x 3000pixels is a waste of time for cover design.;)

Alex, fantastic covers as usual, The only thing I would suggest is placing some text somewhere on the underworld cover identifying it as the unrated extended cut.

About the covers without UPCs, if you don't want a barcode on there, that's fine, but it would be nice to include the 10-digit number. It helps with DVD Profiler and other collection trackers that use UPCs to identify discs. I guess this could be added by the user though.

very nice Geaxun! :)

Kylumi, do you mean actual PAY sites for images?????
Yea, I don't think so. I do just fine finding hi res posters/shots for my covers thanks. It's just that every once and a while I see a poster that I haven't come across, like that nice Jessica Alba shot. I'm sure I'd find that one sooner or later anyway :):eek:

Thanks HighdefJoe, I really appreciate the comments.

Regarding your questions:

No, I won't be using any stills on the backcover. First because I don't like 'em at all, second because it would leave me little to no space for the complete description of technical and special features on more feature packed titles. And since I like to keep the consistency, that would rule out stills for the more bare bones releases. (check the message I put about 3 pages back as I go in lenghs to describe the level of detail I like to include on the features description). I'm almost obsessive compulsive with this things :D

For the images, kylumi (hi there m8 ;)) is about right. I subscribe to 5 major coverart sites. I see what you mean about digging them up at the internet, but I've been there myself and really there's no chance you can find anything close to what we see on private coverart sites. Specially for old movies and such.

You can even find some hi-res imagens (from wallpapers and such) and try to compose your own designs like many folks do. But it sill won't come close to the huge hi-res images we have access to. Furthermore, when looking specifically for original theatrical posters, like I do, things get even harder outside these restricted communities. That still doesn't make things all that easy as most times you have to recreate title treatments, match fonts, effects and such.

With the exception of The Fifth Element, for all the titles I've worked covers so far, at least one version is presented with an exact recreation of the original poster art (frammed given the constraint dimensions of the BD cover) with pristine quality.



Alex, fantastic covers as usual, The only thing I would suggest is placing some text somewhere on the underworld cover identifying it as the unrated extended cut.

Thanks wormraper ;). That's was a slip I missed first time around and had just about fixed when I saw your message. I appreciate the tip ;)

The previews are fixed now. Since I hate banners, I did the same as on the Ghost Rider and TRK covers: a note beside the feature running time.

LOL, nice catch there ;)

Though I have presented one Magnolia preview. I'm working my way through my whole collection on a studio base. Sony is the spotline now, but I have a few BV done in the old sytle (such as Pearl Harbor, Enemy Of The State, King Arthur, Face/Off) that I'll be adapting soon.

Thanks for the compliments, all my covers can only be found on www.9covers.com. I'll be adding my user profile link to my signature here at AVS.

But you can find a few covers in the old style available at Evengelo's site. He's a great guy and a great site, but I gave up submitting my work as I got really pissed after the exact same coves I posted there started showing up on some of these private coverart sites.

Not happy with getting free access to the covers, some "free riders" felt in the mood to get easy credits with the pristine quality of the full res covers.

No worries Alex m8.....................the cover police are on this all the time, funny enough we discovered one of these little rascals posting to a couple of German cover sites just last week...........caught his ISP, tagged him and blew him outta the water:D
There is a nice little system in place whereby the whole community inter-communicates when one of these guys is picked up........;)
