View Full Version : Blu-Ray Custom Cover Art
colombianlove41 10-16-08, 12:47 AM i'm looking to do my first cover but there is a picture i'm looking for specifically and any help would be awesome. From Kill Bill, there is an anime looking picture of "bride" i saw a long time ago. anyone have it or know where i can get it?
also, i can't find the dimensions/template for the covers, anyone know that too? sorry I'm so needy
thanks.
xradman 10-16-08, 04:16 PM xradman, dunno if u were aware, but if u google it, adventure of baron m. had 3 designs that amazon posed to their shoppers and people voted for the best cover. i made a vote to and it's the one that is currently on the cover =D.
so hopefully more of that =).
Yeah, I voted for that cover. They should do more of it, but open up the design to the public as well.

HighdefJoe 10-17-08, 12:35 AM Here's my slightly conservative version of Indy 4. I know this doesn't have the classic "Indy look" like the other movies will on Bluray but, I always dug that hat and whip teaser poster and I wanted a cover with it. So it's there...:rolleyes:

eapleitez 10-18-08, 01:23 AM What printing software do you guys use? Using PictureViewer or Infranview gives me a print that is slightly larger than it should be (I have to cut off edges from all around the print).
thematrix49 10-18-08, 02:39 AM You can open them with paint... then go to page setup... change to landscape... uncheck center Horizontal and Vertical... and set all the margins to .1
That should work fine, its what i've done in the past.

Joe,
Fantastic Top Gun cover, as well as Indiana Jones. Would it be easy for you to make the Top Gun into an HD version also ? As I have the HD and not the Blu. If you could, and will, I for one would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

No Problem! This actually WAS one of my first covers back in the HDDVD days. It had an F14 flying over the ocean before and it really didn't fit the movie.I converted it to this bluray version and edited the rear and front images. I still have the hddvd myself, but I want it on blu for the dts. I'll try to convert it back tonight or tomorrow! Thanks for the interest
HighdefJoe 10-18-08, 09:29 PM Scratch that, here it is in all it's HDDVD glory, you know, minus the sweet DTSHD and all the special features, and PLUS the massive load up times of the hddvd player! lol, sorry guys, my PS3 has spoiled me and I very much dislike my Toshiba HD-A3 now.... anyway....

I didn't think I had to say this, since this is the Blu-ray Custom Cover Art forum, but I want the Blu-ray cover. Those sites only have DVD covers, which are not the same size and won't fit in a Blu-ray case.

SirDrexl 10-20-08, 12:36 AM There is nothing wrong with doing them your own way; that's part of the appeal of customs IMHO. :) If I was designing customs I would leave out the "this disc is copy-protected" logo and the proof of purchase, for instance. I would have the UPC numbers (for cataloging purposes) but no barcode.

Wierd, I know I saw Rambo 3 somewhere about the time that Rambo 4 ( Rambo )was released. I looked at all the sites I know of. As I recall, #2 & 3 customs looked OK, but the creator said it was very difficult to find any decent material to make them. I foumd #1,2 and 4, but no Rambo 3. Also, I did not see any of The Doors.

You have to rotate the image a sheet is 8 1/2 X 11.
Whenever I printed any cover art my HP manager did all the work by itself.

I did mine with glossy paper, don't touch it or put it in your case right away the ink takes longer to dry.
Is there any chance someone can provide a high-res scan of this French "Night Watch + Day Watch" cover? I'd like to combine the two movies into one case.

Sorry for leaving you guys hanging.
beast6667 10-28-08, 10:07 PM I'm writing to make a request for a Blu-ray cover, simply because I have yet to find a scanned version of this cover.
It's for the band Incubus, and the disc is the Alive at the Red Rocks concert.
An original scan or a custom will work. Thanks much.

revolutionary1 11-04-08, 02:41 PM Hi everyone,
I'm looking for blu-ray custom covers for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Poltergeist, How the West Was Won, The Godfather: Part III with Bonus Disc, Celine Dion: Live in Las Vegas and The Sopranos: Season 6 - Parts 1 and 2.
The first 3 (above) are Digibooks while the Celine Dion is a double disc cardboard-type case. And The Sopranos sets are over-sized digipaks which I hate. The Godfather Part III with Bonus Disc was part of the Godfather: Coppola blu-ray set that someone, somewhere on the net shared ... I grabbed the first two covers to this set and somehow I didn't get the 3rd one. I checked all the sites I know and I can't find it so I'm thinking the covers were listed in one of the blu-ray forums.
While I like (somewhat) the Digibooks I'd really like to keep my collection uniform with respect to using the standard-type blu-ray cases.
As a side note, a member over at HDD recommended using Kodak Soft Gloss heavy Photo paper (8.5 x 11 inch) to print blu-ray covers. I took this member's advice and bought a few hundred sheets and I was amazed of how great the quality of the printouts came out. The difference between using standard copy paper and this soft gloss photo paper is night and day. Anyone would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between copies and the originals.
So if anyone can help me (and probably others here) out with covers or links to covers of the titles above, I will be very grateful.
Thanks.

Yes I agree. The swoosh is the devil. It was for HD DVD and still is for Blu-ray. Like the Wall-E covers though.

crakerhead 11-18-08, 09:48 PM so i've been printing covers for awhile regular dvd case cover size and i have issue. i just have never brought it up til now as i'm thinking about it...every cover I print seems to cut off a little bit on the side and i have the margins all the way down. it's like the printer won't print anymore on the sheet. is there a certain adjustment i have to make?
brogan2424 11-24-08, 09:44 PM Hello,
Does anyone have BD covers for the Alien Collection (Alien, Aliens, Alien3 & Alien Resurrection)? Could someone please post them if you have them?? Thanks

jvillain 11-27-08, 07:02 PM Times are tight and the studios are cutting back. They are free sourcing their covers now. Release date to be named soon as they can find some.:D

mil0098 11-28-08, 12:30 AM I will put these up on my Flickr site for public access when I'm done, along with the other recent ones like Indy4, and Hulk that I did. I took all my old ones down becuase this guy kept swiping them and uploading them to customcovers.org as his own. He was even stealing the unfinished ones! Thanks for the interest! :o

Oh yea, I'll finish them without the front "swoosh"
Hello HidefJoe,
That ironman cover is very nice, my kids prefer your cover over all the other ones I have.
any update on the wall e cover?

brogan2424 11-28-08, 05:47 PM you have these on BD?????????
I have HDTV rips (Alien is a DTH rip) converted to AVCHD...they look & sound awesome...I saw BD covers that someone made & posted up on another site but you need to pay like $20 to join...I just thought maybe someone else had something similiar around here...

I haven't completed the Walle covers yet. The bad thing is I'm trying to find a 3 disc bluray template since I only have covers that'll fit the standard blu case and not the fatter ones. I'll still make them anyway though. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon, (I'm getting a new 65" 1080p set tomorrow, it's replacing my 56" 1080p! woohoo!)

very nice with the 65" set. I take it the 56" sety is going into the bedroom ;-)
HighdefJoe 11-28-08, 11:57 PM Here's a very early Dark knight cover. I know EVERYONE will be making nice elaborate covers for this movie but, I've always liked simple, basic styles with nice clean poster art on the front. I'm going to do a matching one for Batman begins as well. I need to finish up specs, special features, etc. So, here's my version.....

DaDeuce 11-29-08, 09:14 PM Some of these covers are so awesome, so much better than what the movies come with. I've never really gotten into printing my own covers before, but some of these make me really want to start....
CheapChildren 12-01-08, 12:18 AM Does anyone have a copy of the Bunny Dojo "Dark City" custom?
I fear he and his site will never return as it has been many months. :(
Vader424242 12-02-08, 01:35 PM Is anybody planning on doing a BD Dark Knight cover with Batman in front of the building with the bat symbol burned into the front? I think it is going to be the cover for the standard version... Thx!
David Susilo 12-02-08, 03:27 PM how about a nice Wanted cover? Canadian release cover is atrocious (aren't they all? :D )
HighdefJoe 12-02-08, 07:57 PM Here are two versions of Wall*E, with no swoosh. They only fit the two disc versions though. I was unable to find a three disc template.

Joe, I just printed the Hellboy II cover, Small nitpick - *I noticed that under Audio the colon that comes after the DTS HD 7.1 is so close to the 1 in 7.1 that it runs together. Maybe you can add a space?:o Cover is awesome dude:D:cool:

JediFonger 12-05-08, 10:11 AM nice hellboy 2 cover HDJoe!!! =D
can also do the inside cover too? also kind of nitpicking, but maybe it's 2much work? lol =).

I don't think it's possible to do both sides of a cover. If you print the inside, then you'll more than likely damage the it when you flip it and print the outside, or vice versa.There's also the issue of alignment...
It would be cool though! :p thank you for your interest in the cover!:D

i made this request long ago but would be appreciated if som1 took a stab at it. it is selfish for me to request it, but hey =P, that's how art is commissioned except i can only pay in compliments =P.
it's the Shining, i purchased a BD only without any art cover. i have the empty/blank case, and a low-rez scan of the BD artwork, but i would luv a custom cover for that =P

If Joe doesn't want to, I may be able to work on it next week sometime. I've not been able to make a cover since my transformers cover, but my last final is on tuesday, and I should be able to make a few:D

Why don't we all make covers for it! :D Doesn't hurt to have a variety! Thanks for your interest Jedifonger!
----------
hey Juicyjuice, I really dig that Transformers cover you made. I made one a long time ago for the HDDVD and I wanted a new one for the bluray I picked up. I tried making one again but I couldn't find anything interesting for the front. Just the same old wallpapers every has seen/used. I saw yours a few pages back and it looks awesome! Unique and exactly what I was looking for!Thanks!!!
HighdefJoe 12-05-08, 08:43 PM Wow, there is NOTHING for The Shining! Here's a very weak early attempt! Don't be too harsh!

JediFonger 12-06-08, 12:36 AM yesh joe, even that random splash is better than what is default i think. i like the whole axe through the door thing though it's such an iconic of an image of the great film. that or the blood elevator scene.
imho the back cover should be overlook looking ominous =P. thanks for taking an interest!!! =D.
TSHA222 12-06-08, 01:02 AM I have the Harry Potter gift set and I would love some covers for each individual film if anyone has some. PM me!

RE: Wall-E cover ahhhh... didn't catch that! Thanks!!!
No worries Joe, I actually picked up the 3 disc copy used ($19 ) from a local video store and the case was smashed. The disc are pristine though. I put the two main discs in a spare double case I had, and put the digital copy in a paper sleeve and stuck it in the case. Your having included the digital copy reference worked out perfectly for me :D ;)
Thanks again.
John
jlaavenger 12-06-08, 02:02 PM This may have been asked but what kind and brand of paper do you print these on? Too thick and you risk creases right? But you want glossy paper right?
I have a Canon i9900 Printer.
BlueMan1 12-06-08, 05:05 PM I just received a copy of The Mist from iNetVideo. It has French Canadian plastered all over the cover. Is there anyone that has the US retail cover they can scan for me??

I use HP Advanced Photo paper. it's a bit thick but it works perfectly! strong too. Using this paper also prevents that"photo stuck on plastic" thing that some other paper might do with the plastic sleeve of the bluray case.:D
JediFonger 12-08-08, 12:01 PM wow joe, thanks for taking up my request, lol =D. that's awesome i would definitely use somn other than a low-rez scan of the original design =).
here's a custom for HD DVD:
http://sixpop.com/files/219/1967580420_758cc2332c_o.jpg
please don't be offended. i'm not 'criticizing' u or armchair opining, etc. here are my suggestions for how to make it even more awesome =).
- i luv how kubric uses subtlety in his films, so doing it on the cover would make it even more awesome than the movie already is. so maybe use the same font aesthetics as the film like hd dvd front cover, but maybe smaller. subtle being the key here. i do like the original wb cover, but it can be kinda' bland. so i dunno what else one can do to spice up the cover itself per se.
- as for the back, i like the idea of the overlook hotel as the background for the back cover. i can send u a screencap from the film itself when i get home tonight. 1080p should be good enough for printing, no?
- i'd also keep the text white to match the rest of the kubric releases on the back spline. the titles usually match the film titles themselves.

His Blu-Ray cover site is not working, which is clearly the site I was referring to since I requested one of his Blu-Ray covers. :cool:
HighdefJoe 12-08-08, 04:45 PM Wow, that HDDVD Shining cover looks way too "busy" for me. I like simplicity. Just because you can cram a bunch of stuff on a cover doesn't mean you should.
Either way, if you can provide the hotel image, I'll use it. There are no good images for this movie other than what my cover and the hddvd cover already have. I do like the font though, so I'll look for it later. :)

meanwhile, i have uploaded .bmp SCREENCAPS of the blu-ray disc itself. there are several direct screencaps of ICONIC moments in the film. not everything, but most of the big ones i think will be useful in ur artwork and creation. i'd luv for u guys to give it another shot as a 'definitive' version? =P. anyways, i personally think it's one of the best films evar made =). quiet, but awesome upon repeated viewing like many of kubrick's films. here's the files:

haha, def. just a poster I found awhile back. I don't really know how it was used, but I always thought it was rather interesting. I chose it over others, because I felt it would be different, and really matches the tone of the joker character in the movie

flatlandgamer 12-13-08, 10:27 PM My batman cover is now uploaded at full size on my "site".

If you click on the batman thumbnail on the site, it gives you the option to download the full version on the left.
For Those wanting a cover for Shawshank...will something like this work?

This one is a bit tougher for me seeing that I've never actually seen the movie. It's still very rough, and I need a back cover scan so that I can put in the features and summary and such, but it gives an idea of what I've started.

Does anybody have a scan of the back so that I can finish this one? I need the specs/summary as I've never actually seen the movie before.

Yes. I can get you the scan when I get home this evening.

This is for the U.S slim case will be
doing a alternated version for the thicker
UK case aswell...
Please don't upload my covers anywhere else more so 9covers
if this happens then i will stop uploading covers here.....
Demon, it's almost a for sure thing that your cover will end up somewhere else. It's not the fault of people here though, mostly. There are people from many other sites that come here just to see what's new, then they either go to our host sites, or get them off the download link WE provide, and upload on pay site for their own credit.
I used to throw a fit over at customcovers.org when mackey kept uploading EVERYTHING I had on flickr(even unfinished covers!) but then I thought, who cares? It's not like we're getting paid to make these things. If someone is getting credits for our covers, so be it. At least there are people that would actually PAY for our covers. That means they're pretty damn good! It's just unfortunate that not everyone knows we have them here for free. Anyway, don't deny avs users your covers. They look great! :)

I know that and it doesn't bother me it's just i don't want my covers uploaded to 9covers as the admin there is a vulgar repulsive excuse for a human being...........
The majority of my covers have been upped there by hollywood and porter with no recognition to the original artist....
AmishFury 12-15-08, 03:41 PM yeah i share your feelings about 9covers
first of all it seems you can't even VIEW the bluray or hd dvd section without being a paid member (however if you don't login you can view the forum but not the threads)
the guy was a bit rude to me when i tried to start contributing saying i couldn't use a single scanned element on my covers when some of his own covers are modified scans (double standards FTL) the way he worded this stuff to me was a bit insulting

I agree. Sandman is, for lack of a better term, a piece of sh*t. Here's a wonderful bit of writing courtesy of him after I asked why the vast majority of the covers in the HD-DVD section were taken from eaprogramming and artists on AVS:

Classy.
Demonology, and all the other guys who make custom covers, keep up the awesome work. Don't let trolls like Sandman discourage you.

How are these cover sites/boards still around? I remember ages back a guy on the home theater forum started a similar cover site and then got sued big time by the studios because he charged $$$ to cover bandwidth, etc.
I used to create a ton of custom covers and upload them there but when it got shut down I thought all similar sites would suffer the same fate.

Demonology 12-15-08, 05:14 PM funny thing that jay my ban there is pretty much similar says something about
stay at the bottom of the barrel where i belong.
But to be honest he's a hypocrite he moans at other sites about his covers being upped to them but does exactly the same himself on his own site...
He is a waste of space, like talking to a brick wall except a brick wall has more sense...
He's run off some descent artists from that site just so he can send out his little helpers to take there covers and upload to his site....
Unfortunately there are some bad examples within the human race he just happens to be at the top of the list........
flatlandgamer 12-15-08, 06:03 PM I used to worry where my covers were ending up too, and even tried joining a couple of other sites so that I could get my own covers on there first, but it was really taking away from the whole reason why I make the dang things....for the fun of it. I love movies, and I love making my own covers for the movies. I post them on avs so that the honest people that just want a different cover can use them, free of charge/hassle/whatever. Those that get put elsewhere? oh well I guess...
I just hope by putting my name and such in the credit block that some people will start to realize that the covers aren't being created by the people who upload them.

Both you guys do incredible work, so don't stop.
Funny story. Right after the ban, I got a couple e-mails from people with just ridiculous stuff that I would be ashamed to say in a bar, let alone to someone I don't know. It was honestly some of the most disgusting, racist things I have ever heard......problem is, they weren't smart enough to hide their ip addresses. A couple IP traces and phone calls later, Comcast's network abuse team is investigating a user in Grand Rapids, Michigan :cool:
Motto of the story: you wanna be derogatory and violent towards someone, then be smart enough to not do it towards someone who has an entire department of computer nerds at his disposal :p

perfectly worded my friend! I felt the same way. Wasting too much time trying to corral my covers from around the net killed the joy I take in making my own covers.:p

hurleyjj 12-15-08, 08:29 PM Hey guys. I have posted this before many pages ago but I wanted to post it again.
The Blu-ray Flickr group would love the custom cover makers to post their custom covers and share them. It doesn't have to be the only place you post them, of course. But it would be wonderful for everyone with a Flickr account to join the Blu-ray group and post their covers.
Non-Flickr members I would encourage to sign up just to post them to the group. The group is about 120 members strong and always growing. I personally love custom cover art and have used quite a few and always got awesome feedback on them from the Flickr Blu-ray group members.
Here's a link to the group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/blu-ray/
Keep up the good work everyone.

This one is a bit tougher for me seeing that I've never actually seen the movie. It's still very rough, and I need a back cover scan so that I can put in the features and summary and such, but it gives an idea of what I've started.
Beautiful!!! Thank you!

I still have the paper from the back. It may be loaded with french (i'm in canada), I'll have to check once the kids are in bed. The english will still be there though. I'll try to get a scan up tonight! Does it need to be good quality, or is it just for info purposes and legible?

AmishFury 12-15-08, 11:39 PM Would someone be kind enough to post a Tropic Thunder scan (preferably the original cover). I'm in Montreal in bilingualcoverland, and Tropic Thunder is currently the only bilingual title in my library. I hate it. No no, please understand, I truly, profoundly, viscerally hate it.
:) TIA...
not perfect but it's a scan

I bumped up the levels on this one at the end (which I do on most of my covers) in order for it to print a bit cleaner without being too dark. I can't actually test this one since I am low on ink...and I don't have the movie, so if it looks like it needs to be lowered to get a more appealing color of blue when those of you that wanted this one print it, just let me know! :)

I think the levels are perfect. The only place where I can notice the change in levels is on the 3 small images on the back. But that is very minor. I like it just the way it is.
Thanks very much for creating this cover...looks outstanding!

That cover is sweeeeeeet.
Just one super minor thing since you mentioned it wasn't final. You may want to increase the leading on your typesetting of the back over "The murderous Bride is back..." area because the text is really tight. No need to indent the first line either. Again, nothing major at all, just pointing it out.
Again, great work.

I'll try and do one in the next week or so without the yellow box thingy if you would like me to. Other than that...are those dimensions for that specific cover correct for the larger case? I've never actually done anything other than the regular single disc cases, so I would hate to give you the wrong size.

It's from the drawing BestBuy gave with the purchase of the disc.

I just picked up The Dark Knight, and wasn't really happy with the included cover art. (I really loved the simple original movie poster theme).
So I created my first ever bluray cover here:

Somewhat Full resolution version here:
(Imageshack limits the file size a bit, but it's 300dpi and should print just fine)

Enjoy! Hope you like it.

You thought about sending it to evangelo? He'll host it for you on his page. I'm just trying to jumpstart this thread again....evangelo was huge over on the HD DVD forums.
Excellent work though!

ferrari fan 12-21-08, 07:40 PM hey, I was wondering if anyone had any time to do Resident Evil Trilogy cover (hint hint Hidefjoe ;), I love your work ), I would normally but I'm a bit backed up in life and working on my Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life cover.
Worm....when you finish your Tomb Raider:Cradle cover....PLEASE post it as I would love to get something better that the one that came with it. Thanks.
