How about a thread for D-VHS coverart?

Would anyone be interested in having a discussion on D-VHS coverart? I always make custom covers for my collection, and wanted to know if there were many others interested in this as well.

I've got a couple questions for everyone regarding their DVHS covers.


1. What type of paper are you printing your covers onto? I've been using some HP glossy card stock, but not sure if that's the preferrred material.


2. What type of cases do you store your tapes in? From the pics, it looks like you've got some nice clear cases.


Thanks for all info!

1. Generally just ultra-white paper.

2. Just regular VHS cases. Mine have a slight texture to the window. I get mine from "99biz" on ebay.

I love doing D-VHS covers, but all that work may be for just another year...when BluRay or HD-DVD replaces my D-VHS collection.


Re: paper, I've started using medium weight/matte finish photo paper. It's cheaper than real glossy paper & more importantly wastes less ink. The quality is close to glossy, but not quite as good.


Re: cases, I bought my D-VHS cases here . They're a tad bigger than the cases D-Theater tapes come in.


I'll send Matt my D-VHS covers as well--the ones he doesn't already have.

Matt, here are the covers I have. Which ones should I send you? I think my covers are of different size than djdrock's since the VHS cases I use are of different size...

In the other thread, Matt has posted a few new ones. See that thread (My DVHS covers, or something like that, most likely on page 2 or 3) he lists what is now up as new. FYI and FWIW.


No matter, enjoy, this is really neat stuff, my only question would be has anyone done any of the LOTR's covers yet? They have shown on Starz-HD.

Nathan,


PM me with your email address and I will carbon you with any new coverart I have.

Hey guys. This weekend the waiting updates will be taken care off. Right now I am working on a screenplay and it is taking up a lot of my time. Meanwhile I have an ailing member of family that I am giving care to, so free time is limited.


But again, this weekend the titles remaining to be uploaded will be taken care of.


EDIT: OK, I just decided to cram the time in and now the site is updated with everything that has been sent to me. Anyone else looking to send me covers please email them to: mattstsevens @ deceptions.net


Obviously you need to take out the spaces in the email address.

I just sent both Matt and Nathan:


One Hour Photo (my completely custom cover)

Out of Time

50 First Dates (a little different version from that of Brajesh)

Eyes Wide Shut

The Cooler


Check both sites, as one may have them up before the other.


Enjoy!

I hope many of you find these useful. I figured it was better to share than just let them lay dormant on a harddrive.

I am glad that some of you are finding these useful. I figured it was better to share these than let them lay dormant on a harddrive.
