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 would be interested.

Thanks!

Glad to see someone else is excited about this movie coming to HDNet next month. I too have been working on some coverart for this flick. Here is my work... Had to recreate the logo for the spine and did some other photoshop work to get it done.

Yes, I make custom stick labels for the top of the tape, but not the spine.


I have never tried to make them the silver metalic look. I do recall on dvdcoverart.com (now defunct) that there is a silver paper that is available. I never bought any though.

Brajesh...very nice job. I love it!


I just completed my cover for "The Rainmaker", and am pleased that it is being played in the OAR. Woo Woo! This cover was a bit of a booger because again, I had to locate the fonts for the the spine. The font is very very close.

I agree, that a tracer program might be quicker, but I have just always tried locating the fonts.


"Blow Out"? When is this on in HD?

Yesterday on HBO. It is on again this Wednesday!


Thanks for the feedback so far. It is really fun!

Some of the covers can be done in a short amount of time. It just depends on source material availability. Some can take several hours. Either way, it is fun. Like Brajesh said, it is part of the hobby!

BUMP......


Thanks to all for providing samples, I'm using them for wallpaper, and loving it! Actually I was wondering if you guys do this sort of thing for a living? I never thought about making covers for my (D-VHS) HD movies (GRIN), where do you get the case's with plastic outer covers, (ie; DVD keepcase's er; D-Theater)? OTOH; I guess a web search for this type of product will provide some vendors. None the less keep posting samples, it's all too neat! And finally, a very positive part to this hobby! ;-)


Take care...... watch, record, and mainly enjoy some HDTV of your choice tonight.

Mikey...thanks for the feedback. No, I do not do this sort of thing for a living. It would be fun though...


Anyhoo, yes, just shop around for VHS cases with sleeve. I picked mine up at ebay. I used to go to the video store and ask for some. I would get them free, but most were beat up.
