Blu-Ray Custom Cover Art (huge files) - Page 74

I have a question dealing with printing, color management, ColorSync.
I have a Mac and use Illustrator to print out my covers. I have an Epson Stylus Photo 2200. I have used a Spyder2Express to calibrate my monitor. Do I use the ColorSync program to change my printer's color profiles to the profile that the monitor uses? What settings do I choose in the Illustrator print dialog box? My printers dialog box? Basically, how do I get what comes out of my printer to look like what is on my monitor.

I actually like the digibook, which of course doesn't have the bilingual issue... As Amadeus is my all-time favorite movie, I will make a custom anyway... I saw it in 84 in Paris, and I've always liked the french posters... So I think I'll start from here:

Is there anyone who would like to put my design together based on the images I can provide and an explanation of the desired work? Then of course we could throw it up here for everyone else.

...thanx in advance...

nothing...no one?

Awesome cover Demon! Is the movie any good? The cover makes me want to see it!

There have been some AMAZING covers everyone! I'd like to make some but there is nowhere to host images anymore. Flickr expired for me due to their contract change with sbc so my covers had to come down. That's why they disappeared. If anyone has any good site suggestions, let me know! Great to "see" you all again!

I like it. I was gonna suggest maybe to add some sort of iconic NY setting to the background. I did up a quick something using your cover.. I was looking for a Brooklyn bridge one that might work in... but found this one with a nypd car in it. There are of course thousands of images out there.

I accidentally removed the movie stills so I'm not sure what they would look like overtop. PM me if you want the image.

HDJoe - Have you thought about using deviantart to hold your covers? I think another user here uses them. I just searched their faq and it doesn't look like there's any limits on file size for pictures to be hosted there. I've never used the site personally, but I know I've gotten covers from there (from links from this thread).

Hey joe, glad to see you back! I have used deviant to upload my covers, but I think it became difficult for others to easily access it...so what I have been doing now is just uploading them to imageshack, and then hotlinking them to a blog I created. Imageshacks limit is something like 1.4 mb or something...so if you save the file in photoshop as a 9 or so .jpg, it'll usually do the trick of getting the size small enough, but not hurting the quality of the cover.

Only problem with using the method is that you have alot more covers than I do, and organization may be tough with the blog structure.

Here's a look at my first custom cover ever.
And I'm not sure how much interest there'd be in this, but my wife wanted me to make one so here's a custom Blu-ray cover of Twilight that I'm working on. This, as you may have guessed, is my second cover.

Well I'll probably be banned from 9covers.com now, lol. I sent a request to SandMan (power hungry hypocrite) to gain access to the gallery so I could use some artwork and cover credits for Twilight and he replies "There is none." and proceeds to tell me that if I don't adjust my posts they will be deleted. Funny thing though, in the credits requests section he personally said he filled the request for Twilight's credits. So I told him about that, and that if he doesn't want me using his site for resources I won't post my covers there either. So I'm expecting to be banned some time shortly even though I've paid for a year's access.

UPDATE: Yep, he said "I don't care what you have to say *******, you've shot your wad and now you are done!"

How mature.

broganreynik did you subscribe using paypal if so file a dispute he took your money and didn't provide the service.... He strikes me as a person who lets people subscribe, then proceeds to irritate em to the piont he bans em and keeps there money...

I know you are not the only this has happened to either. 4 other people i know
who subscribed to 9covers also got the boot 2 of em didn't even have any sort of contact with him... he just banned em for no reason.

It's amazing out of all the coversites out there 9covers is the only one that isn't a stable place to either pay money into or even upload your own covers!! Eventually you will be banned.

WHY???

Because Sandman is a power hungry useless twirp with the mentallity of a turnip.
He moans at other sites about his covers being stolen but he doesn't have a problem with stealing others lol....what a hypocrit!!!!!!

This maybe not the place to air the views but seeing as he sees fit to ban special avs members from here aswell as normal members. It's worth mentioning to warn existing genuine members here of the problem with this coversite.

You make a good point. I did subscribe using PayPal. I might just have to do that. It is a good idea to warn people of that site, and Sandman in particular.

Broganreynik, good looking covers. Just noticed Nick Nolte is listed twice at the top of the Thin Red Line cover. Once at the end of the second line and then again as the first name on the third line.

Haha, woops. I'll have to fix that.

No, it isn't announced, but it's one of my most looked forward to releases so I just made up a mock cover.

Thanks for the welcome geekyglassesgirl and flatland! I thought about using deviantart but it would be hard to "up" all the old ones plus any new ones i make. This sucks. I really don't want to pay flickr. For those of you that have covers, WHERE DO YOU HOST THEM?

Since I will be eagerly waiting to replace my bilingual retail with yours, I would keep the light blue for the credits and I would place the special features on the left of Russell Crowe, below the synopsis. That's just a suggestion. It looks fantastic!

Why not make the golden accents red to tie the back in with the front text treatment?

Some great looking stuff here fellas, it's nice to drop by every once in a while and see what's going on. I had had a Dark Knight and Iron Man cover in the pipeline for a long time, but the files have disappeared, which is really sad considering how happy I was with my TDK cover. I've posted an update on my blog below, in case anyone is interested.

I also really like the New York background on the Pride & Glory cover, looks great.

Here is a scan of an official cover for "Living Temples." The disc's first run was in the cardboard Baraka case. This one fits in a normal Blu-ray case with the embossed Blu-ray logo.

broganreynik, while i thought Twilight was crap, i think its a genius idea to use the cover of the book. it would be very cool once all 4 movies are out to have them all with the book covers.

It was actually my wife's idea. Basically she told me what she wanted it to look like and I made it. So all design credit should go to her, lol.
