Blu-Ray Custom Cover Art (huge files) - Page 106

Ordered some 3, 5, and 6 disc cases for various projects that i want to tackle.
edit I ordered today and they have already shipped, great service so far. They are coming from GA and I am in Michigan, should have these on Thursdsay per fed ex tracking!!

Can anyone point me to templates for 15.8mm and 21.8mm cases. I have been searching and cannot find one and do not want to pay on the cover sites.

If any one can help I'd greatly appreciate it!

Bummer, out of stock on the 5 and 6 disc cases!

Curious to see if anyone has made any covers for the 4 TNG movies that come out Next Tuesday. The ones that come with them look kind of bland.

to anyone else looking for a Rush: Snakes and Arrows cover, probably only me, but I managed to throw this together in about 1 hour (thats quick for someone thats never used elements before)

Meant to have the bars on the top and bottom (as original cover had it and i liked that) and I do know I forgot a title on the front. Prolly gonna fix it

bpmford,

Can I request covers for paycheck and passion of the christ?

Thanks

Just got my order of 6D cases, I ordered 15 of them. I'm so happy, it will make my collection so much sweeter!!!

wow, THANK YOU!!! =). now i can replace the BSG sets

I got in on the Vernon Blu Ray cases and ordered my self a 3 Disc case for my "I am Legend" Ultimate collectors set. While I love the holograms and the overall package it did not fit well on my shelf so I made a custom case. As with my simplistic Battlestar Galactica covers that I posted a while back I do not care about this looking store bought, I just wanted something that conveyed the movie to me when I pulled it off the shelf. So here it is, the only studio icons left are the rating and the blu ray logo... this is a work in progress (almost done overall) but if anyone has any ideas how to alter or make it better I'm all ears. If you have a photoshop suggestion please explain the techniques or link to a turtorial as I am decently versed in photoshop but am ALWAYS looking for new tips and tricks...

Love your cover jordy... I like the somber tone... 2 things though: I'd get rid of the font pattern, maybe try to play with the outer glow or drop shadow but careful with that one. And maybe there's something to do with Smith and his dog, to better match the background, I would pay a visit to the hue/saturation box for example. (one last thing, I think the light effect might be too obvious). Anyway, these are just some little suggestions.

I just wanted to put in a request for a custom cover for Wizard of Oz. I want to buy the UK BR, but the cover that's being shown is godawful.

Does anyone have the scanned single blu-ray covers for the POTA movies or even custom artwork for POTA BD?

I have the box and I'd like to see the movies on my shelf with the rest of my BDs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I know this is a dumb question but you all use regular typing paper right?

Greetings all!

After buying LOST SEASON 1 & 2, I was dismayed to find there were no episode guide booklets inside (unlike their DVD counterparts). So I decided to remedy that:



LOST SEASON 2 CUSTOM EPISODE GUIDE BOOKLET

It's already measured for your 7 Disc Amaray Case and in full print layout. Simply print Page One and Page Two on one sheet, and Three and four on another. Set your printer to landscape, 100%, scale and not FIT TO PAGE. There's a slight grey border around the outside for trimming purposes (cut it where it meets the inner borders.

(After working on my mammoth BATTLESTAR GALACTICA booklet for over three months, this one was a snap, taking me a mere two days!)

Enjoy (and look for SEASON ONE soon!)

This is what I used them for!!!!!!

Nice cases there bpmford. But what will happen when more movies are released of those. For example the Tarantino ones, you would have to move them to a bigger case.

Any thoughts of doing the tv series Heroes seasons 1, 2, and 3 in this style? Please.

GREAT job, Vic! Look forward to Season One!

I will just have to make another set. Besides, only my favorites have gone and will go into that set:

From Dusk Til' Dawn
Inglorious Basterds
Kill Bill Vol 1&2
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs

I attempted to stay as ahead as possible, I should get a few years without needing another set case (until Tarantino does 6 more great ones!).

Plus, my second Disney*Pixar set has all unreleased titles waiting for movies:

Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
Toy Story 1-3
Up

So I think I'm good for now!

Dude.....that Dark Knight cover is f_____g sick. I gotta have it when it's done. My suggestion is less is more. It's a work of art as it is, and the fewer words you can put on the front and back the more impact the pictures have. I'd love to see one with no names on the front and very little on the back.

Do the Vernon cases have the Blu-ray logo on them?

Are you going to be making covers for the Next Generation releases? I love these covers and want to have the whole set look the same.

Morpheo...
Thank you so much for your suggestions...I have always been terrible at blending cut out figures so this helped. Here is my updated cover that I have altered per your suggestions. Please let me know what you think as I like your work and value your opinion, any more suggestion or opinions from any members will be appreciated.
Regards..Jordy

I have some Battlestar Galactica ones I've made that I'd like to post, but the forum won't let me post URLs until I have made at least 3 posts. So please forgive the next 2 pointless posts I make.

OK, here are my Battlestar Galactica ones. They are my first covers, and I'm reasonably pleased with them.

I got the idea for the front from dv8pdx's covers over at the Blu-Ray.com forums and managed to track down the same image.

Mine are a little different in that I preferred every season have the same colour cover, and I put Razor in it's own case. Also I included a custom "Face Of The Enemy" disc in the Season 4 Box set.

Some of the text on the back is rather small, but I decided I wanted all the episodes and special features fully listed on the back, and wanted a uniform font size for all seasons.

Once they are printed on quality paper they are quite readable however.

These were designed for the 15mm Viva Elite 4,5, & 6 disc cases; but could be easily made to fit wider multi-disc cases by simply widening the spine.

Below each image is a link to the full size file.



Season 1 - Full Size


Season 2 - Full Size


Season 3 - Full Size


Razor - Full Size


Season 4 - Full Size

I really like these covers...even though I have enough blank 6 disc cases for these I have to pass as ink is crazy expensive and I already printed custom for 10, 2 disc cases that I made. Regardless thank you for the effort as it is much appreciated.

Universal dropped the ball on this set in america and I have to say that its been great seeing all the custom covers made for this set.
Thanks to all the BSG artists!!!

Yeah, I was a little late to the party with these. I really only made them for myself, but since they turned out OK I thought I'd post them in case someone else might want them.

Looking great.
The spine logos are a too soft... Place them above everything, with 100% normal opacity; I would also increase the input levels a little on the front and spine, maybe something around 10-1.00-222... Again, these are just some suggestions, you decide. I really love your back with the text!
