Official DVD Replacement Cover & Case Thread - Part 5
I thought the old thread was getting really big (10 pages) so here is a fresh, new thread.

Any cover that is under 150dpi is not really fit for quality printing. So please use you own discretion before printing out any cover!

Feel free to post cover requests and links to other covers in this thread.

Thanks for taking the time to post this, but I added it to the first post in this thread per your original suggestion, as I think that will make it easier to see for people new to the threads.

I'm also archiving parts 2 - 4 so they don't get deleted.

Finally, I emailed RMan360, and he said he no longer has time to maintain the thread, and he'd be happy to see someone else take it over, so feel free to volunteer. You can restart the thread and I'll copy in any cover requests to keep everything neat.

Of course, JJE-187, if you would like to maintain it, you are more than welcome to do so.

Thanks Blade--deleted my post.

Could someone scan in their Life As A House cover (complete) along with the insert? I'd really appreciate it! :)

E-mail me at jallin@cabletv.on.ca

Thanks!

[habers]

any custom artwork for attack of the clones yet? just for fun?

[JJE-187]

habers. I don't think you should be asking for covers for bootlegs in this forum. AOTC is not avaiable legally anywhere so there is no need for a DVD cover.

:) Thats why I said "Just for fun".....There are pleantly of posts of coverart for movies that arent out yet...I just like to see what people can come up with creatively...no harm no foul

[JJE-187]

If it's ok with the mods it's ok with me. I am aware of the Star Wars & Indiana Jones covers (i have them myself) but I copied my widescreen VHS to VCD and AOTC isn't available on any format yet so I wasn't sure if the mods would allow it to stay

Does anyone have a cover for LEGEND THE ULTIMATE EDITION? There is no way I can keep the booklet insert in this case. I HATE this case!!
Does anyone have a cover forTOTAL MOVIE #8?

Thanks

[Mountain Biker]

Regarding the Legend DVD cover, would it be possible for someone to make a cover with the original poster art? I have no problem with the new cover, but for nostalgic reasons, I was really hoping someone could put together a cover using the original poster art. Thanks.

[phraseturner]

i'll second the need for Legend custom cover. anyone? anyone?

[JJE-187]

Add me to the list looking for a Legend cover. I would prefer a simple scan of the current package.
and if anyone has them i am looking for these HK DvD covers.
Ring
Ring 2 (NOT SPIRAL)
Ring 0: The Birthday
Ring Virus
Pyrokinesis: Cross Fire
and covers for these also
Child's Play 3
Stephen King's The Shining (ABC Mini-Series)

[raytrade]

I am having the worst time searching for a cover scan of "O"- Deluxe Edition in Region 1. The biggest problem is that the cover art search engines are not set up to search effectively for just the letter "O" (too many results). I did find a scan of a foreign version of "O", but I really could use help locating the U.S. "O". Any pointers to a site with this cover would be appreciated, or maybe someone could scan their cover for me? I got a previewed disc from Blockbuster in a generic BB rental cover.

Thanks for any help!

:thumbsup: Thanks, looks great!

I'm still hoping someone will do a cover with the original poster art...until then, this will do just fine. :)

[BasiaMille]

Okay, just got Legend today, and I'm on the bandwagon for a keepcase insert. And yes, I did just download the art from dvdcoverart.com. But two things,

1. Is there any way to print keepcase covers at 100% on letter sized paper with a DeskJet 920c?

2. Anyone out there bold enough to dismantle their case and do a direct port of the back, perhaps with white text on a black background? And could we get the Scott signature on the front? Ooh, and what about that "I Am Darkness" text from the poster? Or would that be just about too much? Thoughts?

Again, glad to see somebody (in this case, StoneCold (freeserve@stonecoldalex.fsnet.co.uk) ) put something out so quickly. But as we've all seen on DVDcoverart.com, one cover does not necessarily have to be the final word.

Keep 'em coming,

CS

P.S. let's not forget Real Genius or Innerspace, either!

[JJE-187]

Anyone have Insomnia (Criterion) that they can scan? i bought this at a pawn shop for $5 without a case. Also anyone considered making different covers for the "Cheapo" Incredible Hulk DVDs?

[hunchentoot]

Does anybody know if the "Double DVD Replacement Case" at Bags Unlimited is Amaray?
Also does anyone have a Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker - The Original Uncut Version snapper conversion cover/insert?

[brizz]

I just found a copy of the Criterion The Third Man for $8 that's missing the insert....can anyone help me out with that?

Just finished work on custom covers for The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn. Below are two little previews:

Great covers Sebastian. i am almost tempted to replace my Book Of The Dead cover with your Evil Dead cover!

I've been looking for a scan of the Basic Instinct Unrated Cover to replace the blue ice pick case. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Thanks :D I actually replaced the Book of the Dead cover with my new on, because its kinda useless to have a copy of the book as a cover when you have the real thing sitting on a shelf :) Its also nicer to have all 3 evil dead movies sitting next to each other with corresponding spines ;)

Sebastian

[JJE-187]

There is a Basic Instinct cover @ dvdcoverart

[BasiaMille]

So I picked up a double-disc case (a la Gladiator) to replace the ultimate case for Legend. Figured out how to print StoneCold's cover on letter paper without clipping (though even at 100%, it wasn't quite wide enough to fill the cover, most curious), and when I went to put the booklet in the clips...

Yep, the damn booklet's too wide! I even tried slipping it into the sleeve, so the US poster art (without titles, but it was just for kicks) would be the cover. In the process, I ended up bending the art and making a mess.

Long story short, anyone have an insert with Scott's message and disc contents sized for a keepcase?

And again, might there be an alternative cover design altogether?

Back on my meds,

CS

the cover is the correct size - whatever program you used to print compressed it slightly. be sure you don't have anything like 'scale to fit' selected...

[kornhead]

anyone one have a cover Memento: LE? the case is two much trouble to open. I'm want it for an amaray case. any help?

[JJE-187]

Has anyone considered a new Starship Troopers cover using the teaser poster? here is a look at the teaser http://www.hundland.com/posters/s/StarshipTroopers-B.jpg

Autumn, Added those sites to the list. Thanks for pointing them out
Jesse

[Brett]

Looks like R2 is going to have a much better cover for Real Genius, much more like the LD cover and poster.

WHen this is released would a R2 member please submit a scan of this cover.

[Gnosis]

Still looking for a nice looking custom cover for the R2 version of the Deer Hunter... And yes, I have checked dvdcoverart.com.

[towbinaj]

Thanks for the great work! I have a request for a a cover for the dvd that came with the eminem Show cd.

Thanks

[randy1320]

Does anyone know where I can get a dvd case that will hold two discs but is not thick? I mean the kind of case that came with Gladiator or Star Wars Episode I, NOT the kind that comes with Big Trouble in Little China...

[JJE-187]

randy1320 check c4component or inetdvd. there are links at the beginning of this thread

[The_Greek]

I tried my hand at a Starship Troopers one using that way too cool teaser poster. It my first shot at a cover, so I have things to work on still. A lo-res version is at:

StarShip Troopers Lo-Res (http://home.ec.rr.com/daathens/StarShipTroopers_LoRes.jpg)

[Mountain Biker]

Greek, nice job :thumbsup:

[The_Greek]

I've uploaded a zip file with the current hi-res version in the same directory the lo-res version is in. I'm still doing a little cleanup work, but it's not too far off.

[JJE-187]

Greek that cover is AMAZING! that is 100x better than I ever imagined. You should e-mail it to Matt@dvdcoverart. I bet he would love to put it up on his site
Jesse E.

[mdX]

Jesse,

anyone wishing to submit a cover to be hosted on dvdcoverart should send it to mattd@oddpost.com, per the instructions on the dvdcoverart help page

[The_Greek]

I've updated the Starship Troopers Cover.

Starship Troopers Lo-Res (http://home.ec.rr.com/daathens/StarShipTroopers_LoRes.jpg)

I've also created another one with the other teaser. I think i might like it even more.

Starship Troopers Lo-Res (Alternate) (http://home.ec.rr.com/daathens/StarShipTroopers_LoRes2.jpg)

I'll be submitting them to DVDCoverArt as well.

[AOD]

Great resource guys. Thanks.

[Randy810]

Does anyone have the booklet inserts for the STAR WARS TRILOGY?

The _Greek

Both of the STARSHIP TROOPERS are fantastic! Thanks for your hard work.

[mdX]

Randy -

no booklet inserts exist for the SW trilogy (do you really think the bootleggers would go through the trouble of creating their own?)

[AOD]

Does anyone know where I can find the patch for Cover Print and using the HP printers? I looked on the Cover Print download site and couldn't find it. I've got a HP 1115 Photo printer. Do I even need the patch? Thanks

[Randy810]

mdx

No, I was just hoping that some enterprising and industrious soul made a set for themselves and would share their efforts.
Not a hint Matt. I love all your covers and they are much appreciated.

Randy

[mtucker]

Oh yeah. I mentioned in the last thread that I really like the Matrix custom cover that was made for both the movie and the Matrix: Revisited disc. Does anyone have that particular cover available as an eps. The printout of the jpg's left a little to be desired.

[mdX]

mtucker

the (matrix cover) jpegs on dvdcoverart are about as high-quality you can get. you're most likely limited by your printer, not the jpeg format (since the compression is set to minimum)

[JJE-187]

Has anyone considered making DVD covers for The Ewok Movies?? i just got these copied on vcd and would love covers for them

[Disc-Flipper]

I'd like to see the Ewok Movie covers made, as well as one for the Star Wars Holiday Special - done in the same gold-banner style as the Phantom Menace DVD. Maybe even covers for Troops and the other Star Wars fan films.

[JJE-187]

Yeah, Disc I forgot about the Holiday Special. I would love a cover for it too, also Mr Moody made a custom cover for The Dark Redemption for me. If you e-mail him he might still have it. it isn't matched to the other covers though. It's just a pretty sweet custom cover

Maybe some industrious soul could upload a Photoshop template of the Star Wars "gold banner" cover... so that other (slightly less) industrious people can start making and uploading SW covers.

[RMan360]

As I posted in DVD Coverart's forum...

I have scanned and posted the Band of Brother's promotional flyer that I recieved from HBO before the program aired (get it while you can). I thought maybe someone might be interested in using it to make DVD covers, since it will more than likely come in a gatefold case.

Does anyone have a copy of "They Live!" that they can scan? I'll do the cleanup work, but I need this cover very badly

[phraseturner]

i have the VHS NTSC cover to Song of the South, from a release at least 7 years ago. Japanese text front and back, but similar "The Classic" black diamond design of the other older Disney VHS titles.

i'd be happy to scan it and send to Matt to post foe downloading.

[Randy810]

I have an HP scanner and the scanning surface does not allow me to scan a complete Laser disc cover. Do you have any help for me?

Thanks in advance

If its my cover you're talking about, I can send it to you as eps file or as an uncrompessed tif in 32bit colour but I doubt you will get a better printing result with it...

[JoeyOhhhh]

Whats the appropriate sized font to use on a cover, because I can't seem to get it right.

Sizes for back text and logo text are what I'm looking for.

Finished a new cover and thought you might want to have it too :)
So heres a little preview...

ROTFL yeah but too late... you could have catched the ultimate rare version with two other spelling errors... ;) ;) ;) :D :D


Seriously Sebastian, thanks for the cover -- it is cool. There's only one thing wrong with it...not enough JESSICA ALBA! Especially the scene in the auto shop. [you know which one i'm talking about...:drool:] Hehe I bet you wouldn't waste a second if there would be a directors cut with some skinny dippin or tanning involving the sweet Ms. Alba :D :D Me neither ;) To bad Dark Angel got canceled :(

@JJ-187 I have CTHD already on my list, just a matter of time bevore I will have one ready :)

www.dvdcoverart.com has been down for a couple of days now...MDX, do you know when it will be back up again?

[mdX]

had to switch hosting companies, as I was using more bandwidth than they though I should (~10gb/month)

the site will be back up as soon as the DNS changes take place. I'm in the process of uploading everything to the new server now.

[Sebastian]

it's me again... just finished a custom cover for New Lines THE HIDDEN dvd... here's a little preview:

http://www.myprivateparts.net/download/The%20Hidden.jpg

What do you guys think? Better then New Lines cover or not?

In case you like it, you can get the full-sized version from my homepage (http://www.myprivateparts.net) ...

[DVDude!]

Sebastian: Personally, the spine should have some color other than green, IMO. I wasn't too thrilled with the front cover of New Line's version; I think yours is better. The back of New Line's was pretty decent, showing the menu screen too. I think their version edges yours simply for that reason (although I prefer your color scheme.

BTW, your Hellraiser cover is great! Also, although I'm not a fan of Idle Hands, that cover is leaps and bounds above the crap that the studio designed. Well done!

(And www.dvdcoverart.com is still not up for me...)

[Mountain Biker]

Looks pretty darn good Sebastian. It's definitely better than NL cover. The only thing I would recommend adjusting is the green picture tone of Kyle McLaughlin on the spine and maybe change the tagline on the front cover to either white or black lettering, for it's a little difficult to make out. Nice job :thumbsup:

Thanks for the comments. I think IŽll leave the spine like it is, another color would IMHO break the color schemeof the whole cover. The only think I donÄt quit understand is why you like it when they have a picture of the menu on the cover... it's imho pretty useless...

Thanks :D But I hope you like my Hellbound cover too ;)

Nice job :thumbsup: Thanks! :D I could put back the standard color for Kyles face, but I found it kinda stands out to much rather then blending in... and for the tagline... its much better readable when printed out... I had it in white first, but it was too much of an eye catcher and diverted too much attention from the main motive... but I guess thats just a normal matter of taste :D

[JJE-187]

Another great cover Sebastian. are you gonna try A.I. using the original poster? how about Hollow Man? or Kiss Of The Dragon? or The One? there are so many bad covers out there that i'm sure i'm forgetting alot.
Jesse E.

[DVDude!]

Sebastian: As for the menu screen on the back, call me weird. :) From a marketing standpoint, the menu makes sense. These alternative covers are supposed to replace the standard studio covers, so they are for fans of the movies (or haters of snappers). When I designed a cover for an issue of Inside DVD with the old black & white Little Shop of Horrors, I included a pic of the original Inside DVD coverslip (had Freddy Krueger on it) as a...marketing gimmick, I guess.

Hellbound? Cover's pretty good and works well, but I *really* like the Hellraiser one. :)

As for Idle Hands, based on your cover, I'm thinking about renting the flick. I saw it in the theater and was pretty disappointed. However, maybe I should give it another chance. After all, if I like it, I'll buy it and then I can use your amazing cover. (I'm serious too. Call me weird.)

[DVDude!]

Oh, and www.dvdcoverart.com is finally back up for me. Woohoo!

[Roykirk]

Sebastian,

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but I keep getting a CRC error when I try to extract the JPEG from your The Hidden RAR file. Am I doing something incorrectly? I'm using WinAce 2.11 which has had no problems with other RAR files in the past.

THe problem might be, that I updated to winrar 3.0 wich might cause you these problems. Try unpacking it with winrar 3.0 and you should have no problems...

Jesse E. I only own Hollow Man ond never thought of making a custom cover for it, but now that you mention it, the cover really isn't good looking compared to the poster art... but I have Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon on top of my list now, so you will see a cover for this dvd next...

Kiss of the Dragon and A.I. are both good canidates for custom covers but I like to own the dvds I make covers for, and since IŽam totally out of any spare money to spend on dvds this might take a pretty long while :(

:D Well since for me the movie always comes first, you probably won't ever see a screenshot of the dvd menu on any of my covers... :D

Won't call you wierd, but don't blame me if you don't like the movie despite the new cover ;) ;) ;)

Hey RMan360

Do you have any promotional flyers of the Sopranos? Looking for any and all seasons.

[Rogue588]

OK guys.

Try not to laugh. But, for the past hour or so, i've been trying to create a cover for Willy Wonka. Wait. Create isn't the right word. I scanned the cover and i'm trying to assemble it following mdX's advice on www.dvdcoverart.com.

Now...

I have two problems. One i actually solved . And the other is just plain baffling me.

Lemme start with the hard one.

I'm basically all done with the cover but i'm stuck at the point where mdX says "[b]Now, down convert the image to 300dpi*, and save. You are now ready to print your new cover." I really can't figure out how to down convert the file. Right now it's 19.9m. But, most covers i've seen are around 3-5m. What am i doing wrong?

The other problem is pasting the front/back cover onto a separate document. For example. mdX says to single out the front/back cover. resize it, then paste it onto your template. Well, i don't have a template for a DVD cover so i just create a document with the insert measurements. Now when i paste any particular item into the document/template, it's way too big and doesn't fit.

I know it's probably me, but i'm at wits end about the down converting.

Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, i suppose this would help: I'm using Adobe PhotoShop. :)

[BrianPM]

Rogue588,

Now that DVDCoverArt.com is back up you can get some nice templates from the help page. Note that these are at 300DPI, so you need to downconvert first before you paste your pieces in.

To down convert, this is how I do it in Photoshop Elements, YMMV since I know Elements has a simplified interface versus Photoshop.

- Image -> Resize -> Image Size
- Change the resolution box to 300 DPI. Leave everything else in the dialog alone. The pixel count should adjust automatically.

Sometimes it seems like I've had to Select All before this will work, maybe in it's a bug in Elements.


Everyone,

I can't seem to get this color/contrast/brightness correction thing right. I put together a cover for Lost in Space, but my silvers all ended up very, very blue. Then I decided to try Cannonball Run - it's much simpler, with a white background and not much art on the cover. No matter what adjustments I make the maroon title on the front is more of a muddy red, and I can't seem to get Burt's face out of the shadows on the back cover.

All of the covers that I've printed out from DVDCoverArt.com seem to have accurate colors, so I know I'm doing something wrong. Maybe my Umax Astra 600 scanner is just a piece of junk.

A professional graphic artist I'm not. Any of you pros have some tips for a rookie? :) As mentioned above, I'm using Photoshop Elements.

- Brian

Anyone making a cover for the Total Movie #8?

Sorry, I didn't save the flyer from the first season, because I didn't think the program would go over. :rolleyes: Oh well...

[Mountain Biker]

Whoever did the Friday the 13 Part 7 & 8 covers posted at DVDCoverart...THANK YOU! Very nice job. :)

[Excelesor]

Is there a site where you can pay for the covers. Not nessecary custom covers, but the normal dvd cover for ones who have goten theres damaged. tia

www.DVDcoverart.com has a link to a site that prints them at cost. They have a variety of covers, not much, but you might wanna check it out.

[a.wickliffe]

I'm looking for scans of "Lost Horizon," "Arsenic and Old Lace," and "It Happened One Night." If you've got them, please email them to me. Thanks

[Randy810]

Does anyone have a cover for the companion of the DUNE miniseries that SCIFI channel had calledSecrets of 'Frank Herbert's Dune ?
Anyone have Total Movie #8 cover also?

Thanks in advance

[Rogue588]

Thanks for the help BrianPm. I finally got it.

Right now, i'm just scanning snappers. One of these days i'll get enough nerve [& time] to try and create my own like Sebastian. :)

These are the first two i've done:

http://members.aol.com/rogue588/willywonka.jpg

One of the best movies ever. And one of my favorites. The re-release cover IMO sucks. I guess that was WB's revenge at being "forced" to release a w i d e s c r e e n version. :)

http://members.aol.com/rogue588/rgc.jpg

Do i really have to say anything about the original cover to this? God, it's amazing that Columbia pays people for crap like that. The new front cover is from the front of the insert.

I've been trying to send 'em to mdX [so he can put 'em up at www.dvdcoverart.com/], but i've been having problems with it. Hopefully, it'll be straightened out soon.

[dtsmovieguy]

Guys, I need cover art for the movie "They Live". Anybody have it available?

[Sebastian]

Heya,

just working on a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon cover and thought you might want to get a peak of it prior to its release... so here it is... :D
http://www.myprivateparts.net/download/crouching_tiger-hidden_dragon.jpg

Cheers,

Sebastian

PS: Positive feedback is always welcome ;) ;)

[JJE-187]

That a sweet cover Sebastian. Why not just use the regular or teaser poster already available? http://www.postersfast.com/asp/search.asp?searchmode=title&searchstring=Crouching+Tiger
I think (Regular D) would work great with your cover. or maybe you could use (Regular C) which is my favorite
Jesse E.

[DVDude!]

Sebastian: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon... WOW! The front cover image is a little hard to make out in terms of detail, but the design is great. Well done.

Pretty easy answere, first of I really like the artwork IŽam using right now and second I couldn't find any high quality sources for the poster artworks you mentioned... the landscape one really works pretty well, but without a high res scan of it preferably of a source without any text in it, you will have to live with the one IŽam using right now...

[sharkypuffs]

Sebastian you are the man. I have always liked that CTHD artwork ever since I saw those posters on billboards here in NY. It gives the film a mythic quality and reminds me of comic graphic novels.

I haven't forgotten the scans of the BLADE and AUSTIN POWERS 2 screening invites that I promised you. I just have to figure out how I'm going to scan them. I'm new to this so bare with me. I'm dying for a nice BLADE cover with this original poster image to go along with the great cover for the upcoming disc of BLADE II.

[soccerdvd]

I am having a hard time finding cover art for a less popular movie, Extreme Days. I looked at all the sites listed, and some others, but no luck. Anyone out there have any ideas? I'm looking for the insert with chapters on it if possible...

thanks!
Josiah

[Brett]

SoccerDVD,

Is that movie any good? I entered a contest to win it, but didn't. Looked like it might be some mindless fun, so I have been trying to trade for it.

-Brett

[soccerdvd]

Brett- Yeah, it is pretty good. A lot of laugh out loud parts, and a lot of mindless fun. But all in all, it is fun. If you like extreme sports, it is really cool, and even if you don't it isn't 90 minutes of skateboarding, so you won't get bored to death. I liked it enough to make a VCD of it :)

Best,
Josiah

[JoeyOhhhh]

If anyone can scan and easily edit any fox five star covers, please send me one. I plan on experimenting with some holographic paper I found.

Any fonts and/or images that appear on them are appreciated too.

[Sebastian]

It's done... at least IMHO :D
I put the final version of my CTHD cover now on my website (http://www.myprivateparts.net) for all your download and printing pleasures ;) But bevore you print it out it would be nice if someone with better english language skills could see through the cover for typos :) Thanx in advance... :D

Oh and here a tiny preview :D

@Matt hope you're happy now with the logo block :D ;)

[JJE-187]

Sebastian, The cover looks great (the front is starting to grow on me) Way better than the Sony cover! You are quickly becoming the "King Of Custom Covers"
Jesse E.

[Roykirk]

Sebastian,

Your Crouching Tiger and The Hidden covers look great! I've already printed The Hidden and switched my DVD into a keepcase.

Were you planning on doing an insert for The Hidden? Also, might you consider making some slight alterations to your Crouching Tiger cover and create one for the R1 SuperBits edition?

Thanks for doing these wonderful covers!
