Funky...I like the first one better than the second, but they are both nice. Are those zombie pirates in the film? I havent seen it.

Great customs Sebastian! I LOVE the first one though. It's just freakin' cool! I just have two suggestions: 1) Replace the spine's image with that of the zombie pirate. 2) Lighten up the back cover like you did for the second one. Just my two cents. Keep up the great work.

PS. Where did you get the zombie pirate pic from? I want to use it for my desktop, anyway I can get it?

One little complaint I have is on the first one. I don't like how the yellow-orange glow carries over onto the spine. It lays under the spine logo and detracts from the logo a bit much.
Any chance of reducing the front image so it doesnt do that?

Yup, me too, I love it.

I downloaded that one, and opened it up in Acrobat. The text on the back cover looks godawful, as if it's substituting a font. Zooming in, it looks really rough and ragged.

Are the fonts embedded, or do they use the built in ones on your system? I'm using Acrobat Reader 5, as 6 has troubles with Mozilla Firebird, and there is a warning about "missing features" when initially opening the file, could it be that?

Hmm sorry to hear that. I think you need to update to the latest version of Acrobat Reased, because here the .pdf files do work perfectly. Oh and the fonts are not embedded because I convert the text to paths before I save the cover as .pdf. If you keep having problems drop me a email and I see if we can work this out togther...

cheers

Anyone have a good quality scan of the rear cover? I'm replacing all my scans in DVDProfiler with higher quality ones and I can't find this one.
