Didn't see your post. Sorry. I will have to check that pic out later. Thanks for looking out.
As far as picture order, I just went in order of importance/ how much they are featured. Hurley is pretty prominent in most episodes. So in essence I grouped them in groups of 4 according to how important I thought they were. Plus at the time I started this, how was I to know ethan was to die so early? Add to that the lack of pictures, his character is pretty minimal(3 episodes?) so he was relegated to the last cover. Same with Danielle, she was only in 2 episodes. Everyone else is featured prominently.
I could change the order, but I know some have already printed covers, so I would have to make 'alternates.'
Photos on the backs:
All photos other than the plane picture, and the tiny square character pic, represent the episodes on the discs contained within. So you won't have a picture from episode 4 on case 3. Make sense? That is a picture of Jack pointing a gun at Locke if I'm not mistaken, after, spoiler for the tiny chance someone reads this that hasn't watched yet...

Michael,
I'd love a copy of that cover if you wouldn't mind, but if it's any trouble to send it, I'm happy to wait. Do you have plans to post it anywhere once you're officially finished with it?
Thanks!

Sorry, VHS too small. Keep trying though. Like I said all the screencaps, promotional or not are too small. The resolution just isn't up to printing standards. But continue to keep your eyes open, I am. I appreciate the help.

Michael,
I think I may have found something to help with hi-res issues for images neeeded.
I was looking around for a plugin to PS and saw this link...
STOIK Smart Resizer
This program offers you various methods to resize digital photos including new STOIK Smart Resize algorithm which allows to enlarge digital images up to 1000% without loss of visual sharpness. You will find it useful for multiple tasks – from quality zooming to increasing resolution of digital photos to creation of good-looking photo thumbnails.
- Features
Resize photos using new 'smart interpolation' algorithm
Resize using standard bilinear or bicubic algorithms.
Generate high-quality and high-detail photo thumbnails.
Use dozens of predefined resize templates.
Batch resizing.
See samples here to compare from original to large resize.
This might come in real handy for DVD and other image issues when an image is too small.

Anyway, another user found an image for me, so I am done. here is the flat image, the 3d views are in the first post. Thanks for all the help. Now I need to finish the last disc label, and get cracking on those final two South Park covers.

Michael you are a star. Thanks for making Lost THE series to own. I presume the cover can be found in the usual place with the others and that will also be true of Disk 8 label. Thanks again and please take care.

one2go, yes, and thanks for the kind words.
SiMeCaIs, I haven't gotten to it yet. The last 2 episodes haven't aired yet so a label does no good yet.
I will get it done in the next day or so.

yeah i know the 2 hour season finale hasn't aired yet, but you made dvd 7 like a month before the last ep aired, so i thought you forgot about dvd 8. looking forward for the last label .
I also want to say thanks for all your hard work, you made an awsome set of covers and dvd labels

Thanks. When I did those, they only had the episodes named up until that point, so I couldn't do 8 at the time.
I use another designer's cover for 24 so I'm not fooling with making one.

Sorry, I don't give out referrals. This may sound mean but with all the lawyers from various companies going after our hobby, referring just anyone that requests it isn't a good idea, especially for a "new member" who only has 2 posts. Please take no offense, as it has been a hobby of some of us for 2-3 years, and it is only a precaution.

Michael - just like to say - these are amazing covers you've done. Was going to do my own but any covers I do look very shoddy.
hoozdapimp - I'm in the same boat as you, a few covers I've done myself are very poor quality, and there are some talented people round here who obviously have a lot more artistic quality than me
. Would like to get a referal for certain sites but i totally understand people not wanting to find them out to anyone.

Thanks for the great work on the covers and labels. They are absolutely fantastic! Any idea when you might be able to fix the disc 8 episode title (Born To Run instead of Deux Ex Machina)?

Probably later tonight. Sorry bout the typo. I haven't burned my disc yet, so I haven't been in a hurry to finish the label yet.

I think thread might be dead, but i'd like to say congrat's - nice work.
I may be being gready, but i'm sure someone else has thought of it. Have you done a DVD Menu for these discs? or a Template.. Is it possible?

Thanks. Nope no menu. Someone above did a nice one though. Maybe they would make it available.
