Bad idea, they should match studio templates.

As mentioned, the Blu-Ray templates for companies like Fox and Sony are a bit lacking in creativity, though, so I've gone back to custom DVD covers rather than going for Blu-Ray.

If there are any requests for conversions on my HD DVD covers to Blu-Ray, just let me know and I'll push those to the top of the queue. I've been expending a lot of effort trying to lock down professional graphic design work, though, so I usually don't just sit down and start converting these things without a request.

Haha, well, I wasn't critiquing the technique! Only a matter of taste on those few covers and clearly you are a master craftsman. Additionally, I think I changed my mind on the Children of Men cover.
Some of your DVD covers would be enough to make me buy the movies in question, had the studio used them, like Frantic, although mainly I don't want to buy that one cause it's still only available in full screen...
As for Blu-converts, Aeon Flux, The Good Shepherd, The Fountain, Darkman, Hot Fuzz, The Departed, Out of Sight and The Kingdom are my favorites. Not that all of these have been announced, but one can only hope. But ultimately I think everyone would be pleased if all of your covers were converted to Blu in time
(Also just a note: for some reason, Richard Shepard's name is spelled differently in the billing block than it's supposed to be on the poster-based Matador cover.)

I realize my situation is rather unique, but as I've NEVER seen the original Blade Runner case, I didn't know there was such a thing as a 5-disc HD-DVD case. Silly me.
Perhaps I'll just the cover 3 times and add "12", "34", and "5" to the spines manually. Ghetto, sure, but better than one case with a cover and two naked ones like I have now.

Okay. Here are some Blu-ray covers I put together:
"There Will Be Blood"
"Star Wars: Episodes I-VI"
"Pan's Labyrinth"
They're kind of big files, but hopefully they're worth the download time. Hope you like 'em.

I got tired of waiting for a few titles on my shelf so I made some.
The first one is 'DEATH AT A FUNERAL". The thumbnail is below...
Printed it out and it looks great. The only issue I had is I could not find a CONCORDE HOME ENTERTAINMENT logo for the spine.

The thumbnail is just a screencap of my screen BTW. Ignore all the white around the side and the smudgy ink. It prints out nice and clean.
I made one for The Graduate as well. I took Anthony Albarran's design for Mullholland drive and made it work for The Graduate so the Studio Canal releases would look flush on the shelf.

The actual custom cover's are pretty damn big...anyone know a place where I can host it for others to download? Otherwise feel free to PM me you're e-mail address and I will e-mail them to you. They print out and fit perfectly inside of an HD DVD case.
