Cover Art Question

Howdy all,

I recently acquired the Dr. Gonzo DVD's, and I have to say thank god for all you passionate video editors.... Lucas has gone mad with power!!!
Anyway, I was wondering how you all have gone about creating the "Box" part of the Box set. Creating the individual packages for the movies will be pretty simple, but how do I go about creating a customized "Box" to put them in? I've toyed with the idea of taking apart a commercially sold box set and seeing how things fold etc., but I'm sure someone else has a much better idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I made a draft of my sugestion, but I can't post an image, as I cannot upload it to a server. You if you're still intrested, PM me and I'll send it to you.
And now, for your feature presentation:
The Classic Re-re-re-release of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back.
In this version the word "WOOKIE" has been changed to "HAIR CHALLENGED ANIMAL" and the entire cast has been digitally replaced by Ewoks.

After I asked a frined of mine to host these two pictures, here it is:
A simple to make box draft for printable cardboard.
Instructions:
You will need two A4 printable cardboards. In the first you print one side, and on the other the second.
Note that the sides coloured as pink and green are going to be glued together, so you shall print the image only in the side that has a black "tail" underneath it (bacause the side with the black tail is supposed to be on top of the other side, that way your construction will be more stable).
The white lines are the points where the cardboard gets folded, so they must have twice the width of your cardboard's thickness. The little red lines are to be cut off.
So, L= the length of your DVD case, Th= the sum of your cases thickness, and l-H is less or equal to your case's height.

Was that good enough or did you need a more sophisticated one?
