Thought I would just start a new thread here to collect what I’ve been working on for my complete box set. This includes 10 blu-ray discs (all 25GB discs). 3 for each film, and 1 trilogy documentaries disc. These are the custom blu-ray discs made by njvc and feature the Harmy despecialized editions plus lots of special features and documentaries. I based most everything on JMoomer’s work, and use many of his covers. I decided to use a total of four cases: Three 3-disc Criterion cases for the main films + special features + documentaries, then one single-disc Criterion case just for the trilogy documentaries disc. You’ll need to start with JMoomer’s Criterion-style covers and disc labels, then add what’s below.

I made the box out of thick black card stock, then I printed these two sheets out to apply to the surface using a spray adhesive. The first image is the front, top, and spine. The second image is the back and bottom.

Since I used the 25GB set, I needed to change the third disc label for the SW documentaries, and I also needed a new label for the trilogy documentaries, so I made these:

sw3

trilogy

I also made this cover for the trilogy documentaries fourth case in my set to match JMoomer’s criterion style for the other cases.

For the insides of the case covers I used various McQuarrie images since the Criterion cases are translucent and you can see the inside of the cover sheet.

I made all of these using GIMP, and will be cleaning things up and providing the source .xcf files soon for anyone who wants to use the layered files. Also, different versions of the labels will be coming for those who went the 50GB disc route. Enjoy!
