Star Wars DVD Covers — Page 46

^ LMFAO


Now that the Star Wars Sextette (or Sextet or Sextolet) is complete, I wonder if there'll ever be dvd covers for a 6-disc boxset? and if so what, or who, would feature on the covers?

ObiWan, Yoda, Anakin/Vader, The Emperor, C3PO and R2D2 are the only characters I can think of right now that span the 6 films - but Luke, Han, Leia and QuiGonn and perhaps Mace would surely be worthy of inclusion too...

A little patience goes a long way on this old-school Rebel base. If you are having issues finding what you are looking for, these will be of some help…

It seems that printer friendly covers are quite popular so i took a quick shot at it. Sure it is not at printer friendly as most, but hopefully you will dig these!
Enjoy!!!

Galatians 2: 20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

I like the look to those...very original. I got an 'ancient text/manuscript' feel from it, and it still uses the classic artwork which i like as well. If i may make one comment/critique though, because of the feeling i got from it some of the text (mainly the definitive collection logo) seems too 'crisp/new'. But other than that I dig them, may have to use those covers for one of my sets.

I take it from the size those are the high res versions.

Thanks, Simon.
I just kind of threw them together. Depending on the feedback I get, I may tweak them quite a bit more. One thing that makes them so appealing to me is the use of the crisp fonts in contrast to such a rustic background, I may change my mind. The colors turned out interesting.... It has been too much of a Monday to take myself too seriously today! LOL!

Coov, Wow! Those are simply gorgeous A real work of art! I bow in shame at what i am about to show...

To the the rest of you crazy bunch, tell me what you think: Shoud i continue doing this series or stop right there and stop degrading the greatness that is SW? (does it shows that I lack a little confidence in my self?)

Here it goes:

Thanks Papa! Some really cool things going for you in that cover. The Death Star'esque background is a great idea, looks real nice! Using Vader's perspective for the description is pretty sweet idea as well. The font for that probably should not be any bigger than 12 pt... 10 pt even. The SW logo is pretty overwhelming as well, front and side. The front one may be OK, but is just looks a bit gaudy because it overwhelms the Vader in the background of the art. If you got a really nice Vader head-shot with great contrasts, it may work as is. Last thing, Palpy is pretty lost behind the text... I don't know if he is needed anyway.

Confidence will be built with practice and constructive criticism. Most of the better artists appreciate criticism as a means to grow, rather than the "rock star" mentality of... "it is my art i can do what I want." Especially in here.... we are trying to share our art to please others, and showcase what is very important to us. What others think is very important. We won't please everyone, but we can please who we can.... plus it is wicked fun!

@ Coov: Those covers are the best I've ever seen for Star Wars, even though they are a totally different style. They seem like they should be Indiana Jones covers.

@ Papa Vader: Great cover, but Vader's little monologue thing is pure, total cheese.
Author
Time
Squach Master: Agreed! But cheese is good And i feel it is in the style of Lucas Heck, most of it is lifted from the movies!
So if you have any sugestions, go right ahead, I am all ears and open to comments!

Coov: Thanks a lot i will try some (if not all) of your suggestions later tonite! The emperor is indeed not necessary, but I like the idea of him Lurking in the Shadows. I'll just diminish the transparency factor on my Vader, it will bring more contrast to him...

Author

I'd recommend either using the title scroll, or just not putting any text here, such as Coov has done. I mean, everyone knows these movies better than the back of their hand.

Papa Vader, looking good, just a few spelling errors in the Vader monologue- disturbing, Emperor's, I (looks like it was lower-case), finally, foreseen and whispering.

The grammar is a little awkward in a few spots too, maybe a slight rewrite would help, other than that, good work!

I really like the feel of the covers, but the Vader image in the second one looks a bit wierd in white - makes his eyes bug out like a muppet or something? Or is that just me?

Now this is a really really dodgy 5 second mockup from your excellent covers, to show the bit I mean.

I dunno why, but the white vader looks a bit goofy to me. Otherwise, I really like them a lot.

Papa Vader, there is a typo - finaly instead of finally.

I get your point, Laserman, and thanks! Honestly, I just kind of threw them together to see the kind of reactions I would get with the "feel" of the covers and haven't really had too much time to get them just right. The way you have it set up looks much better, and will definitely have the final product be along those lines. In fact, the same effect in Vader for ANH bothered me more than the one for ROTJ... so they will all be changed up a little. Thanks for the input!

If anyone else has suggestions like Laserman's, I am all ears. I may or may not utilize it, but it is always good to hear others thoughts. Thanks!

@Gillean: English being only my second language (I am French speaking), that kind of things creeps up more than I would like... A few pointer on how to correct the awkwardness you mentioned is welcomed and needed!

@SquashMaster: I am trying to do something different (the art, the kind of text...), so using the title scroll is not a thing I would consider for this set...(yes there are more to come!) Anyhow, tell me what you find is cheesy and i'll work on it!


Thanks to Coov's suggestion and Gillean's proof reading, here is V2

Luckily you are very talented!

I dunno... I have spent so much time going back and forth with text and pictures that I tend to just prefer the backs more simplistic. It is like one part laziness, and seven parts never being satisfied with no matter what I come up with. *shrugs*

Obviously I cannot complete either cover for Episode 3 until the movie comes out to get the opening crawl.



Did anybody ever get ahold of these? I think they're great, but I cannot locate them to save my life? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
