Okay, I agree that "professional cover art" should have a barcode as it also acts as a UCP barcode for retailers to scan when an individual goes to a store to buy an item, this DVD is not going out to retails so why provide an inaccurate barcode

BUT...

This is a fan created DVD, so why try to fake it or make it look like retail DVD?
You see when that is done it leaves the impression that you're trying to "fool" someone into thinking it's REAL official retail DVD, that is why most custom DVD covers for FAN created DVD’s do not have UCP Barcodes. AND that is what makes it look like a bad Asian bootleg.

It's not the art work that makes a DVD cover look bad, its bad design supervisors and a real lack of interest in the production of the DVD that makes some covers bad. Yes, there are a TON of custom covers that are made to replace either badly designed or lackluster existing covers; and including a barcode on a replacement cover is very acceptable as it is the same DVD that the barcode is associated with.

All these covers look pretty cool (all the covers featured in this thread) and I look forward to more of EVERYONES future works!!!
