So I came across this thread on some Google search around page 3. I have been eagerly awaited the final product, but feel compelled to contribute now. I really like the idea with the cover but I agree with it being a bit busy, but don’t get me wrong it look great. Before Nowhere Man came out on DVD I had created my own custom DVD cover. This was made just before taking Photoshop and Photoshop Advance, after which I made a few changes. I was trying to make it look as authentic as possible. I tried to put as much detail in, including the DVD logo, company logos, a storing DVD’s in a cool place warning, even down to a bar code. I just wanted to share what I’ve done, it took a lot of time and each item on the picture is a separate layer. I also have a blank Photoshop template with guides that when printed will fit a standard DVD case. A further step I do is after the page is printed, I use a corner punch that make each corner rounded. I also have a lot of logo for both black or white backgrounds, and color logos.

@djsmokingjam, it might be possible to put the Army of Darkness logo on it’s own layer and try and recreate the picture behind it using the rubber stamp tool.
