im working on covers. im mostly reworking what people here have done but heres my twist, im modeling the covers somewhat after my lawrence of arabia one which is cloth with glossy plates glued to the front and back, with gold filigre on the spine.
the black border here is the black paper looking stuff from one of the sets here, i believe it is supposed to match the paper texture in the defintive collection packaging, the black border and the spine are to be printed on normal or at least non glossy paper. the front and back plates are to be printed on glossy photo paper and held in place with a spot of glue, the whole compilation finally being slipped into a normal case. i think the contrast coud be very nice but i havent printed any out yet .
i have always desired to be able to one day line up all 9 episodes of star wars together in a nice neat row, i dont know how people feel about the zahn books but they were supposedly 7,8 and 9 so im designing dvd size case covers for the audio books (which i havent heard yet but the books were pretty good, as soon as i can get a copy of the tapes im gonna either cd them or maybe sacd them). that being said, here are my spines.
im planning on doing this with the magnoliafan edits which i hope to get a copy of, they seem appropriate to me, this is the peoples star wars here.
the spines are from a photo of my pride and joy star wars wall paper. i have one sheet, it repeats up and down and diagonally side to side, but as it is behind glass i couldnt do a lot with that aspect of it, the edges are slightly cut off by the frame and the glare from the glass doesnt help either, dont know if a photoshop wiz around here would be interested in tweaking it. so the spines for the episodes are from a section of the wallpaper. for the supplemental spine im trying to do something with the image repeating up and down but its hard, the supplemental cover is being designed for a 5 or 6 disc case, to separate the spine from the rest of the set since it breaks the pattern and so i can cram a lot of supplemental material in one case
a work in progress but hope you folks enjoy it, if anybody is interested in my wallpaper at high res itll be here: www.greenpete.com/4q2 for a bit
