Originally posted by: SweHanzonPerhaps you could put something big and bright under the main logo. Btw, what's the font used in that? Another possibility is having top and bottom borders to give the text a clean background. Or you could put a black box in, going between the top and bottom borders of the logo. Anything to make the text stand out more. I tried brightening the area underneath the text as well as blurring it to make the text above it stand out more. I didn't like that. The title still got lost in the busy background. Then I tried the thing with black underneath the text. I'd thought of that but been hesitant to try. I reckon it looks fine. What do you guys think? By the way, the font is simply Times New Roman.
Originally posted by: SweHanzonThe OC logo would probably look better at the bottom. Tried that. No disrespect to ocpmovie but that orange cow logo is just to big and un-"Star Wars"-y to use. I've left the spine ID and the Hyperspace symbol on though and I'd really like a 'creator' logo to be on there. Any ideas?
Originally posted by: SweHanzonIf you could tweak the colour of the green on the backside to sort of match the colours of the leaves on the front side that would probably look good. I played around with a lot of different greens and found one that was easy on the eye. I agree that it should match the front but every time I tried to make it match the front I got a green that was too dark. In the end I found one that I think works. The darkness of it though meant that the red text above & below the menu shot was hard to read. The same thing applied to the "Bonus Material" list. So, I tried doing that list in black, white & a lighter green. They all looked funny. I wanted the list to stand out from the blurb so black was out of the question. I ended up making it red and not on the green box. Thoughts?

Change the unfocused image of Wicket to a focused one.
The image I believe you're referring to is the menu shot? I just capped the best shot of the motion menu. I can't get a 'focused' cap as Wicket goes by too quick. If you don't mean the menu shot, which shot do you mean?
Originally posted by: SweHanzonIncrease the contrast slightly on the screen cap where Wicket runs down the stairs, just a little though.
Done.
Originally posted by: SweHanzonIf you yourself altered the front image to make it darker (blacker), perhaps you could revert that just a little.
I went back to my source image and realised how badly I'd stuffed the colors. In my defense, they were a little funny on the original image anyway and I was just trying to fix 'em. I've had another go and think I've done much better this time on both the color adjustments and the contrast.
Originally posted by: SweHanzonI like the overall look of the backside a lot. Keep up the good work =)
Thanks. That goes out to everyone who's posted in this thread. Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Please help me out again now to try and finalise this cover as I've got to get to work on the Building Empire & Returning to Jedi ones.
