and the lad who started this who great covers thread - nearly 13 years ago…
the following set is not on the Rikter cover collection disc…
EDIT - June 2017 : photobucket.com have been really annoying and have recently stopped 3rd party hosting - so many of the links for covers on the next few pages (pages 176 to 180) are now broken… (and I’m unwilling to pay the seemingly exorbitant $399 a year for the links to be to work again).
Fortunately all the covers posted are also stored in a googledrive - which is free and easy to use, view and download.
Just click on the link below to go through any covers you wish to have a look at and use:-

or simply download them at these mega links:-

(these have been recently posted elsewhere - but thought it best to keep as many together as possible - plus they are a top set 😃)
Hey wow! Those are mine. Good find 😃.
I managed to get 99.7% of Rikter’s 2004-ish dvd covers collection downloaded (it gets stuck on 99.7 unfortunately & goes no further) - and yours are one of the few sets on there that are fully complete and was able to download/view properly 😃
Nice set mate - quite rare to find inserts back in the day too!
I made this cover a long time ago for the Dr Gonzo DVD set of four discs. It’s for a thicker case (ALPHApak three DVD case with a single disc clip in extension).
Quality mate - I fount this on Rikter’s dvd disc collection too 😃

The very talented JMoomer has some similar superb Criterion style covers here - http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/974732 & http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-Despecialized-Editions-Custom-Bluray-Set/id/49995/page/20
Definitely worth checking out his other top work too (I think he also knocked up some matching disc art for the set below as well?)

No, no. There is a modicum of stupidity involved. There have been so many unfinished Criterion-esque covers that I thought I’d create some unfinished ones of my own. I’m still tweaking them, plus I won’t consider them final until the cases arrive and the test prints look correct. Because the two-disc Criterion cases were sold out on Casetopia, I opted for three-disc sets as well. But unlike njvc, my third disc is the grindhouse version of each. At the moment, I have two designs of each because I like reversible covers, though for Jedi, I may replace the droids cover with non-reversible Ewoks that are revealed when discs are removed (TBD when the cases arrive). Of course, someone can use just one cover and use whatever interior artwork they fancy.
These aren’t done yet in my eyes. I’m open to friendly, supportive, nurturing opinions (and proofreading!) because I just do this for fun. Please don’t ruin my fun.
Also, I initially started out making the discs thematically the same as if they all came as a set, but I got bored of that rather quickly. Instead, each disc is meant to stand on its own.
Enjoy.

However, if you click on the ‘link’ below each picture - it will still take you to the cover / art etc to view and download.
Fortunately all the covers posted are also stored on Mega - which is free and easy to use and download:-

I’ve managed to get 99.7% of Rikter’s superb Cover Collection disc (from around 2004 - 1.45gb) - and have uploaded it to a goodle drive, here - https://mega.nz/folder/0PFRzYpC#DLtVxS3gT3ikn67Qo5SbVw
Anyone using that link should be able to view and download any of the files on there if they wish.
Some of the dvd covers, disc art and inserts will be posted below and in a few posts to come over the next page or two - I hope they come in use, or inspire some other great people on here at ot.com to do their own covers etc…
If anyone has any covers by the superb ‘Coov’, ‘Ell the Ewok’, ‘DarkJedi’, ‘ReverendBeastly’, ‘Darth Solo’, ‘Yoda Is Your Father’, ‘FusionAddict’, ‘Chainsaw Ash’, ‘Hotrod’, ‘boris’, ‘EyeShotFirst’, ‘Falle’, ‘cerbero’, ‘AVP’, ‘Spyderbyte’, ‘Imrahil’, ‘ThrowgnCpr’ and ‘Yourfriendkaysar’ please post them up - along with any other decent sets/covers/discs/inserts etc by anyone else on here - it’d be a shame if their quality covers and art were lost over time (and to old broken/deleted links and obsolete photo servers etc)…
In no particular order…
^ cheers mate 😃

same for these
These may be somewhat similar to what you are after? (a bit of editing may get them to more what you are after etc?)

mryupa left a dropbox link to download them here - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fqy499bl6gla74x/AAAJiiJXvf6i_ZvYHMAIprc3a?dl=0
They are blu-ray size - but shouldn’t be too difficult to resize for use as dvd covers…
i think this is a great thread! a lot of you have been saying that you print your discs with a canon pixma printer, but i am not sure what pixma printer is the best/actually prints on a disc. could someone please point me in the right direction?
A good friend lets me print dvds on her Canon Pixma iP7250 printer - am very happy with the results. It is just a printer though - no scanning or copying.
My old Epson Stylus R300 Printer still does a good job for printing to discs - despite being around 10 years old (it’s just out of ink - inksaver covers are the future 😉).
Good thing to remember when purchasing printers - the cost of the ink. Printer manufacturers make their money from the ink they sell - and hardly make any money on the actual printers
(this is why some printers seem flimsy, don’t have a good ‘build quality’ or decent components inside - and can be problematic when things go wrong - when compared to printers a from a few years ago).
So always remember to factor in how much the ink will cost for the printer you are thinking of buying…
These are quite old covers and discart - there may well be some more modern ones out there on google images and the like…
