Title: comic books dvd covers
Post by: dimster on June 29, 2007, 05:32PM
i dont know what site to post this, but since this is marvel related, hope this place is good to do this

i just started making dvd covers for my comics on dvd collections, since there is thousand different titles in marvel comics, it is impossible for me to do whole thing, so i am asking for help from anybody

here is example of what i did (warning this is not real size, this is only 25% of real size)

i forgot some more things about it, front picture is always the first issue

these 4 pictures with names on back is villians only (if cant, then be creative like i did with venom funeral pyre)

2 big picture right above it is for fight scene between the main hero and anybody else 1 on 1 only

then on top part is for the main character, i always try my best and made sure that nobody else is visible in the pic

if u have any suggest or better idea on changes, please post it, am not a kind who think my idea is the best lol  :)

I have no template but I made this custom cover for my scanned Spidey comics. I only got a threesome of DVDs filled with my favourite comics... you never know when you're gonna need it, or when you'd like to read them far from home.  :runaway:

I used Photoshop CS2.
It's easier to insert pics in those windows on your template in Photoshop.

Oh, not really. :) Photoshop seems pretty overwhelming to me at first, but I got more comfortable with it after a while. You can work on small parts in seperate layers. So, it's very convenient.

Title: Re: comic books dvd covers
Post by: iammingy on October 19, 2007, 12:07AM
Remove this topic?
Why not just keep editing the first post if people will continue?
Title: Re: comic books dvd covers
Post by: dimster on October 19, 2007, 09:20AM

Title: Re: comic books dvd covers
Post by: parrastaka on October 20, 2007, 06:02AM
I looked at them and liked them but I'm not going to use them, since I usually compile different character in one DVD amd so on..
