Anyone want to take a stab at creating a separate cover for "Last Christmas" from the Doctor Who Series 8 set? All the other Christmas releases are individual CD releases, so I feel this one should be as well... I am pulling it out of the set in iTunes.

I used this Last Christmas cover: https://www.flickr.com/photos/gizmopedia/15684853950/

That user's made a ton of covers for other Doctor Who episodes as well.

That works for me! Thank you very much for the link!

Amazing talent here. Labels should really give you folks a chance.

Just something I'm playing with. I'm trying not to use too much of the usual Star Trek iconography (arrowheads, typefaces, banners, the same publicity stills you see everywhere).

I plan on doing all 15 discs, plus a sample booklet spread. smile





I really like where you're going with these.

My only suggestion regarding the technical details of the Enterprise on the right inside... I would detach the text block a bit from the edge and also from the golden frame at the bottom to give it a little space.

Wow, those look fantastic. I hope you post them when you're done.

As for my addition, I haven't found a good scan of the X-Files boxes, so I made some covers instead. The only difference is I added the volume number.

Thanks!

The images are gonna get cropped one way or another and I don't really mind. It's all in the composition, as long as the imagery is evenly-spread.

But I've put these on hold for the time being, both because of life/work stuff and this concept isn't really doing it for me. It's not different enough.

Could someone maybe do a back cover tray card for the San Andreas soundtrack?

The Watertower music CD has am illustrated booklet, but the spine and backcover are hideous...blank...no credits or track titles at all. It looks like the default layout in the old CD Stomper software big grin.

These are seriously so cool, and I'm not even a Star Trek guy.

Ok, I'll play...

Just got through making these. I tend to design my own covers to coincide with many releases, as I'm just particular when it comes to harmonizing my digital players with nice looking cover art. Most releases get some pretty sweet designs, but others sometimes that packaging punch that makes me want to listen to them (Yes, I know, I'm silly that way.) One of the things that irked me on most of the FSM titles was that the absence of the actual composer's names from the covers of many releases (I always correct this) or it's hard to find good quality scans of the artwork. Case in point was FSM's magnificent 3 disc soundtrack set of the THE UNFORGIVEN: CLASSIC WESTERN SCORES FROM UNITED ARTISTS. I truly love the work that designer Joe Sikoryak puts fourth on all of his projects, which was why I used his style as a templet here, but I couldn't find any good scans online of the actual covers that he'd made for this release. That and I was just too lazy to scan them myself, so... boom... here you go!

These were just done for fun, but I have literally hundreds of more covers that I've personally made (some professionally for composers and records companies) and I'll gladly load some more up on here when I get the time.

Until then... enjoy! smile

    Very nice, Ozman. You'll need to correct one of them though—it's Dimitri TIOMKIN, not TIOMPKIN.

    Cheers

    The recent cover of Intrada's release of Marco Beltrami's RED EYE just didn't seem to work for me, so here's a re-worked version. I just reused the elements that they had provided and then balanced out the text a little better.

    Enjoy!

    Just great work!

    I'm about to get "White Lightening" by Charles Bernstein, but lordy, lordy, lordy, that is one fugly cover! Have any of you talented chaps taken aim at this one?

    Thanks! They make me want to listen to them, too... and that was kind of the whole point to doing them in the first place. smile

    Might as well throw this out there. Given the newly expanded release of Jame Newton Howard's powerhouse score to OUTBREAK (a personal favorite of this monkey artist), and since I have always despised the film's poster and soundtrack art, here's the cover art that I made up for this score that I completed a long while back. Looking at it now, there's a lot that I'd like to go back and address or change, but still feel that it's a huge improvement over officially released OST (or the current "DELUXE EDITION.") One thing that I thought was fun about my deign was that I actually fit in the Motaba virus as part of the overall image, as can be seen as a blended overlay at the base of the monkey. After all, the Motaba virus was a major, but unseen, character in the film, so why not put it on the poster. By blending it in with the monkey, I made the subtle suggestion that he was infected withe virus or that he was a carrier. smile

    Enjoy!
