Showcase

Tamas asked about a slideshow of this collection so I've decided to post it in three segments due to the large file size of the videos and they will be hosted on YouTube to keep from eating up EFX bandwidth as they will be rather large. The quality is decent but obviously the covers have to be scaled down to make slides and then they are compressed to video which can in a few cases make them look rather odd, if you want to know what they really look like you will just have to download the full-sized image from the gallery lol.

Covers for Spines 001 - 299



Covers for Spines 300 - 599



Covers for Spines 600 - 999



All the covers in these three slide shows can be found here along with matching disc labels.

OMG, that is quite the collection CT! They are all amazing and never thought in a million years you had such a LARGE collection, wow! When did you start your first Criterion custom cover and which one did you create first? Do you remember?

Also, even though it might be a hard choice, which one do you prefer and why?

When did you start your first Criterion custom cover and which one did you create first?

Do you remember?

Of course I remember, the answer is the first one came by way of a entry for a Criterion Design contest in 2010, the title was the Thin Red Line it's the first preview in here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6256&p=44390#p44397

Also, even though it might be a hard choice, which one do you prefer and why?

I don't really have a favorite cover, I honestly think they could all use improvement myself, that's part of design evolution, as time passes you look back on things you did and see a endless list of things you could have done better because your skills and methods improve over time it's unavoidable if you work at it.

Since you are "forcing" me to pick even though it's "hard" lol I would probably go with Summer With Monika because it was colorized from a black and white image.

Original Source Image and the Final Key-art.


I made a GIF showing some of the steps for colorizing the B&W image used to create the key-art.
This slideshow will repeat after a slight pause at the end.
