The Ceremony [Comments]

Postby alienmem » May Mon 08, 2017 12:12 pm

This is the last dvd on the matching series of the Oshima collection(still have a couple of blu rays left)

What do you think. bare in mind that the other two covers have the same template:

Why not introduce some of the red from the front to the back? I know the other templates are the same but maybe you could make the stills in one row and have the stroke in red? Also the title looks on the spine could do with the same font on the front and moved to the left to align in horizontally centred.

I'm not fond of all the random colors, looks like no thought went into what color things should be.

I supoose you're talking about the colored spine, is that it?


Or is it the stills? Maybe I should desaturate the spine no?



PS. I didn't spend an hour thinking about the colors but the front is black and white; almost.  I wanted to do the banner and the bottom of the spine red, as to go with the front, but I already used red on another matching cover, so decided to make it grey..so still black and white.


Didn't put too much thought on the spine though. just found an image of a couple kissing and slashed it in pieces so i could cover the spine

Just explaining the why i did it this way.

Yup the spine kind of sticks out, the purple still on the back I'd either color adjust it or replace it with one that matched the rest better and last there is that bright red text on the front but that color is used nowhere else on the whole cover as sauron mentioned. Pick a new color that is not used on the other covers, yellow, orange, something and then the grey banners can be replaced with it as well.

Well you succeeded at conveying that concept in the design...  :D

What about now guys? Gave it a little bit more thought on the color scheme and the still that was popping out. What do you say?
