Re: "The Flash" (2014) - Custom Blu-Ray Covers

Postby Astaire » Nov Mon 28, 2016 5:25 pm

Love the cover and agree with almost everything said here :)

This comment here is to ask you a favor (don't know if its big or small or even feasible). For personal reasons, I keek all my TV Shows (High Def and BD all) in DVD cases (suppose is a way to doferentiate them from the movies). I happen to have many 2/3/4 DVD cases and not enough BD (and I want to use them). Ok, sorry for the digresion.

Would it be possible to do also a DVD variant? I would really appreciate it.

No matter what you decide, great job inddeed and thanx :)

Unfortunately, I only do covers for products I actually have or plan to buy...and that's 95% Blu-Ray. I already own the first two seasons of "The Flash" in hi-def, and have no plans for DVD copies. Thanks for your compliments, though; I truly appreciate it.

I have uploaded both versions of the Season 1 cover; just waiting on moderator approval. Please do NOT upload them to other sites, or alter them in any way, unless you have my explicit hand-written permission. I know I don't have any legal rights in this matter, but I ask people to please respect my work. Thank you.

I wound up noticing a small but important error on the back panel for Season 1. In the process of fixing it, I also reworded the summary and features list a bit. Here's the new previews; I'm submitting the fixed versions now...

OK, so I've hit a little snag with these. It seems that Vortex has stopped making their 14mm 4-disc Blu-Ray cases, opting instead for 22mm like their 6-discers. While it makes a level of sense for them, it sucks for cover designers accustomed to the older cases (like yours truly). So, does anyone know where I can find a flat-spined 14mm case that holds 4 discs? The edges on Viva Elites are too round, wrecking the spanning-image effect.

I found what appears to be a solution, for the spine-width problem. Here are two links for the supplies you'll need. The first is a generic 14mm 3-disc Blu-Ray case, with a flat edge. The second is for some self-adhesive disc hubs, allowing you to hold a disc on the inside of the front panel like the former Vortex cases. I'd personally recommend adding your own hot or clear craft glue, just to make sure the hub stays put over the long term. There would be some measuring involved on your part, just to make sure the hubs are centered properly...but it could work. I plan to try it myself, by the beginning of next month. Feel free to comment below, with your opinions on this plan or any more artistic advice. Thanks again! =)

Well, it seems that Shop4Tech has stopped selling the slimmer, flat-spined 4-disc cases...so its time for the 22mm variety now. Thankfully, I have enough background in my Photoshop file, so I'll post the wider covers shortly. Stay tuned!
