The text on the back needs to be replaced of course.

I love the background but why "Anthology"? Why only have those 4 characters on the front? Might as well just stick with Jayne Erso alone, no? Also , I dunno if the front is finished but those imperial cuisers  kind of stick out in my opinion, since you faded the main characters. Maybe fade them out as well?


I really love where you're going. Can you do a blu ray cover as well with this art?

Looking good but maybe the characters opacity is too low?

Very nice start. Always nice to see something a little different than the norm. I do agree with sauron, though. Can't wait to see what you do next.  :)

I hate to add my worthless 2 cents, but I agree with Sauron & Wys about the opacity of the characters on the front. While it looks great on the screen & I like the idea, such images, when printed out, often wash out to obscurity. I see this all the time. I see a cover I love, but when I print it out, what made it a great cover is lost by being too faint or not contrasted enough to stand out on the paper. Much of this is the quality of the printer & the paper, I know, but the end goal is a usable printout, over the wide universe of possible output devices & paper variations.

I do like the design. Looking forward to seeing more.

Because it's the first installment of the new Star Wars Anthology series.
Lucasfilm and Kathleen Kennedy announced that the standalone films would be referred to as the Star Wars Anthology films.

Are you sure?

I think it's an anthology series in the sense that it takes place inside the star wars universe but i think each installment and please correct me if I'm wrong is just called "A star wars story".

So Rogue one is "a story" that is a part of that big anthology. it's not per say an anthology on it's own.

I dunno if I'm  explaining myself well or if I'm 100% corect. i am a Star Wars geek though but that doesn't make me God. Maybe someone can shed a better light on this.

That's looking much better now but the girl needs more contrast as she is a lot lighter than the guys. Either increase the contrast or use a levels adjustment.

Is the death star a little low quality or is it just the preview?

I feel like you could boost the contrast a lot more to match... See my example below, I added a brightness/contrast adjustment layer and boosted the contrast up to 100.
