Why do my covers look amuture compared to everyone else's.

[kylumi]

hehehehehe...................maybe its the titles that you go for......................even the retails for these titles look amateurish.

Take your time and look closely at some of the other Artists covers ...............download yourself a nice template from the download section...............then pick yourself a movie which has lots of available artwork......(king-kong............or something)................then take it from there...............if you need any help etc pm me

To start with, the screencaps are all over the place. Just too many bro.

[MrHenryDog]

PRACTICE, you should see my early covers,i thought they were great,then i found this place.
everyone starts somewhere,and while im getting better, im still crawling along compared to a lot of the artists who seem to fly through covers with ease and make them look very professional. dont be dis-heartened. dont be afraid to ask for help,and for me the best thing was reading up on my paint app,and trying some new things....dont get stuck into the rut of add front image/add back image/do spine,because you will never improve.

[drwho]

The thing is there are no retails of these dvd's.

the screencaps are all over the place. Just too many bro
could you explain more, not sure what you mean, do you mean
pride is at the top
mma top middle
dynamite bottom middle
shockwave bottom

[kylumi]

i think that is what Irrob is saying...........................

look at the wrestlemania covers.............

[Irrob]

The covers look like a collage. Too many pictures make the cover look too busy.

[kylumi]

true

[drwho]

The covers look like a collage. Too many pictures make the cover look too busy.

is that not a good thing for the type of dvd it is mean for
the thing i thought was gunna get complained about has not been mention (which is good) as these other things can easily be fixed (somehow lol)

[kylumi]

what thing?...............................do you mean its a crap choice of cover

[Irrob]

Don't relax yet, there are more things that need to be addressed besides the pics (font choices, logos, overall composition) if you really want these covers to not look amateurish. I said "to start with". I assume you want a professional looking cover, which implies you want to take your abilites to the top. You may or may not take the advice given. At least find covers in the genre you really admire and take inspiration from them. last post.

Cover 1:

I like the front of this cover.

The spine: the blue color of the font, i would change it because it not corresponded with the rest of the cover.
Suggestion, make it yellow like the front picture.

The back: the pictures of the people looks to cut out and vary to much in contrast.

Already said: the logo's should be in the right place and at the right time.

Cover 2

To much pics all over the cover.
and as i already said the pictures vary to much in contrast.


Hope this give you some answers, and if you keep on trying it will all fall in the right place.
So don't give up.

The spine: the blue color of the font, i would change it because it not corresponded with the rest of the cover.

This is something I thought meself (but, never got round to change)

The back: the pictures of the people looks to cut out and vary to much in contrast.
Already said: the logo's should be in the right place and at the right time.
Will work on them

do you mean its a crap choice of cover
If we all liked the same thing, what a boring world it would be

At this moment in time I can't do better than this, so I'll put this to bed and try some other UFC title (so there kylumi stick that in your pipe and smoke it.lol I appreciate your input apart from what I should or shouldn't like to make covers of.). I'm a slow learner, but all what has been said will sink in. As for ufc one i only have jpeg image so the only thing I could do was add a nother text in yellow (but it needs done again, I like the front of that one as well.

[kylumi]

yep........................your right buddie...........everyone has differing taste...............

in actual fact .................. your 3D view does not look so bad............ and I know it's hard when your just starting out...............but, LISTEN, LOOK AND LEARN..................and it will all suddenly happen

hehehehehehe........................i tried sticking it up my pipe but, i found it exceedingly painful

[MrHenryDog]

clone out liberty,her arm looks attached to the blue-oyster wrestler on the right.

[drwho]

MrHenryDog, I had done this on purpose I guess it's I just like the unusual but I know what you mean.
kylumi, Pleased you took what I said with the humour it was intended with. As I certainly didn't want to upset an artist (and no I don't mean Piss artist) like yourself, but had you said you shoudln't start with these type of covers because you can not find hi-res pics of MMA fighters, I would of knew what you meant. As this was done as a request for someone who needed a dvd cover that he converted from a tv source. I sent it to him in an email and I noticed the quality (as i don't have a printer with ink (as there is 2 in the house)). Lets just say, it could look the best cover but for quality it's (for a better word) shit. Like I mentioned I'm a bit slow on the upchuck, but I keep looking at other WIP's to help me and read what ppl have to say.

[kylumi]

tell your pal to make his own covers........................so that you can concentrate on the good stuff............hehehehehhehe

[MrHenryDog]

that looks a lot better already

[drwho]

Thanx to all for the tips

[drwho]

I have tried thinking about what everyone said and I hope I've came up with the answer or is it 2 + 2 = 5
the bottom bit couldn't find anything to go so copied off old UFC cover (and sizes). I know these are not good enough for here but are they stating to look Pro.
