Tried, but it looked a bit messy. Ended up with white quotes since the blue made the cover a bit top heavy in my opinion. Uploading the cover now, thanks for all your help during WIP! :)

I prefer the quote in blue. Have you tried centering the special features? may look better?

Like the new images on the spine.

by Zungam » Tue Aug 02, 2011 9:48 pm

Increased the SF's a bit, and changed the quotes to white. What looks best? Centered the names on front. Also changed the pictures on spine.

Looking much better now :) ... I prefer it with the blue quote but you could try a lighter colour.

by Arkflip » Tue Aug 02, 2011 6:05 pm

Much better imo!
I still think you need to center the names between the edge of the cover and the player's arm...

With the sky/clouds added to the back not sure if the quotes should be blue now... a lighter color will work better. My previous suggestion was made considering the light background.

The features look a bit small... will the text be readble when printed?
Just noticed that the synopsis is too close to the skyline. Try to reduce the leading between the lines so you can add more space between the text and the image.

Glad to see you trying the suggestions :)

Thanks guys, made some changes and I think it looks much better now. Also changed the TT colour to blue with white background on front.

by sauron » Tue Aug 02, 2011 4:02 pm

I agree with Ark also try the same with the white text on the back as it does get lost a bit. Maybe try adding some clouds at the top of the back so it doesn't look as plain?

Just saw this wip and lemme say that i'm impressed with the result so far! Very well executed :)

Couple of things i think will improve the cover:

Front names will work better in blue, same tone you used for the shape behind the title.
Instead of having the names left justified, i think you should center the names.

I've attached a quick preview (sorry for the quality, i'm not at home atm and only have paintbrush available atm)

Being picky i also think you don't need the "A Clint Eastwood film" line.

Back cover looks beautiful with the skyline, but again i think you should work the quotes color, white isn't working.
How would the back look without the handshake image and the white shape you used for the features, and adding the features list right justified where you have the handshake atm? Being honest i don't like the white shape crossing Matt's image.

Just my 2 cents :)

Another update...

Added Johannesburg skyline and the famous handshake on back. Added Freeman picture on spine.

by Zungam » Mon Aug 01, 2011 8:27 am

Update:

The player is back on front, and I've increased the size of the actors. The back is almost done, just gonna add a couple of stills in the empty area below the SF's. Any comments?
