I think you’re using too many colours, you should limit the colours used so everything feels cohesive, for example look at how venome used very few colours in his King Kong cover...



Same with Arkflip...



I feel it will really make the cover look a lot better.

Looking good :) And you are correct, we all like different things and have different opinions. The main thing is, that you are happy with how it looks.

I was not too keen on the film strips either, maybe continue to experiment and find another direction perhaps?

Course it's your cover and if you like it then it's fine becasue it does not need to please me :)
I do appreciate your opinion and everyone elses. Not everyone likes the same things. I just try to take it all in and come up with something nice that I like and hopefully others will too.

I've added the synopsis and bonus content. So much closer to being finished. But now the border on top & bottom of movie stills look odd. SO have to tweak that. Other than that, I am really happy with the way it turned out. Plus it goes with the set.

Thanks for the feedback!

Fidi - I know I was dead set on using both pieces of artwork in the beginning. But after everyone's feedback, I chose to go a different route and use different artwork for each of the movies. The artwork I had in the beginning is now being used for the 1976 version. I then found some art for Kong Skull Island. For the 1933 KK, I used some commercial art I found. Overall, the layout is the same for all 4 titles.

I am glad you guys have pushed me out of my comfort zone and do something that is not cookie-cutter. Now I just need to add the synopsis and bonus and see how it looks.

But rather the front isn't.

You should like the result of course so you can do whatever you prefer. But your front is really far away from being working. As it was mentioned before Curt made a good suggestion how it could work with your two original artworks. Why you don't give it a try?

The back is working much better now

by magnumrulz » Thu Jun 27, 2019 9:50 pm

Working with option A. I like it much better. I adjusted levels on front background, artwork and title. Changed up the back layout. I keep looking at other covers to get ideas and then looked at stuff I had saved on my computer and found something to work. I like the layout much better now.

Why you used not the layout from ct. I think this was a realy good examples how you used your cover made interesting and it would looks better. Sorry, your examples works not for me.
