Bad Boys

[Bunny Dojo]

That smoky cool Miami feeling is pretty darn attractive.

Why not keep just Lawrence on the front, put Smith's face as the spine image, then make a cover for Bad Boys II where Smith is on the front and Lawrence's face is the spine image? That seems like the easy way out.

Maybe move the title text up a bit on the front and/or make it bigger and/or add "A Michael Bay Film" to fill in that white space? Making it a bit bigger seems like a good possibility, since right now Martin Lawrence is over-powering it so much. Maybe you could even go so far as to see how it looks HUGE so that a little bit of the text is actually behind Martin Lawrence's head?

To just have Lawrence on the front for BB and Smith on the front for BB2 was the idea... but bad boys II isn't avalible on blu-ray yet, and don't have any release date. So that kinda suck. Seems that a lot of the guys prefer both Lawrence & Smith on the front, and to some point i can agree that it's Bad Boys, not Bad Boy. But i like it with just Lawrence.

The TT will probably be changed to some heavier font, and bigger.. Will try out your suggestion

[Bunny Dojo]

Ah, I didn't realize BBII isn't out on Blu-ray yet, seems like the perfect title for the format.

You're right about the images being tight, nothing fits too great. The best suggestion I can make is to build a composition using this image:

...so that Smith is a bit behind Lawrence. It's not perfect, but at least they're looking in the same direction, the camera angle is about right, etc.

A quick example:

[Relocator]

I like the font you have currently... Futura Light? It's great.
Also, everything about your cover so far is great. And yes, I agree that Will should be there somewhere. Bunny Dojo's suggestion might work, not sure about the explosion/car... it might be nice to keep it somewhat clean and free of other objects. Just keep it the guys.
Your cover though, if it works it works

I'd really be curious to know what effects you did on Martin to make him look so... interesting. Dodging? Burning? Multiple copies of him with different Blending Modes? I'm curious

Martin is 4 different layers, with different hue/saturation and such And also some brushes & gradients!

Ok, so this is an attempt with both guys.... Hmm, don't know if I like it =/ what do you guys think?

I'm thinking this is a great improvement!

[JollyRoger]

Me too I think you can move Smith a bit to the left and down, so that he's a bit more part of the cover, and not just part of the edge of the action.

[sauron]

I preferred it how you had before. When i first saw it i actually went wow!

Love the colours.

The TT worked better how it was before, gave it a simplistic look and worked well with the colours.

Think you should go back to how you had it first, just Lawrence on the front is fine everyone knows its bad boys and will smith is in it. Like it has been said before you can have Smith on the front for Bad Boys 2 when it's released on Blu Ray.

[felipe-11]

I think I preferred the first one too. But if you decide to go with this one you should move Smith like JollyRoger said. Also I'm not diggin the TT, the font is ok but the texture/color isn't working I think. Maybe you could use the same style as the first TT but with this font.

Would this help?...
