Don't forget to add Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and replace the DTSHD-MA logo with a TrueHD one. Did you try making spidey smaller and placing him above the pictures on the back instead on over lapping them? I think a smaller spidey would allow you to add the rest of the special features. Maybe add a pic of Venom too (if it fits)

This is looking great btw, maybe we'll see matching covers for the first two movies????? ;)

Gets better every time :) ... Only one thing to suggest maybe try changing the picture of Kirsten Dunst on the back at it is a lot brighter than the other and stands out more?

I think spidey's fine overlapping the pictures and I think he's the perfect size... don't change a thing with the size and placement of the Spidey image (although maybe two more interesting stills would be better, maybe the villains instead of one of that boring Mary Jane that shows too much empty background space?).

I still don't think the coloring is working on the 4 stars. My eye goes right to that weird yellow gradient. Why not try them in the metal gradient you have on the tagline?

Also, bump the Bloopers and Photo Galleries text up a bit. There's too much space above them. Use that empty space below that text to help visually indicate that the features are on two separate discs.

I don't think you need the blue gradient behind the legals/specs box. It might just be fine against black. I actually like the blue color, I just think you have a lot of different colors popping up randomly (the yellow stars, the bright red behind the special features header, the blue gradient). Stick within a consistent color scheme, like the dull blue (from the spidey image) and orange (from the background city image) and then use whites, grays, and blacks for text and stuff. I don't think the cover looks bad the way it is now (in fact, it kinds of works somehow), but I'm just suggesting to lessen the amount of arbitrary colors that do not fit the overall color scheme. Does that make sense or am I rambling again?? :shrug:

Either way, it's a hell of a cover and I'm just trying to see it be the best that it can be (as I'm sure you want the same). Keep up the awesome work!! :D :D :D

I like it!!! :D :D :D

But try using non-Peter/Spidey pics for the stills (get some of the other characters in there). You essentially have four different Spidey images (Red Spidey, Black Spidey, Venom, and Peter) all clumped together. Show off the ensemble cast a bit more (Sandman, Jameson, non-Venom Brock, Aunt May, Gwen Stacy, Capt. Stacy).

I hope I'm not in the minority, but I really like the more limited color palette!!

Haha, after you pointed that out, I realized that the screenshots were laughably non-varying.

How's this?

I'm really liking this one, very different from the rest. I agree with kernie about the preview pics though, too many spidey's/peter's

I'm cool with it... maybe brighten the levels on some of the stills, they're a bit dark, but I like 'em.

I agree with felipe-11, I'm really liking this one as well. Like he said, very different but still in keeping with the tone of the film and it's promotional material.

One minor nitpick and then I think you've got a finished product on your hands... in the tagline, there should be an apostrophe in "Spidey's back," as it's short for "Spidey is back" and maybe add an exclamation point after "better than ever!" Other than that, I'm lovin' it! :D :D :D

I really appreciate all of the help on the cover, and as well as encouragement and the addition to the Contributor Status, I will try to get some covers in a bit more frequently, thanks guys.
