The white around the image or is this just a poster you used on the back?

[JollyRoger]

I like your layout - altho I think this title could use some grunge. perhaps fade out DiCaprio, using a grunge brush?

i tried that but I cant make it look good. Brushes is hard ..


This is an update with front and spine

[dumbfolk]

It's too clean, need some dirt, smoke, haze...

Hey Clark!!

I like your cover it's coming along nicely, like the other guys have said your front cover is a little too open, i like the picture, to my taste i would desaturate Dicaprio only, if he's on separate layer, and i would put my TT a little bit bigger, like scqling it so the last D of diamond is around the start of the last actors name, and i would change the color of the text ( all The text) to the same orange you have on the spine (but thats me i like color) or all white thats up to you and like your bonnie and clyde cover i would use the gradient trick on the front and the spine, on DiCaprio start your gradient from is face and pull it to the left going towards the TT, this will fill the emptiness of the picture, make DiCaprios face stand out and your TTs too, if you want to go with some grunge thing i think the way you set up your picture you might loose part of is face to the effect, some times less is more try the gradient, and have fun with it, i like the picture you chose for the front and if by making the TT a little bigger you override the picture a bit lower the TTs a bit his face and shoulder are important not so much the lower part of the picture!!!

tnx. first I like clean covers (guess its because I dunno hove to use brushes )

changed the spine.
desaturated dicaprio and placed a gradient on him. (was it like that you ment?)
also put gradient on the image behind him.
made the TT bigger
changed the fontcolor to two diffrent yellow taken from the front. (not all done yet)

[clark_ckcstm]

finnished all legals.

leo on the back got same effects as the leo on front

[PierreF10]

Yes sir!!

For my taste that one is done too, with the gradient you diminished the importance of the empty space around Leo, very good work i like it, i wont ad anything, nice going!!
