Well I know everyone and their brother has done this cover but I've always wanted to put my own spin on it. This started out as a collab with Moviemonster but for various reasons it didn't work out and we decided to do a different cover so I thought I'd put this thru the WIP.

I've put a lot of time into the front and really I'm pretty happy with it. I've got a good start on the back and hope to post it later this weekend.

So far...

Thanks Daniel...

I'm using regular images on the back not vectors so hopefully it will all flow...

I love the concept, the illustrations are great, but the type simply doesn't work. I would say lose that bevel/emboss on the TT and the gradient and make it something more solid, so it matches the illustrations. I'd also look into changing the font for the names and make them a little less monotonous, maybe make their first names smaller or just have their last names...

This is a great start like, the images. Have to agree with felipe about the TT, doesn't feel right atm.

Yeah I fussed over the TT for quite a while. This cover went through several major changes.. I couldn't really find the right 'feel' so I took the TT from a poster and made it into a vector.

I'll revisit the TT and actors names and see what I can do...Tx guys.!

I think I'd like to see this without the bevel thing for the TT and the actor's names in the same font before choosing what text looks best :)

Great front! :)
