Download Ubl's font collection for the templates. :)

I think I want to see some more pictures on the back before commenting ;)

The blood looks good :Jason:

It's looking good but as you already have a lot of Arnie on the cover, and I understand resources are scarce, but could you use something else on the back where you have him in the jump suit? Like the game show set? You could get a screen shot from the DVD or Blu Ray....And maybe incorporate the SF's into that?

Not overly keen on the blood being under your text, makes it a little hard to read I think, you might be able to slip the blood on the barcode and make it work there instead?

Maybe some kind of border for the stills line?

Keep working it, it's going well :thumb:

Ok guys this is my first cover ever...

Wow! Wish my first cover had looked that good. :)

I agree with Nightrider. I'm not keen on the blood underneath the special feature text, either. It does make it harder to read.

Since this is your first cover, I wouldn't worry about blending your screen images. Instead, try NR's suggestion, and add a border around them. You can even separate each individual picture with a border as well.

I can't remember if this movie was tech*ish or not? If it was, you could find some free tech brushes, to help spice up the back. Have you considered adding a review to the back? It's a good way to fill up space. :)

Perhaps try and box in the SFs?

Ok thanks everyone for the awesome replies :cheers: I tried a few things. I couldnt think what would be the best thing for a border around the special features. Then I was like... CHAINSAW!!!!! I know you cant read the credits and features very well right now, but im going to see the Avenger with my son and its gonna have to wait. Thanks for the suggestion of adding a review wysmommy. I was trying to figure out what to put there. Do you guys think I should put a border around the pics still? Adding some tech did cross my mind but I thought it would look a bit out of place on the cover with all of the blood. I also downloaded all the fonts from UBL and still it says fonts will have to be subsitituted. :cussing: So not sure about that one yet. But besides that I am enjoying this a lot, already got my next ones planned :yellow:

Nice idea, but not sure if the chainsaw blade works to be honest... And the SF's are way too bright. If you decide to keep the blade I would darken the text and get rid of the drop shadow.
