I like the back layout! Looks very good! It seems you and Magnus are sharing artwork... you bastards! :D
Will upload the template tonight bro, and will send you the link later, sorry for the delay.



Erm, didn't I just share with you too??? :P

Nice back layout JR!
The bit between the spine and the pyramids looks a little blank, though (I realise you may be working on this.)
How about continuing a bit of Paris cityscape behind it, or some other location from the film? It doesn't have to be prominent, just a hint of something.

Ok, here's another small update. I imagined something like this but i'm so far from the result i wanted that i'm not sure what to do. This is totally the opposite from what i usually do, so any help will be much appreciated. Everything are just place holders for now.

Make more room in-between the lines in the top quote! You have letters from different lines touching each other! :yikes:

Will fix that, thanks for pointing it. And what do you think about the rest? Paper and compass working? Synopsis font and size?

Btw, i had the link with the template yesterday to give you. Couple of hours and i'll be at home again and will send you a pm with the link ok?

Well the design works... almost. It will be better when you have adjusted the hue and blended it all together.

I like the adventurous synopsis font, altho it does make the text a little less legible than a standard serif font would (like my synopsis font - Palatino LT Std). Keep going! :bandance:

Well, could wait no longer, so did my own template, just missing the bar code. The background not yet finished, still need to peel it a little to match it up with the front.

Spotted some flaws on your covers, boys:

It should be DTS digital surround, Felipe ;)

Adéle Blanc-Sec and Louise Bourgoin in your credits, Magnus - and 'Brief' in your Rating.

Another update.

Messed with the background, to match it up with the front hue and texture.
