Thank you all Which font buddy?

Titel!

Looking good overall, nice controlled palette.

I would be interested in seeing some different imagery on the back, it feels like the pig is perhaps overused.

For me the title on the front is a little confusing, it almost starts to feel like the film is called "Become Jigsaw"

Agree with Sauron on the legals over image especially because the rest of back layout is so spaced out, this bit then becomes very cramped.

Some more detail orientated things; I think at the moment the chain links feel a bit plastic, I imagine they're dull because they're supposed to be rusty, but without that heavy flaky rust texture I think they could do with some more intense specular highlights, and also the front could perhaps have some more bloodiness a-la the back, maybe even some skin on the hook or something?

The TT on the spine is blending in a bit too, I think it needs a lighter colour, something more akin to the front than the back.

Thanks all.

As above the TT is original artwork, just modified a little.

The legals are just from the template (just a placement) I was going to reduce them, change the colour and have them fit next to the back character.

The screenshots are quite sparse for this title, and I wasn't 100% if some of them were from the older movies, or this movie. That's why I chose the different mask images. I will have a look again for screenshots, as I too wasn't sure about this.

I can remove the tagline if it is confusing

I have done quite a bit of work on the chain to make it rusty, but I think there is too much shine on it (giving it the plastic look) I will work on that. I like the skin idea too, I will see what I can do.

The spine TT is again just a placement. I haven't started the spine yet

I think it this case it was called for

I like your new glasses, Baz!

As for your cover I agree with most of the points mentioned.
I like the idea of placing the legals on the right of the main character of your back. So all texts will be centered between the character and the right border of the back.

For the stills I think you should use some pig-free images and I'm sure there will be some available. It looks like it would be a normal stills bar if you put back the small puzzle parts to the SF area; at least I think so. I f I'm not wrong you should definately keep it that way - only with some different images.

And I'd add some more drame to the back image using some levels adjustments.

[bazzah]

Thanks Fidi

I have reworked the chains, removed the tag 'Become' and added some skin to the hook. I am not sure about the dripping blood on the skin though, it doesn't look right. So I will have to work some more on that.

So how is this for the front?
