Bit more..

Worked on the intensity of the flames on the front and finished the TT (I think), added stills, and moved things 'round a bit. How do you like this?

This is shaping up really well buddy! It looks great. How about having the synopsis paper burning at the bottom?

Worked some more on the synopsis area; think it's better.

How does this look?

I had a problem with that version, namely that there seemed to be no source of the fire/flare.

I think I like it better now. I do believe I nailed the burning edge effect of the synopsis area. I had to cut the synopsis a little shorter, and moved the book author name to the front; altho there's something bugging me about the special features box. Is it just me?

Does this work (actor's and author's name(s)?

And spine is done, I think

Very nice work! I think you should brighten it up a little under Emily Cox's name, so it is clearer to read. The spine looks really good. I like the synopsis on fire. And I think what is bothering you about the features box is it is maybe the colour? Would it look better de-saturated?

Looks great buddy :)

special features in two columns that are left aligned inside a box always looks strange to me, so i usually end up handling it like a text block and center align it.
you can separate them by a dot, dash or a lil Viking shield :lol:

as for the color. honestly, id go with the map color instead of the orange from your title. it would also make the fire stand out more and maybe change the legal text beneath it, in a light brown color like part of the map too. if you like the yellow/orange, by all means keep it :D
