Does ace have a template available here? Id love to try to make my own. His/hers look so professional like a studio made them. If you are reading this thank you Ace for all you've done. :D Or any similar templates would be amazing, thanks.

The first question that comes to my mind is : do you have Photoshop Or Paint Shop Pro or any other things to play with?
GIMP is free yes but very very very............ :compwindow:

She has Photoshop because I've given her a template before and she did really good in doing covers with it. :)

I just find out what studio distributed the movie in question (Imdb or bluray.com), then find the appropriate template. If it ain't in the design assets I simply make it from the best resolution picture of a bluray back I can find. Loads of logos and sh!t on the site help that - otherwise I just request - and people here are really helpful! :)

I did really good??? ahhh thats so sweet of you. I thought they were crap. The only one I sort of liked was totally spies, but to embarrassed to share. Because you all are like the actual professionals. And yes I have photoshop.

I made a copycat version of Aces using the Lionsgate Summit 2016 (thanks stampe) and Chouettes template. I spent the majority of the day making this. Let me know what you think. I'm really struggling with the gradient on the back. I can get it to work if I use a single color to transparent. But if I try to use 2 colors it will not cover the photo. And I can't seem to get the spine right. :Confused: Any suggestions appreciated. Also not sure if I added the photo correct, let me know. Thanks again guys, I truly appreciate every single one of you! :love:

Very nice effort!
The picture on the front looks a little squished (she looks a little fat).
The synopsis could benefit from being left aligned IMO.
