Be gentle. It's been a while, since I last made a spanning spines set.

Anyways, this is what I have for the spines so far. Will adjust them later, once fronts are done.
Front layouts will take from my Goodfellas & A Bronx Tale covers.
Will see about a back template to use for all 3 covers.

I'm so happy you are considering making the covers for this amazing series! I'll be sitting here watching this W.I.P. in anticipation. :D

Started on the back template, and background texture, and thought I'd bring some of the texture on to the spines. At which time I thought I try to sse how the spines would work on a shelf. Now this preview ain't 100% accurate - but you get the idea. They should fit nicely on a shelf once printed.


Not ready to show the back (will be the same for all 3 covers, since it's the same synopsis/features/specs aso.; only the fronts will differ. I have some idea for them, and have the template with texture and framing ready. More on that later.

So, while I like the layout on the back, sort of. Something is bugging me. Can't quite pinpoint it. Is the red color from the TT too stark?

Something of note. The backdrop is a stock image of the cityscape of New Jersey; couldn't find a suitable millennium picture, so I hope they didn't build new landmark skyscrapers since then. Luckily it is somewhat hidden behind the quotes, lol

I will use this back on all 3 covers, since all text is from the slip back of the boxed set, so it covers everything. Credits set with Famed, of course. Thank you Mr. Gengler :cheers:

Is it the quotes that are bothering you? They are very big.

Maybe less red and smaller quotes? Wasn't planning on a b/w cover set, lol

I think if you keep the red box on the back tone it down a bit or one the newer version it kinda makes the red frame on the front stand out too much so maybe change that but nice to see it comingg along :)
