Seing the two sides together like this, I begin think the back looks a little busy compared to the front? :chin: Perhaps lose the 'Watch it anytime' part along with the arrows to give the elements above a little more room to shine? :)

The new cracks on the front don't work for me. :(

I think I prefer your other crack by itself, but perhaps a little darker? One other thought.. If you slightly decreased the redish color cast from the artwork it might brighten up the front some? Something like this maybe? Other than those two suggestions, I really love the front.. It's amazing. :cheers:

Is this any better JR?

This all-star pairing is definitely producing all-star results! You two are really creating a great cover here. :)

Just to further unite things...

Clint, maybe you could use the same color for your tagline as Michelle used on the "Watch it anytime" text?

If you want to include the "An Animated Avatar," maybe Michelle could make that the back quote instead? And maybe in that same tag line font? Using the shorter quote and smaller text size could give you a little more breathing room, while re-using the tagline font would further streamline everything.

Maybe you can use the back images' rock border around a spine image?

Your partnership is looking outstanding so far. It's some of my favorite design work I've seen from both of you, at the top of a very long list. :)

Here is what the current review looks like using the same font as the tagline? Any Better?

Stupid to loose the watch it... text imo. We are and will try hard won't we Mich, but anyone that isn't happy with out final outcome (as you can't please everyone) can make they're own cover for the movie instead :)

Thanks for the suggestions Tim ol' pal, the text is actually the same colour but because of the background difference it needs adjusting to make it appear to match better. Liking the spine idea and i really appreciate the constructive comments, i'll keep doing my best, thank you too NR, i appreciate your appreciation lol and to all others that like the cover, we have worked hard so far and will continue to strive to perfection, if that exists :P

Yeah, must agree with you, Clint - it looks weird without that 'watch it' text line. :)
