Very Impressive !!!
Feel bad for mentioning it, but was wondering if you had given any thought of when it's all finished putting a spanning title on the spines?

Looking great Kernie, only thing I can say from the previews is that the new font replacing the Univers looks a bit harder to read, but I trust the full size version will be OK. Can't wait to see this set finished!

I think it's just the preview. The full size cover seems very readable (at least, to me).

Glad you like the set, but I don't think I'll be doing a spanning spine version for this set, sorry. :(

Here's Season 3. Any thoughts?

If it seems like these are good to go, I think I'm going to make some quick matching labels and start uploading the first three seasons, and gradually upload the remaining years as I finish them. :D

I think you should drop the opacity of the glow on the back, Andrew. Otherwise good to go :)

Honestly? I think it's fine. We could split hairs back and forth on this cover, but I think it's coming down to personal preference at this point. Unless you see somewhere where the glow is really distracting or obtrusive.

Maybe I'm getting a little burnt out on making collage after collage for these covers, but I only have a few days left of summer break to finish these, and I'd like to speed up and wrap up all 7 seasons before next week. I've already spent much more time on these than I had anticipated, and a part of me just wants them to be done. I hope that's understandable. :D :D :D

If nobody downloads these after all this work, I'm going to be depressed... :( :( :(

What if someone downloads and leaves a unhappy smiley? :rolleye:

These are turning out really good. I'd grab them if I owned the DVDs. Some reason though the back collage for Season One isn't as impressive as the others... No offense, but there's something about it... can't put a finger on it. Not as vibrant as the others maybe? :shrug:

I think it's because the imagery that was available for Season 1 sucked donkey nuts. It could also be the blue is a cooler color than the red and the green. Again, I honestly think that it's fine the way it is.

I don't want to seem ungrateful for the suggestions, or that I'm unwilling to make changes, but really, fellas... are these major issues with the covers, or are we just nitpicking to nitpick at this point?

I just want to keep moving forward at this point, but if there is something terribly wrong, please let me know... :D

On an unrelated note, has anything been done about the dude who's been downloading more than his daily limit and leaving unhappy smilies? I know I'm not alone, but he's left a number of them on mine as well and I'll be very unhappy if he's downloading everything to upload elsewhere. Of course, then I'll be happy, because we can now ban him very quickly!

Honestly I'm quite happy with these. I'm no master designer but these are amazing imo. I've never seen a set quite like this, i'm stoked to have these on my shelf. I hope at some point in the future you'll find time to make a matching set for angel and that would truly be an amazing set.

If you haven't already pm bazzah or fubster you should they'll look into in right away, I don't think that's cool someone posting unhappy smilies. If you ya don't like something don't download it.

I honestly don't care about the unhappy smilies, if someone doesn't like a cover, that's their opinion. I honestly think this dude is just picking smilies at random to get the comment box to go away.

What I am a little concerned about is this guy's supposed excessive downloading. Last time we saw something like that, a lot of our covers ended up on other sites without our permission. But, if that happens, Fubs and Bazz can catch the thief pretty quickly these days! :D

P.S. Glad you like the covers, and yes... I would like to do an Angel series at some point. Maybe even Doctor Horrible... but not Firefly... SXS already did an amazing cover for it and I can't even hope to top it! :D

Front, back and spines look good kernie, it really is down to personal preference at this point. great set m8.

I'm not blowing smoke btw, there are still very few who put this much effort into covers, most dont have the passion for it.

Thanks, venome! I appreciate the kind words! :D :D :D

I've uploaded covers and labels for Seasons 1 through 3 to the gallery and are available in one of my MD albums here: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I'm moving on to Season 4 tonight, a season in which good imagery becomes much more abundant... :D

Also, I'll upload "thick spine" versions once all 7 standard cases are finished.

Please leave some comments if you download them! :D :D :D
