It should imo - but as this is your cover - you should do as you please...

It is a custom cover after all. You can do what you want. I'd leave it off if it was my cover. I've never been crazy about the credit block but you get so used to seeing it that it seems out of place when it's not there.

Here's a quick preview of the back with a credit block. I saved a second version of my PSD so I can easily go back if it looks weird. Had to slide some elements around and shrink Megan a bit (nobody wants less Megan...

), but I don't really mind the new placement. Although I typically don't like when nearly half of the back cover is taken up with legal info and credit blocks (some retail DVD's are really bad about this... like the
Watchmen Blu-Ray, which I think is just plain ugly).
What do you think, credit block or no? Side-by-side comparison provided to help you decide...

without credit block, less is always more.

looking awesome and the credit block helps finish off the legal section for me. On the front the apple looks a little small in proportion with the hand in the desk

Yeah, I know... just pretend it's a baby apple.
I'll try to fix it, but I don't want it getting too close in size to the skull (which, for those questioning the proportion of the skull, just tell yourself it's one of those voodoo shrunken heads).

Here's another update... I think the back is nearly finished, some minor tweaks here and there. Enlarged the skull and apple on the front just a tad, hopefully they seem a bit more in proportion than before. I'm not really going to sweat it if they're not perfectly to scale. And I've decided to keep the credit block, I think it looks fine and most people seem to agree that it should be there...
Now I need to decide what to do with that "dead space" on the front. I'm thinking maybe hanging a few graded tests on the chalkboard, or maybe some missing posters for the boys she killed, or a poster for Adam Brody's band (although I have no idea what the name of it is or if there's a logo). Or maybe I'll just bring back the "Hell Yes" from the poster art... lots of ideas, can't commit to anything. Anybody have any other ideas? I'm open to suggestions...
