Wow man, these look great, I think this is really different compared to the covers you usually make (not they look bad, I love your 300 and departed ;p). It fits the movie perfect! Great job on this one

Both look very good, but my choice to print out would be the purple one.

Although I highly prefer the yellow clean version, I do love the layout Tim

Ah, I definitely grew fond of that one too. I even go back to the first post's design.

I'm sure I'll give in a month or two from now, make the other finalizing changes, and upload the clean yellow one as well. :lol2:

It looks like Chef Joe, ironwulf, and I are outnumbered by green voters.

Along with looking pretty nice, it provides a tenuous nod to the film's Christmas-time setting, which is enough to sway me over to going with the popular choice. A few more final adjustments, and it's been uploaded.

Thanks again for all of the encouragement and insight along the way, guys!

I hope you'll enjoy the result.

The Above etc...

That's a cutting border / credit area I started using a while back.

I have the covers available on my own site too, and sometimes I'd hear from people who aren't familiar enough with graphics programs to add that tiny border on designs with white backgrounds for a straight cutout.

The text is just a disclaimer asking people not to redistribute the cover without asking. My site doesn't have HiRes' security measures, so ragamuffins would occasionally grab a cover and upload it elsewhere without crediting me or letting me know. The uploading still happens, but they've been mostly respectful in keeping the border with my name intact, which is enough for me.

And thanks, I'm glad you like the cover.

And to Clint too, of course!

Excellent work Timmy

And I think that the border is a mighty fine idea... Something to think about! Hmmm
