I like the synopsis on fire. And I think what is bothering you about the features box is it is maybe the colour? Would it look better de-saturated?

Still playing around with the actor's names. This may not work - I can return to black text and brighten the background a little as you suggested, thanks.

For this update I went back to almost scratch and redid the burned ground and the fire, think it's better? What do you guys think?

special features in two columns that are left aligned inside a box always looks strange to me, so i usually end up handling it like a text block and center align it.
you can separate them by a dot, dash or a lil Viking shield

as for the color. honestly, id go with the map color instead of the orange from your title. it would also make the fire stand out more and maybe change the legal text beneath it, in a light brown color like part of the map too. if you like the yellow/orange, by all means keep it

I'll return to the back later, and work on the box plus have another look at text colour, thanks

I actually like the scorched look, with the flames on the edge. Well done Jrrr

I like the black one best as it's a lot easier to read and fits "a map" better. The synopsis are total fire now btw, fantastic work with the burning flames

[stampe]

definitely the 2nd one

So, I think front and spine is almost there, unless someone has some final input?

For the back I've worked specifically on the SF box and legal, changing colour slightly on the latter. Can't decide if this is better?

Also added some flame to the edge of the burning synopsis paper; think that part is done.

The black actor names work better, and the features works so much better now too. The Bonus Features text is bothering me though, as it blends in to the background. Maybe a drop shadow on the text will help?

Done.

What about the colour of borders/legal/specs?

[bazzah]

I don't mind them as they are, but you could try something similar to fdd08d

My problem is that I want same colour for both borders (SF box+stills) and specs/legal area. What works in only one of these areas doesn't work in the other, I feel.
The orange is a little harsh on the eye in the legal area, but works on the borders. The cream would work in the legal area, but doesn't really work well for the borders IMO.

That said -if you think it works as is, maybe it's just my over-critical eye that finds a problem...
