Nice work Zungam!

Although i agree with the comments above, i have a few from my own.

Front:
-All the text is white, i can't say i don't like it, but i'm curious to know how it looks when you use a colortype of brown or black or ..., from the arm of the ape.
Actornames and 'of the' in the TT would be an option for color change.

Spine:
- Spine is oke, don't know if you have some in your mind to add.

Back:
- Personally, i am not so keen on the screenbar. I would use something 'film-related'. For example, blend the pics nicely in the rail of the bridge (you have used it above, apes are walking on it).
- Maybe you could add something forest-related. I would use the view of Caesar from the treetops on the bridge and town (you need to download the Telescreen and get a screencap from there).
- I miss one ape, a Gorilla. I think you have to try to add this ape.

For now, no further comments/ideas.

Good luck! :thumb:

Felipe: Agree. Think it looks better, went with the whole quote to fill in the top space.

JC: Have sorted out the light issue now.

Thanks Kernie, but i followed JR's advice and took a screenshot from trailer 3 (I think it was).

quilva: Yeah, thanks man. Needed to make my own though, cause yours didn't fit in the wide, narrow space :)

Segunda: A lot of good suggestions there. Actually I did try a brownish, grunged TT (the original one) but I think the white fits better, especially when I've done so much of the back in white.
Thinking it will look a bit messy with pictures in the rail etc. But i might change the stills frame. Thinking of making a hard white frame with seperators between each picture. The gorilla is there now, thanks for pointing that out :)

And again; thanks for all the comments!

Looking good! I'm not too keen on the stills though. Would prefer if they had a bit more action in them.

i personally like the stills like that, but i agree that there could possibly be a bit more action. try using some stills to create scenes behind the characters.

Ok, changed the back a bit. Better or worse?

This is what a wip thread should be abaout, although I tink you should write the quote in some similar fort to the title, not the "londg F and long L", sorry my English sucks :)

Still feel there needs to be more action in the stills.

I'd like to see a bit more of the heads of the guys in the stills if possible. I think as you already have the apes on the bridge on the back you could try something else in the stills, such as when they first break into the lab building and are all standing on the upper floor around the bannister.

Font for tag might work a bit better if wasn't so bold, the way it is just doesn't quite work right for me, but that's just a personal taste thing nothing else.
This cover is turning out great.

Lowered the stills a bit so their heads show more. I've also added some white dividers and a picture of Caesar. The apes behind him is not from the bridge, they're from a roof top in the city. You can see the "spears" in their hands.

Since there's a lot going on on the top picture, I'm thinking the stills could be a bit more calmed down. Think I've found some nice pictures with a lot of feel in their facial expressions. I've dropped the long letters in the quote, and it looks better imo. Also added Caear on the spine, think he deserves that... ;)

Looks much better now. But maybe have a different picture of caeser on the spine as you are already using that image on the back.
