Hey everyone!
Here is a little competition designed to stretch your artistic thought processes.
We are asking you to design a wholly original DVD/Blu-Ray cover without the use of Poster Art………Have you got what it takes?. Yes, of course you have, so come and join us in this Unique Cover Design Competition which is open to ALL-COMERS!

As this is the first ever competition of its type you will be allowed to choose your own movie genre topic. Horror, Drama, War, Thriller, Action, Comedy and Science Fiction, your choice is limitless.

The Rules are simple too……

I think that is the same as rule #3. You may use unrelated photographic imagery.

This looks like it will produce some interesting covers...I cannot wait to see what everyone comes up with

[dumbfolk]

I can't use "still" images for front to make my own art?

[kylumi]

Thats right dumbfolk m8....you cannot
You may only use "stills" for the back of your design

[bazzah]

Try to use your imagination a little for the front, you don't always need stock art. For example, I designed a cover for Valkyrie using no pictures at all for the front, just a couple of simple designs. There are lots of covers out there like this. To give you an idea, if it is a religious movie, design the front around a crucifix! The possibilities are endless

[kylumi]
