Ok, so I've lost my old PSD file in a PC crash... With it went all my work on the various elements on the back (including several cutouts/custom made objects in separate PSD files) :( Makes me think.... I never had a crash with the Mac yet... :whistle: (knock-on-wood)

Anyways - this is my old DVD box collection for all 8 films in the franchise:

... And this is my new version, which I was forced to start all over again.:

Front and spine so far, just the very basic start. Pretty plain.Thinking it could be a help for new members, I've decided to 'document' the progress often. Please, if some technique or term, or? - don't hesitate to ask!

I'm making this to be used with the 25mm spine Blu-ray Viva Elite multicase.

Thoughts, suggestions?

I like it JR, the glass lenses could be a bit brighter maybe. I have some great potter objects for all the movies, will hook you up :)

Thx guys!

I know it's still VERY plain looking, but Rome wasn't built in a day. It'll get there. Eventually. ;) Still a lot of work to be done on the very basic lenses I made for the glasses, high lighting, and also some more work on the texture. I'm unsure if I wanna use golden clasps for this version like I did on the DVD one... Does it need it??

- Will be looking forward to those 'objects' V :)

Think I prefer it without the clasps.

Final update tonite... It's way too late here... *yawns*

I switched Harry's wand with the one I got from V; much higher resolution than the simple toy wand I used before - thx bro! :cheers:
