Spider-Man Trilogy 4K

[magnumrulz]

I am working on a Spider-Man set (including all 9 films). I am considering leaving off the special features. The reason is due to there being three separate releases on 4K and a million Blu-Ray releases, all having different bonus materials on them. Kinda sucks for a person to download a cover only to find out the bonus features listed are not the same as what is on their copy. I started off with the intention of making two versions for 4K: 2017 set with BDs and extra bonus disc, and 2022 set with no BDs or bonus.

Even if I drop the bonus, I will still have two versions of the #2 & #3 titles sicne there is a 2.1 cut and a SM 3 Editor's cut.

Here is a sample of Spider-Man 1 4K with bonus and without.

You could make multiple versions, but personally I would add the features but just keeping the common features (for example no special edition features)

For the 4Ks, I think I will do both versions (2017 & 2022). For Blu-Rays, haven't decided yet. Will go back to BluRay.com and look at all the editions available and see if I can come up with a common list if I decide to go that route.

I agree with Baz regarding the special features. I also feel like the front and back need to be more cohesive. Currently, they look like two different covers have been attached together.

Also the top picture doesn't line up with the rest of the images...

For the alignment, I didn't try to line up everything. Many comics are that way and that was what I was going for.

As for the back matching with front, I didn't want it to look like a back cover. But instead more like one of the inside pages. I know it may be odd. But that's me. I like to climb out of the proverbial box and do things a different way that others may not like. But I do appreciate the comments.

I will probably do something with the special features box, even if there are none. At the moment, taking a few days away from them to work on other projects, like making videos for my YouTube channel and catching up on some movies while wife is out of town.

Well, I come up with a generic option without listing any features and trying to keep with the comic book feel. That way, no matter what version you have, this will work.

That is the best idea I think

I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what to do! There are so many variations of the BD. Plus the newest BD release, Blu-Ray.com does not show a pic of the back so have no idea what's on it. But guessing it has nothing as the new 4Ks of the Trilogy and AMSs don't have anything.

I might adjust the rotation of it. Looks kinda off for me after seeing it again.

I'm really not a fan of the synopsis the way they are now and also the SF looks very much out of place on top of a characters face. Imo, you have to get rid of a picture in order to get in the SF's or just leave the SF's out. And as mentioned above, I would recommend doing something with the synopsis, maybe have them inside a box that fits with the rest of the back or something.

You have a lot of great pieces and great enthusiasm built into the design!

As a general suggestion, you might want to give yourself more space around the edges, to make sure none of the logos, etc. are cut off when the final design is printed and placed in a case.

On a themed concept like this, I usually find it helpful to narrow inspiration down to just a few pieces at the start. So, for example, the attached Spider-Man interior page just uses white or pale yellow boxes (or bubbles) for text. Currently, everything is battling for attention, but changing to a more conventional shape/color like that for your synopsis would let the imagery take center stage. The Special Features blurb is probably unnecessary as well, unless you specifically love having it there.

If you could get the colors a little tighter, that would be a great bonus. For example, Peter is quite yellow and Uncle Ben is closer to purple.

I love when you can really sense someone's excitement in a design, so this one is off to a great start.
