Custom Indiana Jones cover set (1 Viewer)

[Nick T Robot]

Very cool. I'm just glad they didn't change the title in the actual movie. If you make a Brown on that matches the Widescreen set, I'm printing on out!

I also like the light beige better. It's the same as the old WS laserdisc covers. Besides, the front covers are very dark already, so the lighter background enhances the design, IMHO.

This is actually more of a generic coverart question, but since I like both the original and Matt's covers, I was wondering how easy it would be to make a reversible cover. I know that some anime (the many Gundam series, for instance) use two different versions of cover art, which means you can choose which one you think looks cooler.

Anyhoo, how easy would it be to take the original covers and line them up in a printer so you could print this art on the blank side? Or do you think that's something better left to the pros? Just throwing the idea out there.

ETA: Which printer is the best kind to use for printing coverart? Bubblejet, inkjet, or laser?

updated: added Raiders cover #2 (using Indy/whip poster) and dvdcoverart links for all 3 covers so far

Love the 2nd Raiders cover. Shouldn't the spine picture match the cover? Other than that nit, very nice indeed!

 

[Ric Easton]

They're great, Matt!

I really love the second Raiders cover. I'll use them if you come up with a cover for the 4th disc. Maybe you can make an aternate version that includes features from BB 5th disc. Then folks with the extra disc can put it in a single size 2 disc case.

Very, very nice. I've printed a few covers from dvdcoverart.com before, however, the print quality/resolution always looks very similar to "crap." Is there any way to print so the resolution looks more similar to the high resolution images uploaded onto the Internet, such as the Indiana Jones covers Matt was nice enough to share?

Thanks!

Doug:

fixed!


Ric:

I'm definitely doing something for the 4th disc; we'll see about the BB one


Scott:

If the covers you've printed from dvdcoverart.com don't look almost as good as the studio originals, then 95% the problem is with your printer or setup. we have very stringent quality control for what gets posted on the site.

these Indy covers will look as good as the studio originals given the right printer, I guarantee it! =)

 

[Matt DeVillier]

LC cover posted, bonus disc coming soon!

 

[Joey B]

They look great!

Here's a stupid question, where'd you get the UPC labels? My DVDs don't have UPC codes on them.

Just curious.

Very cool covers...

If you want the original desing with the name Raiders of the Lost Ark, just download this picture and print: http://www.theindyexperience.com/ima..._alt_cover.jpg

 

[Matt DeVillier]

I made them up using the UPC on the box set itself (you'll notice all the covers have the same UPC)

 

[Lyle_JP]

I don't suppose you could make a Temple of Doom cover with the One-Sheet Style B artwork (you're using the One-Sheet Style A art on that one)?

It would be the same as the the art found on the laserdisc cover.

Lyle,

I had planned to, but I haven't been able to find a nice high-quality version of that poster. I had scanned my LD jackets before I sold them, but my ToD one didn't come out very well. I'm going to try and find a nice jacket on ebay though if I can for a few $$, and if that works out I'll definitely post a cover with the one-sheet B artwork

matt,

one question i've been wanting to ask.....

what printer and type of paper do YOU use?

and do you diffwrent paper for the inserts?

 

[Matt DeVillier]

I use a HP Deskjet 940c and epson A4 photo-quality paper (light gloss). Just about any photo-quality inkjet printer and any paper that's better than regular copy paper will be fine.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Excellent Matt!

Thanks for continuing to provide a valuable service at DVDcoverart.com.

I thought someone might find these useful if they own the Best Buy extra DVD for Raiders. I'm no graphic artist, but it came out good enough to suit me. I was hoping someone with more skill than me might post something better. But I guess this will have to do. I use them for DVD Profiler and for my DVD case. Nothing special. But maybe someone will find them useful.

Why the hell can't the studios hire some of these guys contributing to dvdcoverart.com? These covers are far and away superior to what the studios have ever done.
