New Line Home Video Template

Postby stardragon9 » Aug Wed 29, 2018 5:52 pm

Hello everyone!  Sorry for being slow on covers again, everything just seemed to snowball at once.  Anyways, I am looking to make a cover set for movie released by New Line Cinema and I need a little help.  New Line has been released by several different companies in the past (Media, RCA Columbia, New Line and now Warner Bros) and I am having a tough time deciding which template to use.  Here are the samples of each template I would like to use (please disregard the synopsis on the backs, I just used what I had in my templates before).  Let me know which one you like, or if you have any suggestions for enhancing them.  Thanks.  

Media inspired:


Just for reference, the cover is based on this vhs cover:


RCA Columbia version:

It looks like we prefer Warner Bros by an overwhelming margin. :D

If I may Star, I feel you have too much dead space at the back, unless that is the effect you want. If not, you may want to set you leading a bit higher for your synopsis. Also, it would be better if you remove the hyphenation. But this design is very nice, I like it!

Since it is a template the empty space doesn't bother me as I know some movies will use more of it and I think it more important to keep the text consistent across covers. I do think that removing the hyphenation would be a good idea.

Thanks for the advice!  Here is an updated version of the cover:



As for the hyphenated words on the back, I do that in order to keep the words flowing like they would on a traditional vhs cover (blocks to keep it clean).  I think using the photos near the bottom helps to spread the synopsis out just a little better while also getting rid of some of the blank space.  If there are any other suggestions for tweaking this layout, please let me know.  I appreciate all the help.   ;)
