I have to say this, for me these are some of the best cover designs I have seen in a long while. Clear as ice and as crisp as snow, your skills have taken the bar up another notch :-@

Wow, that you kylumi for those really kind words! I always put so much work into making my covers look perfectly crisp, even at full view... It's really nice to have that extra work recognized!

Hi guys!

I wanted to test my new layers GIFs and see how they work on here. Let me know what you all think!

(I see the animation doesn't look great unless clicked to see at full size, but that's just fine with me)

Works good buddy, anything wider than 675px has to be scaled to fit, course it will popup to full size but the preview could on like a GIF get kind of odd depending on content due to the scaling, it's unavoidable.

Thanks guys!

And yea, I figured it had to do with that CT... I noticed a while back that if I didn't want scaling here, I would post my images at 650px or less. It makes sense that with a GIF, that scaling would have a different effect.

Hey all!!!

Here is my latest design from a competition over at HiRes, Jurassic World.

The final cover changed a bunch after I submitted it; I found improvements were needed to strengthen the design. I've included a GIF to show the changes from my comp submission to the final cover.







Oh, and I've also included another layers GIF!





Enjoy!

Hi All!

Here is my cover from another HiRes challenge... Catch Me If You Can

My cover and it's matching label are now in the gallery.



Here is another GIF, but this one is giving an idea of how each panel was designed using inspiration from the opening title sequence and first scene of the movie. All vectors on the cover are hand made from screenshots, then re-arranged and adapted for the cover.

NOTE: GIFs don't display well by default, so just click the image below to open the pop-up window to view



Finally, I have also added a link to the full video of the opening of the movie... For those interested in seeing it.

Opening Credits

Cheers!!  :-O
