Showcase

Thanks guys!

Trist... It will take a while for me too. Right now I own all of them on DVD and plan to just use these blu-ray cases for those discs until IK can get them all converted.

Good start, seems like good logic to me as well.

[bpmford]

Thanks CT!

Hey all,

Got the labels finished... was a nightmare trying to get the layout to work, but nicely quick to complete the rest once it was done. Each one has the poster plus two of the screens. It also incorporates both horizontal and vertical sections to flow with a rotatable disc.

In the gallery soon!


Years 2000 to 2011:

I see you have some new covers in the Gallery Brad, very nice

[bpmford]

Hello my friends!!!

So, this has been a long time waiting... I've wanted to get back to designing covers for a while, and now I finally am.

With that, I have 3 completely new designs that are now in the gallery. Each one has a matching label, Beastly coming soon.



Dumbo


This cover was made for my girlfriend as her favourite Disney movie. It took a very long time to make, as it required me to vectorize 12 detailed character images from the movie.



The Mist (2 Versions)



This is my all time favourite horror/suspense movie. I started this cover in 2011, but could't get my ideas to work. Now, I am so happy to be done it! I couldn't decide on which TT I liked better, so I made two versions.



Beastly


This cover was also started in 2011, but it never made it into any of the WIP forums. I had only the TT designed, but couldn't think of somewhere to go after that. The imagery on the cover, including the tree-like veins coming out of the TT, the 'embrace' and 'suck', the cross on the back, as well as the screens frame... All of them came directly from Alex's tattoos in the movie. Each tattoo piece was vector traced from this image, then re-shaped to fit the cover.



P.S.: Sorry for the previous replies, it seems all my images have disappeared. I will fix that when I get a chance!

[Wrench]

Nice looking covers Brad

[VincentLupo]

Fantastic Brad.  Good to see some new work from you.

[Pico]

Good to have you back m8, very nice covers, i love the layout on the back of "The Mist".

[massi]

Good to see you back, B.

Just saw these at the gallery which made a good surprise seeing that who uploaded them. And three very different layouts there. Very nice!

[bpmford]

Thanks Massi and Pico, I appreciate the comments!

Hi All!!

This is my Phone Booth cover from a competition over at HiRes. When I posted the showcase there, I included a blurb about my design, as well as some images that I used when making it... So, I shall do so here as well!!.......


The hardest portion of the cover was using Puppet Warp to change the perspective of the street image to match that of the booth for the front design (this fix isn't really noticed in the final design, but I felt better knowing it was correct). The spiral of words on the front had to be done line-by line. For those who don't know the movie, this is Colin's main speech from the film. Plus, all my text on the front cover needed to follow the same spiral to mimic the focusing of the gun's aim right at Colin's head. The text is barely readable, but that is intentional, as I din't want it to cause a distraction on the front cover. Rather, it is there just to add a subtle addition to the imagery on the front. To go along with that spiral I used a few other speeches from the movie on the rest of the cover; Since much of the film revolves around conversations and talking, I thought it would be important to incorporate some of the dialogue into the cover.

All the glass on the front of the cover came from the one image shown in the preview (the screens came from the other, less detailed one). Because there was only so much glass in that image, I had to manipulate and adjust and re-use some of them to cover all four corners, while not showing any noticeable repeats. A blur and re-texture effect was also placed under the glass to simulate a slight distortion of the imagery and text underneath, just as glass sometimes does. A similar effect was also used on the bullet streams on the back.

The image of Forest and the other cop on the back needed to be assembled from two separate screenshots I took of the movie. This is because I wanted to use the entire set of lights on the police car, but the whole thing wasn't in frame when he was holding his gun up. The film dialogue underneath them is taken from that exact moment in the movie.

Oh, and because I am so OCD, the gun Kiefer is holding on the back is the exact one used in the film, as are the bullets near the bottom. The Phone handset and cord are both actual ones used in most phone booths (my previous set-up for that section only used a old style curly cord).

This was by far the most intricate cover I made to date. I've never used so many layers, Photoshop effects, masks on top of masks or custom image assembly on one cover. Plus Photoshop kept glitching, and changing some of my images on me, adding white squares to random parts of the cover.

Okay, that's all for this one!

Later!

P.S.: There is one little secret on the cover, that I think hardly anyone will notice... Only someone with a keen eye and a knowledge of this movie will catch it!!
