very nice, few suggestions:
- loose that ugly 15-logo on the front&spine
- the DVD-logo is too big there too
- the TT lies too high, move it down a little.

Thanks for the feedback...

Unfortunately it's a region 2 cover...we have all these silly age-logos (don't like them much myself but...good old region 2)

Have made the DVD Logos smaller, and have moved the TT, update tomorrow once I get back from work.

Please, when posting a preview of a wip - make it 800 wide. No need for full res here.

I like this cover. The colour tone is working very well - and would improve further by making the pale pinkish pic on the back the same red colour as you have on the front.

I agree with JR about the back image.

I don't like the R2 ratings either that much but they aint as bad a the R4 Aus ratings. Overall this cover looks quite good.

It's the Spec boxes, they are IMHO without a doubt - ugly as sin but having said that some people like 'em.

Looks good so far SM.
I agree with JRs reco, you've missed the end quote marks from the title in the credits m8.

I was thinking the same thing, why do they make it so damn big?
Other than that it looks nice.

I've said it before, I hate the Spec Boxes we get on Region 2 covers, they are oversized and hideous. I'm using one here as it appears on the Dark Water Region 2 cover.

Will be removing most of the white background from the spec box when finished to help it blend in better. Will fix the missing " when I get home and try to match the colours better.

Had to rework the cover, just could not get the two images to match the colour...

So here is the new version...needs working but...comments

ok, i'm aware of the reginons, cause i too belong to a region 2 country... (Hungary)
but you can remove it if you want. i don't wanna give orders, just said that i would erase them completely!:rolleyes: that's enough on the back for me.

ps.: at first glance i guess you could match the colors with a LEVELS and BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST layers...

To be honest I prefer some spec boxes on region 2 covers as I spend so long on Region 1 covers trying to place all the different logos, text, etc. Having the boxed layout makes it so much easier to place everything, granted this box is ugly so I may replace it with a more friendlier box.
