Could I get your opinions on whether these are worth continuing with or is it the bin.
I thought this was a decent way of portraying a Japanese 'feeling' without being too over complicated.
They're going to be basic coz of lack of material and having them like this means I only have to find pics good enough to use as screens.


TIA

nice layout bru, i like

and you've got it spot on mate... vey nice work:thumbup:

Excellent work... YES!!! Carry on with them...

Never heard of Toshiro Mifune but these covers work very well Sleepy :)

Wow that looks great sleepy! The front and back is so well balanced and does capture Japanese culture. I haven't seen this however this looks to be the beginning of a quality collection so please continue :)

I have to agree with all the other posts. Well done.

You are lucky that you couldn't find more artwork. It made you delve deeper into that creative spirit of yours and you have created a understated work of art that captures the spirit of Elegance. There is something moving in their look. I can't quite put my finger on it, but they definitely stir an emotion.

On another note, the colors from the collection balance well together. By all means, please continue on the collection.

Very well done sleepyhead, very well done.

Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated guys.

Well ULAM obviously with most of his films made in 50's and 60's some people are not going to know who he is but I've got to say "The Hidden Fortress" is one of my all time fav foreign films, it's showing it's age now and there are no whizz bang special effects or anything of that sort but everytime I watch this the two thieves crack me up..

Edit:
Here's how they're looking so far.
If anyone has a reco for these then please let me know before I do too many

looks absolutely awesome mate, what happend to Seven Samurai, thats my fav!

Here's an update with Seven Samurai included.
Still got to sort out the spine titles position, size etc.
Gonna add Stray Dog, Red Beard and a few others.

The look simply Awesome!

Very nice set sleepyhead.

Very cool looking set Sleepy

Looks amazing sleepy...

Thanks guys - much appreciated.

Small update to the spines - OK? Thought they looked better this way.

Wow! Sleepy, sincerely, this is GREAT! Im a big fan of mifune, seen almost all his movies. 2 big thumbs up for this.BTW, are you uploading this on forum gallery? When done.. i hope you do. if possible seperate cases for each film.keeping my fingers crossed. Keep it up!

I prefer the TT spines lined up in the update the best.

I think the TT`s look so much better in the update too, nice 1

As I said in my previous post, "you have created a understated work of art that captures the spirit of Elegance" and "the colors from the collection balance well together"
I meant it before and I still do.

Very well done sleepyhead, very well done.

Thanks to everyone who's posted feedback and input on these.
I'll start uploading and add a few more to the collection when I get some pics to use.

i think i'm gonna have to go on the hunt for these films sleepy set looks stunning mate, the simplistic aproach works really well. :thumbup:

Thank you

I`m the exact same,lol, Ive only got "Seven Samurai" but I wanna hunt the rest down now because this set is brilliant it really is.

Outstanding design and use of color... Top man...

I'd include John Boorman's HELL IN THE PACIFIC and give it the same Japanese theme you've established with your box set designs.. Would be interesting to how this movie fits in with the other Toshiro Mifune titles..

Master work paying homage to a master actor in master movies...

Masterful...
