This isnt going to be number 2 in the collection but its the 2nd Ive started.
Just need to get a decent TT or find out what the font is.
Ive kept to the Black and White style on back with a colour front like Ive done with the godfather, should I stick to this style or make the backs colour on the modern ones, I thought the B&W give a good gangster theme but would like to hear your suggestions.
Cheers

I like it, I really do, but I'd reco maybe added some color tone to the screenshots on the back... People who havent seen the movie might think it's a black and white flick or something... Also having the entire background black and gray makes it kinda bland....Im also really tired, so what do I know.. O and I'm pretty sure Carlitos Way Rise to Power has the same font title.. here is a link

Nice work Bisky... I'd stick with colour on the back also... But just my opinion...

Building on what RookerProductions and boneapart said about the pics on the back being in color, and our discussion about sepia tone in Casino, here is a wild idea. Try this (you don't have to post them, just try it and if you like it, then post them), Take all three covers, make the front B/W, the back in sepia tone, the film strip in color and the pic on the spine in color. Then try the front in sepia tone, the back in B/W and the film strip in color and the pic on the spine in color. Compare them to what you have now, and go with your gut. You have a good eye, and if you posted all of them you would get positive feedback on them all. So go with the ones you like best.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. By the way, did I say how great this looks, and how I like the way the collection is looking? No, i didn't. I'm sorry, an oversite on my part.
Bisky, this Cover looks great, and I really like the way the collection is looking. Nice work.

Looking very nice mate :thumbup:
Only little thing i can see for now is the back specs sit very close to the bottom of the cover, hard to tell from the preview but may need moving up a tad, if rooms tight you could maybe trim the width of the screenshots a few pixels :)

Layout and position of the different elements looks real nice m8.
I have one bugbear though - the texture of the frame.
Looks like brushed metal to me and I'd reco going with something other than that for a Gangster Collection.
Not sure what but I just think it doesn't really fit the overall theme - just my opinion so you can ignore it if you want.

I like it way more in color, now the only reco from me is that maybe the screens would look nicer blended into each other...

Nice work, but I agree with RP about the picture strip needing blending together...

Do ya`s been remove the bars that seperate the screens and blend them instead?

yeah... remove the bars inbetween each one, and do a nice blend..
