heres a few more previews

but for the rest please pm me..

Image

not sure if I showed this one I also have an alternate version with different poster art.

Image

also heres a preview of what my cloudy aladdin cover looked like before I placed everything on the back. All the clouds that extend over the spine and on the back were tediously cloned by me... it was fun :lol:

Image

heres an unfinished preview of my finding nemo. It is done now I just never updated the preview..

Image

and last but not least here is a preview of my very first disney cover as you will notice it is not the same as the rest of the collection but I have converted it over to suit the style of the rest

All are grogeous,

except the MULAN one, why did you take this poor cover art which is very very bad, the worst i've seen for a disney dvd.

disney guru the dimensions for that picture are 1772 X 1377 and its not really grainy. The pink background has a grainy texture but jafar is perfectly smooth. And it was the only choice I had because there was not much material out there for the 2nd and 3rd aladdins..

because it was all there was that suited the style of both covers. or else I would have used something else. The rest was bad quality and I will not use anything under 300 DPI on my covers.

This is you. This is your badness level. It's unusually high for someone your size. We need to fix that.

yes I made a cover for littler mermaid 1 and 2. I had the original art for 2 but I had to use a scan for the front on the first 1. But it was heavily cleaned up. If your interested please pm me.

heres some full res previews of certain portions of the covers... just to give you an example of the hires quality..

heres the back picture of jafar you can see how clear it is... just certain textures on the picture are grainy but thats just the original texture. and you dont notice it when its printed on photo paper.

Sorry I didnt answer your question in the first response... I design all my covers in PhotoShop CS. I use to use PhotoShop 7 but then I upgraded and I am so glad I did. Anywho thats what I use. I gather all the material I need and then open up my template in PS CS and go from there.

I have the Creative Suite too. I am just learning how to use it though. Where do you find the images to use on the covers? sometimes, finding decent cropable images is really hard 8)

It is different. I just looked at my Platinum Edition and my Black Diamond VHS, and it looks the most the BD one- the hair is different..But it still looks great! :D
