I get what you're going for, but the cover doesn't look quite right, it almost resembles more of a postcard. Maybe a two-part image would work better? The film is very kinetic and that doesn't quite get the basic mood of it across.

Beautiful and witty lobby-card design there - not much you can do about the aspect ratio of the DVD case!

Got lazy on the back cover (I can't modify the template text without paying $60 to Hoefler & Frere-Jones for the font).

[zedz]

I think that constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. Bravo!

FUCK YES!! (hand clapping emoticon here) Superb cover!

OMFG hilarious

Now those are truly inspirational fake covers! The extra features show some very dark humour - my favourite kind!

[klee13]

Holy shit! Now that's what I call dedication to a joke.
Those extras!

Wow. That is the best post this thread has ever seen, primolandia.

"Vintage unrelated newsreel footage of a baby choking on a penny" is my favorite.

'A 99-minute exclusive new interview with Wishman's decaying corpse' #-o

Thumbs up, that's dedication to the spirit of the premise! One small caveat: no FAKE spine numbers!

these aren't real.

Perfection is a bitch! Fixed my post anyway, thanks!

Here's another CC Wishman so you can re-wrap your SWV release.

'Drive-In Adult Book Pitch' #-o

[primolandia]

All the extras are straight from the SWV release.
I just get a chuckle from using the Chris Marker cover as the basis.

Went simple for this one, meant for a Back to the Future trilogy box:

More experiments with turning things that aren't DVD covers into DVD covers:





Though I just realized that I may have subconsciously stolen the idea from the posters for David Fincher's latest. #-o
