batman11's Covers and Art Thread

It's what I used on the light coloured text yes. What do you mean by "stroke" though? haha And yeah I have a job with Graphic Design now. Sorry if I'm up front, just how I am. People were upfront with me from the beginning when I was using paint and would work hours upon hours on something and end up having someone just bash my work pointing out all the flaws. At the time I felt offended because I'd work so hard and be satisfied only to have people tell me about the flaws, but now that I look back on it every one of them gave good constructive criticism which made me the artists I am today (not that I'm anything exceptional) I was once told this by a graphic designer before me and I'm passing it on "Why go for satisfying when you can go for extraordinary?" Personally, I don't like when people just quickly throw together a poster for a cover, a shot for the back with writing and that's it (not saying you did that) Again, I like it, I like the idea and everything but I think if you keep at it your work will become extraordinary. Keep up the work bro

By stroke I meant like an "outlined" sort of look. The lighter text on the back of your cover looks as if it's outlined. I assume this is due to the method you mentioned.

Anyways, thanks for clearing the air, I appreciate the gesture. Obviously we had a bit of a misunderstanding and I'm glad we've gotten past it. Sometimes I freaking hate the internet for it's lack of conveying emotion and intent through posts. LOL t:

Thanks again for the comments.

No problem, and yeah that was the method I was talking about. But even that is generally avoided but if you wanna differentiate texts in "Special Features" without making a new Special Features box/background behind it and you wanna keep the same colour scheme keep with it. Also, you can notice a slight glow effect behind "Disc One" and "Disc Two" but only because they are main titles.

New edition to my collection. I wanted to stray a little from TDK, but not from Batman. LOL Basically, what we have here is the Batman Anthology box set, except for Blu-Ray. I really liked the packaging for the Anthology DVD set, so I tried to keep it quite similar, however, there are some changes.

Firstly, I did not use a source image for the box. I created it completely in Photoshop (including the symbol, however, the actual "bat" shape is from an original outline I had) which is why it make look a tad different. I tried to get it as similar as possible (with regards to the actual box structure) but for those with the Anthology at home, you'll most likely be able to point out the differences.

Anyways, the changes are as follows: new text, new text structure, redesigned back cover (top part with bat signal), new images used for each film (teaser posters with some minor tweaks), a modified description (you'll know it when you see it) and of course, everything's been modified for Blu-ray.

Anyhow, enjoy, and let me know what you think:

If given the choice, I would buy your Ledger-covered alternates. They just rock.
