TM2YC said:I just received a copy of 1959's Ben-Hur from ebay, a 3-disc blu-ray but for some bizarre reason the cover has no mention of it being 3-discs, or what the bonus feature are. It looks like this and is pretty horrid:
If you fancy having a go at making a proper 3-disc cover in a Criterion style that'd be awesome. No pressure if they film doesn't interest you. This is the info you'd need for the back cover:

TM2YC said:By the way, are your covers sized for Criterion cases, or standard blu-ray cases?
theryaney said:Okay, sure. There's a lot of art for the movie so it shouldn't take too long.
Is this also your version? There are some differences though.

I'm not completely sure, but I know they're designed for 14mm cases.

Yeah that looks like it. What differences?

I do like original poster art, and most of the original ones for Ben-Hur are orangey/brown, so yeah that orange one, or something similar. Go with whatever font you want. It might be nice to juxtapose vintage art and a modernist font. This Japanese one is pretty nifty:

The Criterion spine width is pretty standard I believe but the artwork stretches from the very top, to the very bottom. Most standard blu-rays have a half inch of plastic at the top and bottom, so it's something like 149mm, compared to 160mm height for criterion.

Hello again! I was planning on printing this out, but discovered the image is no longer present for the Q2 Fire Walk with Me fanedit. Do you still happen to have the cover you made?
