crumbs 14,317 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Those are bloody sensational @tintacle Cannot wait to see what you cook up for TROS. There's definitely some striking imagery from the teaser trailer (the heroes standing atop the cliff looking at the Death Star wreckage, Rey in the desert with the approaching TIE fighter, etc.) EDIT: Holy crap, I just checked your link and realised you've already done the latter! Love it! tintacle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrendanT1993 8 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 New blu ray covers for the films being released (or is it another re-release, I've lost count) in September this year. Perhaps someone could make these into alternate covers? Still using Solo yak creature art for Solo artwork, despite that sequence not making it into the final cut.

Bayesian 1,363 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 C’mon you guys, cut them some slack.

Holko 9,526 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Since the videostore died by the time bluray came around, no more does the front cover have to sell you the movie, so I guess 99% of the companies just stopped any effort to make their products at least aesthetically presentable. Bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleh. As true as that is, this is Star Wars we’re talking about. Star Wars. Have they no respect for this cultural lodestar, no sense responsibility to the millions of people whose lives were shaped or touched by this film series? They ruined the soundtracks once they got their mousy hands on them by demastering the sound and slapping shitty bargain-bin artwork on them, and now they’ve repeated the feat with their version of these video releases. And for what reason? Would it have cost all that much more in time or effort to put in even a half-assed job here? I guarantee that if Disney had put out a request for someone to do the design work for free, and zero royalties, they’d have been swamped with amazing material. But no, they’d sooner give the job to their bush-league fourth-string art department because their idiot bean-counters probably told them that the ROI on art design for relatively-low-selling soundtracks and blu-rays had to hit some minimum threshold. This is the problem with the corporatist mentality—every last stupid thing has to pay for itself. It’s not enough if one aspect of Disney’s business makes shitloads of cash; every aspect has to, or else they aren’t succeeding. No longer are things done properly just for the sake of doing it properly. Disney will pour money into galaxy’s edge because they know they can squeeze a couple grand out of each family that comes to visit it, so the ROI makes it worthwhile to make it great. They’ll pour hundreds of millions to market TROS this fall because it’ll drive asses into seats this December. But heaven forfend that they take a fraction of a sliver of a percent of that marketing budget to hire someone who isn’t a colorblind Art Institute dropout to give the two principal products of the actual films themselves the care and attention they deserve. Because think how would that look on their earnings statement. Pieter Boelen and Holko 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tintacle 314 Posted August 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2019 Thanks for the praise and feedback guys @Pellaeon I've tried different compositions etc. but Roger Kastel's poster for Empire "Style A" doesn't work. The design is simply too tall for it and I feel you'd loose too much of Vader's helmet and the X-Wings as well, even with the second draft version which is less "busy" and imo better. The same goes for Kazuhiko Sano's "Style B" for Jedi, it would get too cramped, so unless I can get a hold on the wider art they used for the LaserDisc I wouldn't consider it as an alternate. I'll have a look at Struzan's D23 poster for Force Awakens and Paul Shipper's stunning Dolby poster for Last Jedi. But heidl already made those here and here. @Richard certainly Though I suppose in a way this poster is more suited as Tom Jung did all three. However I don't think he brought his usual a-game for this one. It's way too simple for the final part of an epic sci-fi trilogy.

tintacle 314 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 @Fal J. M.

In general Attack of the Clones had a rather dull marketing campaign. @JTWfan77 I don't think that fits in this series, I'm trying to keep it in the 'hand-drawn' style. But thanks anyway @A Ghost From Highwood you're way too kind @BrendanT1993 here you go Took the liberty to update a few minor details; bumped up the resolution a bit, corrected the contrast and gave the text a little more room to breathe. _deleted_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
