He always changes fonts, layouts and margins, and never lazily pastes in a raw scan of the teaser/theatrical posters alongside a default font for the composer credit.  And yet his design fingerprints remain recognizable, which is the sign of a great designer.

GerateWohl 5,420 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 At an earlier page of this thread I mentioned, corrected by Jay, that apart from this one and the Jaws and Jaws 2 expansions Intrada usually used the OST covers of the scores. Apart from that, what crumbs said.  And as well mentioned before: I like the cover of this release.  Bayesian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, when I said consistency with previous archival releases (and original albums for that matter), I meant where "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" is usually at the top and the bottom has it as "Music Composed and Conducted By John Williams." I could not find a font aside from what was easily available. Also, if Jim Titus had done this, I believe that poster would have been utilized, unless there is another image representative of the film that is more striking. artguy360 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyD 1,412 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 True! The scene that immediately comes to mind whenever I think of the film (imagery AND music) is that scene. That and when Martin takes the American flag during the battle at the climax of the film and waves it urging the Colonials to hold the line and push forward.

Popular Post Steve H 28 Posted January 17 Popular Post Share Posted January 17 I have been revisiting this score since the Intrada announcment. Have to say its not one I have repeatedly listen too in the past but I always remembered Williams' Colonial theme. One of those brassy Williams earworms that brings a smile to your face. Anyway after re-listening I am pleasantly suprised how melodic and thematically rewarding the score is. Looking forward to the Intrada edition.  Yavar Moradi, crumbs, Once and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard P 4,433 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 8 hours ago, crumbs said: Here's my custom cover  Best one in this whole thread. I'm not a fan of the Struzan-styled one as I think the hand-drawn look is a little chaotic/messy.  I'm extremely torn on Intrada's covers, overall. I often find that the text is a little on the generic side, and in this case, lacks some contrast with the background. Perhaps they're also omitting a few more 'cleanup' steps like someone showed with Out Of Africa.  But the entire cover art world is too subjective, as I can see with License to Kill. I think I'm the only person here who thinks that cover is ok. However, the number of times the first response to news of a great release is 'awful cover', and I look at it and think.... it's not perfect, but.... awful? Really?
