Morlock 11 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I love the big one- but the small one looks to me like the computer faces from Gabriel Knight 3. But as a full sized CD cover- that looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I am hoping that if they release multiple covers, again, that we will have one with the dementor's hand opening the door to the train compartment.That is the cover I want, and hope they make, and will buy if they do.

MSM 126 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Am I the only one who feels that HP:SS and SW:TPM soundtrack covers look a little too alike?They are both painted by Drew Struzan.NeilThanks A LOT for that information!!Finally I have the answer on the question why the Cutthroat Island art is so similar to the Indy art!This man must be the John Williams of the movie art, quite cool! I visited the man's website and his work inspires me a lot.Is Struzan the only Hoolywood artist of this caliber or are there more? I guess some of the pre-production artists are very good too (Douglas Chang for Star Wars and some artists who did impressions for Jurassic Park). And who draw the Empire Strikes Back poster?

A24 4,338 Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Its OK. Not very creative though.Creativity has nothing to do with it. Putting a bad artist to work on some collage composition cover for two weeks don't mean ****. The "Hook" poster once showed only a hook. That was great! Why does it always have to be crowded?But it has to be said that I like simple lines to get the message across. You recognize them from miles away and if neccesary, they can even make good a logo.Now here's a good example of a very simple cover. Guess what? I love it!

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Fawkes looked like crap in CoS(scene in Dumbledore's office),I have no better words to put it.So did Dobby,Aragorn,the forest spiders,the Basilisk...ect...most of the special beffects in CoS were unimaginative and uninspired as far as I am concerned.As for movie poster/c.d. covers,I think a key scenery picture from the movie is nice as cover art too,like the boats with the Hogwarts castle backdrop in one of the Philosopher's Stone posters,or 2 hobbits with the Mount Doom backdrop for RotK(I put that one on one of my walls),but if the cast is gonna be depicted,I prefer BY FAR Stuzan's ensemble cast paintings to single head posters(the CoS c.d. art sucked big time).Then there's a logo which can be cool if well done(Jurassic Park,Superman),but it can be boring also(Star Wars OST,Hook OST).Finally the WORST is half heads on one side of the poster(Star Wars THX edition if I remember correctly),or 2 split heads for the 2 main star characters(can't remenber a specific example except Jack Nicholson seems to be on a lot of these type posters)At some point I loved the Star Wars Special Edition posters,but seeing Ian Mc Diarmid on the Empire poster bothers me more and more...BTW who drew the original ESB(Han and Leia embrace) and RotJ(Vader over throne room) posters,was that Drew too???K.M.

I disagree with all of this, I think they all looked quite good, though Dobby was questionable at times. The basilisk in particular was amazing.As for movie poster/c.d. covers,I think a key scenery picture from the movie is nice as cover art too,like the boats with the Hogwarts castle backdrop in one of the Philosopher's Stone postersAgreed. I really wish they had done this for CoS too.the CoS c.d. art sucked big timeThough I would have preferred a different approach, I thought the different covers were kind of fun.

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I prefer the Hook bootleg cover.What I also mean is that spiders usually creep me out,but the CGI spiders oddly didn't affect me at all,as they did in Arachnophobia or the big spider in RotK which was scary.Maybe the Basilisk was technically well done,it just wasn't very scary or interesting to look at.Fawkes just looked like his mechanical joints need oil or something.K.m.

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hahahah, Fawkes looked like a feather duster gone horribly, horribly wrong. His head moved so unnaturally, I half expected his eyes to melt, limbs to fall off and burst into flame. Of course, when he did burst into flames I was in hysterics.The Basilisk looked more like Godzilla that a snake. Honestly, what part of "giant snake" was hard to understand? I'm surprised thos teeth didn't go straight through the roof of its mouth, they were huge and MUCH too many. I didn't think snake had fifty rows of fangs. While we're at it Tom Riddle says "You might have blinded the Basilisk, but it can still hear you!". Corect me if I'm wrong, but aren't snakes deaf? They have no ears, they sense with their tongues. Somebody didn't do their homework...I like the Hook original cover. The actual release, however is apalling. I honestly don't know any of the track names save the first and last and I generally don't like removing CDs from the player to check the track names...
