Sandor 459 Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Munich looks good except that they cut the poster off at the top. That seems amateurish to me.Wondering what kind of CD cases they have on your planet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturgisPodmore 0 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Memoirs of a Geisha.Roald, Justin was refferring to how the title "Munich" is in plain black, not right on the picture.Munich looks good except that they cut the poster off at the top. That seems amateurish to me.Indeed, but I believe it's because the title wouldn't show up with the window as a background, and if the words were black, they wouldn't show up against the curtains. So I think they had to cut it off. ~Sturgis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 44 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I love all the 2005 covers except ROTS which I find the be incredibly tedius and uninspired. Neil mantioned something about a cover made "by committee" and I agree. In this sense it perfectly reflects the movie. However the other three Williams covers look gorgeous. I went with Geisha just because of those haunting eyes! Similar to the famous National Geographic cover of the young Middle-Eastern girl with the piercing eyes and beautiful face. A truly stunning CD cover. I also like the design of the WOTW cover, and the stark but well balanced photograph on the Munich CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC1 3,565 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Why didn't they leave the title at the bottom like the poster?The shape of a movie poster is different than that of a CD cover. I think the change makes sense, given the fact that they had to fit it into a small square space. The CD cover looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CD cover looks good.Same as every movie poster, althought they did a better job for War of the Worlds.Or they could have just resized the poster, like the cover for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

MSM 85 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I love Struzan BECAUSE he draws photorealistically. And it has a lot more allure than just photographs. And no, RotS poster was not photoshopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC1 3,565 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 WOTW was an easy job. If you zoom in and cut the top and bottom of the WOTW poster, it makes a perfect square and there is no information loss. Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom is a different concept. It's a resize that doesn't cover up the whole sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munich should have been like that IMO, with the black backgroung instead of the white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The present cover makes sense, the top has no important visual information and beggs for the title to be placed there.Besides, it's out of vogue.

John McClane 1 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Maybe Justin, or Stefan, or some other Photoshop's friend.I'm curious.This is what I did with Microsoft Paint in less than 2 minutes, just to give an idea of what it should like. The original have that black bar on top who cuts the windows too much, maybe the title at the top, but without the black backgroud (so the title would have the window as background) would have be better.2 minutes of my weekend I'll never get back.

Melange 446 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Similar to the famous National Geographic cover of the young Middle-Eastern girl with the piercing eyes and beautiful face. She's Afghan and was tracked down about 3 years ago. Although only about 30, the ravages of environment make her look considerably older now unfortunately.

Morlock 9 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 For me, WoTW takes the cake. That picture was the first thing to get me excited about the film. Geisha is next, followed by Munich. Geisha seems to me the best album cover though (not best picture). It's the most musical cover of the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
