DVD Artwork

[shaun]

Inspired by a comment from Fake Mustache, on how MGM missed out on using a great cover for 'An Eye For An Eye' on it's DVD release.


I personally think standards are dropping, go and look through your old VHS collections, you'll find films with great artwork, that grab your attention.

However that's not the case with a lot of DVD's, let's look at some examples,

'Live and Let Die' poster (also used on several VHS sleeves)



now look at the two DVD releases (MGM again)






Terrible!

You've all seen this great poster before




This is what we got on DVD




Horrible!

Feel free to post bad examples of horrid DVD art.

Cool thread idea.





Those two are terrible, I`m sure there`s worse about though.

This cover wasn't created in photoshop.

This looks like something even I could photoshop

Just like the Seagal examples, a few pounds of fat seem to have been shaved of Tom Hanks' neck & chin....



Just for the record....I don't own this movie.

My Mom does, she watched it all the time.

I watched it on a flight once

It was before I'd even seen Commando, okay?! I didn't know what I was doing!

I agree that they're using crappy photoshopped posters and DVD covers these days. I'm glad at least that the posters for the new Indy movie kept the same classic hand-drawn look.
