I love the font on the Rivette. Good job on La Chinoise, too.

Hey I'd buy a Criterion release of The Ghoul anytime!

two more from me. resident runner up to stop making sense's fantastic covers haha. seriously, that Paris nous appartient one is incredible. anyways...

I quite like the title treatment you did there on Night of the Hunter!

^ wasn't that yellow like, twenty minutes ago?

Now if they'd only release this, and the Calcutta trilogy, and Devi, Mahanagar, and Charulata... then I could stop sending Mulvaney emails that he never replies to.

The last one for a bit, I think.

They should put you in charge of covers and acquisitions.

Stop Making Sense, who are you?
Your work is so superior to what Criterion are doing now that I'm a little taken aback.

And yes, put him/her in charge of acquisitions, too!

A quick one:

I don't know how appropriate it is to the film (haven't seen it or read the book), but I love the Leave Her to Heaven concept above - it would be great to see someone take a chance and release a DVD like that, with an actual worn book-cover style. Somehow it feels like it would be suited to something like Greed, or better still Häxan. Or The Ninth Gate, I suppose.

You know, I look at that cover and I'm not too sure about it. I did it in ten minutes, and I think it makes thematic sense (in relation to the lifeless housing units to which Costa's project relocates), but it still looks a little too hip for me at the moment. I've tried my hand at designing a cover for Colossal Youth many times, and yet I always feel like the end result is juvenile.

Dogma did that style.

More important: See Leave Her to Heaven!

There Will Be Blood's 2-disc dvd U.S. release had a book cover when you take the sleeve off as well.

I wouldn't worry about it too much as it's damn sight better that Criterion's own for A Christmas Tale. Plus, it catches the eye, which is, of course, the point of any DVD/book etc. cover.

Absolutely wow! send it to Criterion, so that they finally release a gorgeous cover. Keep it up

how dare you tease me like this!!!!!!!!! I would KILL for a loaded CC of this...the current disc is so underwhelmingly bland

Wow, you seem to have a hold on your craft through psychedelic drugs. =P~

so does someone have a template for the whacky C and the criterion boxes along the side with the dates in them? what the font is for those and spine #s? I've been playing in photoshop but can't for the life of me properly do the C or get the boxes right on the side/spine.

actually...I'm sure i'm asking this in the wrong forum section...but wasn't sure where else to do it...My library occasionally sells some of their dvds, and I picked up Woman in the Dunes for $5 (the rest of the set was nowhere to be found though). Problem is that it's in a keep case with the cardboard cutout cover from the original case slid into it with nothing on the back...quite ugly. is there somewhere around this forum where I can get an image file to make a new cover? I realize such activities tend to be practiced by less than ethical folks...but there has to be some resource for those who don't like the digipacks and whatnot....any help out there?

and the font criterion uses along the spine is kartika, i believe.
sorry i can't really help with your other query.

^ i think he was using "um" in that case to imply that the proceeding images were proof of his non-five-year-old-acy. i also think it was pretty obvious. either way, here is a new cover from me. it's awful, but a kick ass movie. just picture it all glittery like the mishima set is.

Just a quick one.

Fantastic job! It's so refreshing to see the egg used that way, and with no dripping teeth alien looming. Your covers continue getting better and better.
