Im making Superman II covers that look alike the Rhino 2Cd release.

What front cover do you prefer?

(EDIT: Fixxed font, now it is accurate and with black shadow and better bottom without WTC top)

I prefer the 1st one but the 'music by...' is too small...

I wrote

Music composed by John Williams

Arranged, orchestrated and conducted by ken Thorne

Is this correct? any suggestions?

thanks :music:

This is how the back cover will look more or less.

Should i center the titles in the spine or left as is to match the title in the Rhino cd?

Posted

I agree that the first one is better - pity about the "composed by" though. Strictly speaking, I think the credits are "Music composed and conducted by Ken Thorne, based on themes by John Williams", but it's up to you.

I would make the back cover like it is on the Rhino release.

Posted

Great work......yes I prefer the first cover.....and also think that you should do a very similar piece of work for the Superman II + III CD..... 8O

Posted

Since III is not that great... I was going to put the III tracks as Bonus tracks to the score of II....

I want to put the best music credots, but i read an interview with thorne and said the mostly just arranged the music to fit a smaller orchestra and the images...

Posted

Hey LS, they look great. I'd go with the first cover though and I would also match the Rhino cover as well.

Can I get a copy when finished?

Posted

Sure, i'll post them here in better quality

Edited from here:

It doesnt happen anything for editing a pic, right? or is it Lucassy?

Posted

Pretty nifty work there on the pic of Zod & Co. I had no idea it was edited until I saw the second pic.

One minor thing, though. I'd remove the tops of the WTC buildings from the first cover, only because it doesn't look right just having the very tops on there with no other buildings.

Posted

right. I may even gross the bottom margin, so the words fit better 8O

Edit: DONE!

Posted

I need to know if 'Honeymoon Hotel' Is Souce music.

Thats is Completely composed by Thorne right?

Posted

Here are the Completed Covers thugh my last question still needs to be answered.

The big question is,who needs c.d. covers for bootlegs nowadays

k.M.Who doesn't display cdr's anymore

Posted

I like to have covers. I find it more attractive to pick up the cd and play it that way. Sounds odd, but it's true.

Posted

The only CD-R scores I have are for my promo's and bootlegs. I need to sometime have someone make covers for them as well as the picture CD's. I perfer to have it on a CD because an Mp3 can degrade over time..

Posted

I see one typo. You have every word capitalized in your track titles except for "Release of the Villains".

I agree. For example, when I look through my CD collection, I'm much more likely to choose a covered CD than one that is without. That's why I'm trying to make covers for Yared's Troy. Without them, it's just a plain CD with "Troy Rejected Film Order - Gabriel Yared" markered on the top. With (my preliminary) covers, it makes you expect the epic sound of the score and anticipate it before you put it in.

I mean I almost don't use my stereo system anymore.

Most of my listening is on my PC over headphones,or on my ipod,so I haven't used a c.d. as such in a year or so.I still want c.d.'s so I can choose which bit rate and file type to rip them to my PC.

Thanks :music:

I have not updated the cover still, in case there is more tinkering to do.

When the thread just says FINISHED, they will be :)

I'm sorry that's the silliest thing I have heard.

An MP3 is computer data, as long as the medium you store it on doesn't deteriote, nothing will happen to the file.

Yes, but it will always either work, or stop working. It won't deterioriate in quality like casettes.

Now the real question is, why would you store music in MP3 form?

The quality of the jpeg is not exceptional.. and photobucket has resized...but for itunes or other media player will suffice, i think.

Posted

Jolly well done indeed.

Posted

One of my ongoing projects is to make a personal Superman IV CD, like it was suposed to have came out back in '88. I've already started working on covers for that one, but have been having some trouble finding high quality scans of the original poster.

Posted

I don't like how Pryor is cut off on the Superman III cover, it doesn't look right.

I use the OST covers for the Superman scores and for IV I made one from the movie poster and added black borders to the sides, kind of like Jaws.

He should not have appeared (in Superman arms...how gay is that...) in the first time... ;)

I could not do better with the DVD cover....

Posted

Nice one Skywalker...and once again, I call for a new section to the site where items such as this can be posted and indexed to make them easy to find.....there is a lot of good artwork by yourself and others (Miguel in particular) around these parts that many will never have seen - and that is a real shame.

Now that you say... lol looks cute :lol:

and by the way... Nice work :P I'm using this from now...

Posted

Well you can put the alternates and songs as parts of their respective scores :)

And the pics from the cartoons are scarce, and they dont have a DVD layout like the movies...

Posted

Sometimes I think why not put the new FSM score releases in individual jewel cases with new covers instead of those quadruple jewel cases,but then what do you do with the book and the slieve..

k.M.In a storage dilemna
