I know it's been a while since I promised this, but I had some Windows issues (hdd stopped working, so I lost WinXP and had to re-install it again.)

I made several more, including Suspiria (and other Argento movies), some Fulci's movies, Elm Street (collection boxset cover), The Thing (JC) ... I will up them as soon as I fix my PC problems (I finally moved to W7 and I still need to find the right software for it)

I printed all of these covers for myself and they look great (better quality 170g photo paper also contributed to this).

So here they are... Note: I set them in smaller size, but if you want to see all the details, I can upload huge size image, but it will take additional time to open them,












ps. Phantasm looks especially wicked in printed version. It looks like magazine cover.

Awesome

[Jack Frost]

Some new covers... I am very busy these days, so I couldn't work on them. Will have time after mid April tho, hopefully I'll finish these and make new ones.

Suspiria (Complete, but want to fix few things)



Elm Street Boxset (complete)




The Howling (SE, unfinished, just front and spine, back completed around 50% tho, not shown here)



The Thing (unfinished, just Front. Used old The Thing theatrical poster for this one)

[Craig]

Damn, I love them Jack. Keep them coming.

[Jack Frost]

Thanks Craig. They'll have to wait for a while, since I have study period yet again, along with some other work that need to be done.

I am also having a problem with Photoshop CS2 (legit, btw) since it doesn't work well in Windows 7.
I'll need to look out for some patches that fix this problem (CS2 is crashing at random, and many times it fails to save the project.)

[Jack Frost]

[bozzer]

will be cool to see the evil dead one

[Craig]

Jack, is Photoshop CS2 a free download? and is it any good?

[Jack Frost]

Nope, it's not free. I think it cost me around 70 euros when I bought it, but it was a must (since I worked with it while I was studying Graphic Design, and we all had to have legit copy... )

You can however find it on internet, and use crack\patches to register it. I doubt anyone will monitor CS2 now since CS6 is out now.

and it's great. Bit complicated at first to use (lot of tools, options), but after you learn how to manipulate photos in it, it's like riding a bike. You never really forget how to use it. And if you have some imagination and know what you want, it's really easy to use once you get use to tools offered in Photoshop.

PS. Photoshop 7 is also terrific, but I am not sure if it's gonna work on Windows 7 and Vista. It's also a old program, so I doubt it's gonna be expensive if you find it. It was great version, with very few bugs and you can do anything you would do in CS2. In CS2 some tools are just easier to use.

[Craig]

Ah ok, I'm gonna look into getting it.

[Jack Frost]

No prob. You can find really good tutorials on the internet.

if you want something more official, looks for Total Training: Photoshop CS. I had that one, helped me alot. You don't have to have any knowledge of Photoshop to fallow this one, he will teach you everything you need to know. Only, they cost around $45 at that time (3 DVDs, plus one bonus for advanced tutorials) but I suggest you get those from internet. Cost might have dropped by now, tho. (it wouldn't be a waste of money if you can afford them and truly want to learn Photoshop, trust me. You can become real expert with Photoshop if you successfully learn everything from those DVDs.)
