8 years and a ton of covers later…


A long time ago on a website not-so… wait… this website(!) ThrowgnCpr put together a tutorial for faneditors covering the techniques needed to create a DVD cover in Photoshop.  The tutorial has been used by beginning editors and illustrators on not only fanedit.org, but with more than 25,000 views on vimeo, the tutorial clearly filled a niche.  Although Photoshop has evolved a few generations since the tutorial was made in 2008, and blu-ray releases are becoming more and more common, the principles of the technique haven’t changed.

Have a look for yourself:

The project files as well as additional details on the tutorial are available on our forums here.
