Front Back Author: Anthony Romero Added: 09-17-11 Subject: SPFX Film Collection (SP/CR-71004~5)   The SPFX Film Collection release was, if nothing else, two things: awkwardly titled and with awkward packaging. This cover attempts to address those two details by giving it a name more fitting for the contents and in a design that fits a normal jewel case.

Front Back Author: Anthony Romero Added: 01-02-11 Subject: Ostinato (K32X-7037/KICA-2212)   This cover takes a similar approach to the original, black and gold design and makes the image more eye catching while placing the title vertical. The back does the opposite, by having the title horizontal and downplaying the image to text ratio. Due to track difference, this cover, at least the back, can't be used for the Godzilla Perfection Collection release of this music (GX-7).

Front Back Author: Anthony Romero Added: 09-07-09 Subject: Porco Rosso (TKCA-30596/TKCA-71156)   Mimicking the cover to the official release, except with an English title and a lighter color tone, is this cover for Porco Rosso (1992). The back is a bit different than the normal cover, as there is a banner at the top specifically for the title, but looks respectable none the same. Due to the tracks being the same, this can be used for either the 1992 or 1997 release of the soundtrack.

Front Back Author: Anthony Romero Added: 08-16-09 Subject: Bye-Bye Jupiter - Original Soundtrack (CA35-1073)   This cover is for the now long out of print soundtrack to Bye-Bye Jupiter (1984). The front is more or less identical to the commercail release, just with a different title on the front and credit being given to Kentaro Haneda, Yumi Matsutoya, and Jiro Sugita. The back is fairly simple, utilizing a single production still and then allowing the emptyness of space to work as a backdrop for the titles.

Front Back Author: Anthony Romero Added: 01-07-08 Subject: Complete Recordings: Akira Ifukube Toho SFX Movie Music 8 (TYCY-5209~10)   This cover is for the two disc release in the "Complete Recordings" line for the 1959 movie The Three Treasures. I decided early on to ignore the CD line that this release came from, and focus solely on the movie in question. Sadly, there isn't a lot of material floating around for the 1959 movie that is in pristine condition, as even most film stills show obvious damage. Consequently, I decided to dig out the old theatrical pamphlet for the movie and use the artwork from that. Unfortunately, the booklet is nearly pushing 50 now, and shows obvious signs of age when zoomed in. So I utilized a lot of added effects to the cover, which shows the "three treasures", to help mask this and give it a slight distinctness over the source. Due to the two disc nature, the back on this one was quite a challenge to make since so many track titles had to be featured. The end result looks a little crowded, but I'm pleased none the same. Unfortunately, I don't have this two disc set, so I didn't print off a "test run" like I usually do, but I don't imagine anything in particular will look off when printed out. As a general note, this is formatted to fit in a standard jewel case.

Front Back Author: Anthony Romero Added: 01-05-08 Subject: King Kong Escapes (TYCY-5507)   Been awhile since a request has come through for a CD cover, so I leapt at this one when it did. For this cover for King Kong Escapes I actually started working on the back first, which is abnormal for me. Once finishing that, I decided I would copout and simply utilize the artwork for the region 1 DVD of the title for the front. Consequently, this clashed with the look of the back, so I ended up changing around the saturation and colors there. The end result, while mixed in some areas, looks good when printed off and shoved in a jewel case.

Front Back Author: Anthony Romero Added: 09-05-06 Subject: Sweet Home (SRCL-3165)   Ended up buying a used copy of this disc that, unfortunately, didn't include the back cover insert. So I drafted this up quickly as a replacement. The cover is pretty much identical to the main release, except the title font has been changed. The back utilizes the design from the poster at the top, before moving into the title and finally the track listings. This cover can also be used for the original issue of the disc (32DH-5188).

Front Back Author: Anthony Romero Added: 12-21-05 Subject: Swing Girls (UPCH-1360)   The front is very simple and relies on the large image displayed there with minimal text. The back cover, on the other hand, looks very busy, which is why I relied on a single white background for it. However, this will make cutting out the cover much more difficult than previous ones.

Front Back Author: Anthony Romero Added: 08-11-05 Subject: Half Human (TYCY-5509)   To put it simply, this is just the CD's normal cover with the Japanese text replaced with English, as was requested by one of the site's visitors. Not much else to comment on, as this was a very straight forward CD cover to make as a result of what was desired.

Front Back Author: Anthony Romero Added: 08-09-05 Subject: Yojimbo (AK-0006)   So perhaps it has been awhile since I have done one of these. I will admit that this one was actually a fairly quick endeavor, as the cover is extremely simple and was constructed directly from production material. The back, on the other hand, proved to be a bit of challenge, on account of 60 track titles needing to be fit in the design. The ending result looks a little crowded, but the track titles are all clearly readable.

Front Back Author: Anthony Romero Added: 01-30-04 Subject: Gunhed (OOFD-7115)   Went for a very different approach with this one, which I would like to say is easily my best yet. I ditched the whole "paint by numbers" type covers I had been doing in the past, in favor for something more unique to the film. The back I'm especially proud of, as I was allowed a lot of room, due to the small number of tracks, to try a lot of things. I made these ones even bigger than usual, so they will print out better, so please ignore the pixilation on the actual images.
