I was looking for some new movies to buy over the weekend and halfway through finding the right film i thought to myself i wonder how hard it would be to make some custom cases? Long story short i spent 60 bucks on a printer spent a little more for basic paper and 14 or so on a pack of bluray cases.. I will post my images here of my progress... not thrilled with the willy wonka cover but it will do.. i have a heavier paper coming in the mail but that will be a while would also like to try a photo paper..

I think they look awesome man. Photo paper may work well, but, given that it's behind the plastic sleeve anyway, I don't know if you'd even notice the glossiness of it. Be more cost effective to just keep using stock printer paper, looks fine with it. Certainly nothing wrong with trying photo paper to see, but, if it were me, I'd go the cheaper route. Looks great man!

Im hoping the photo paper will produce a better image.. since the paper soaks up the ink and comes out a little fuzzy.. This is my next concept for a few covers not sure if im sold on them yet

as little kids me and my brother used to draw posters for sequels of movies we wanted to see.
i love the vhs feel. i would prob come to that conclusion as well.
if you go with the cheaper paper you can always use shadow/highlight or exposure adjustments in PS to compensate for the fuzzy/darker print.

Thanks for that smeets started tweaking the exposure and cranking the vibrance afterwards.. Makes for some better looking images I really like those spines. I want all off Those. I decided to design a white case for the following 30 not only to add some variance to the covers but also to save ink Here is the mockup of the design.. I used a slightly heavier weighted paper from the 20lbs only up to 24lbs its not much but definitely feel the difference this paper was also brighter

Really neat idea there, I like how uniform they look now. They look nice in dark or light, but yeah I completely understand the need to save ink... the dark backgrounds really take a toll on ink cartridges in the long run. I'd be tempted to do something similar, if I wasn't so lazy. Or busy with other personal projects like typing up quotes and stuff from various book series that I like... yeah, we'll go with that.
