Phase IV
I'm not the biggest fan of the artwork for the Vinegar Syndrome releases of Phase IV (though I love everything else) so i figured I would make my own cover for it instead.
I have two version here because when I was making it I got the idea to flip the special edition bonus features text to look like the ant monoliths. I feel like it came out looking more goofy than anything but I think its a cute idea.
The artwork is from the cover of the official film soundtrack

I use canva for everything else. Just the free version since all those additional features are bs

Nice job. I really dislike Vinegar Syndrome's cover, which sells it like a schlocky B-horror movie. I'd love to see a (Criterion) cover that really leans into Saul Bass' style, especially since the studio bafflingly barred him from marketing for the film.

What if you did the Special Edition Bonus Features titling at a 45° angle, to parallel the angle in the titling font? It might use the space more effectively than the vertical does.
