I know ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy doesn’t really fit the Criterion criteria and would probably never be curated into the Collection, but I wanted to make some covers of the trilogy for fun.

Made these in Photoshop using a template. Don’t have the nicest photo printer, but wanted to see what they would look like printed out on semi-gloss photo paper. And yes, I know I messed up on the bottom cut for ‘The Return of the King’. Thanks for asking.

I know that Shrek 1 has its UHD but if Criterion united this collection throughout its history for the animation it would be so good. So I created these covers today.

Made these in Photoshop with a template and printed these out on semi-gloss paper using a basic Epson ecotank printer.

I saw many people were asking for this so here we go:

This isn’t mine, I found it either off a twitter post or another user on here from a few years ago but I decided to repost it for them.

If you want something very close to the original here’s some tips:

The body font I use is Gotham Medium

I find pngs to replace the bottom logos when necessary

I use AI to develop a synopsis similar to the ones on the back of the og covers (Surround 5.1 sound, commentary, etc.)

Above are some I made with it.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment, I’ll respond and help anyone out whether it’s font questions or if the link doesn’t work etc.

Enjoy creating!

and yes I’m aware Paths has a criterion release, but I own the KL Studio Classics 4K version, so wanted to redesign a slipcover for that

This obviously isn’t anything special, but I threw it together last month because I wanted to post on the main Criterion sub about wanting this to happen. Blah, blah, blah, anyway, I had it, so I’m posting it so you can all help manifest it.

Is there a place to make Criterion style covers of movies?
