I am looking to add inside artwork to minority report UK steel. Anyone have some opinions for what artwork to use?

Also will be adding artwork to drive hmv, if anyone has an opinion on that lemme know! So far I was thinking this for drive

Spoiler

of course I have not yet put any artwork into the template from page 1, so I'm not sure if this will even look good.

Converted my Fantastic 4 SteelBook to house my Extended Edition DVD as well.

Got this yesterday.

Already had the Trilogy so converted it to this.

Custom spine for Tangled Zavvi. It was pointed out to me that my first one didn't match the rest of the Disney collection, so here's version 2.

Version 1

Is there a program or template something where you can put images so you can print off and they will fit a steel
As correct me if I'm wrong is the thing in the OP just a computer program which just shows what they will look like . As my wall e printed too big even though the sizes on screen were right to fit a steel

Had a quick play and came up with this attempting some kind of embossing . Still got to iron out kinks and it's still wet but you get the idea

Actually the black images in the OP are templates that you can open in something like Photoshop. I personally use the small one and after following my instructions I only have to trim 1mm off the top and bottom of the printed photo and it fits the steelbook exactly. Here's one of my finished steelbooks.

I'm having trouble using it I'm using gimp . I couldn't figure out how to add so I used paint and open office draw but even then it came out too small as you can see

I've found this steel book is ideal for being a frankenstein case as it's just two stickers

Hey ninjas!

I decided to make a custom spine for my FS Guardians of the Galaxy steelbook (shared it too just in case someone likes it ), but was wondering what kind of paper would you recommend I use to print it on?

Also, I thought about just sticking this on top of the current spine on the steelbook....is that ok, or is it better to remove the old spine and put the new one on?

(Sorry for all the questions, I don't tinker with my steelbooks ever)

 

[howiesteed]

ive not done many of these 1 to be exact but found if you take it off th eremaining glue is enough to hold the new spine on

 

[bd251]

I would just put it over the original spine. That way you don't have to mess with the inside art. Just print it on photo paper and use double sided tape

 

[NazguL66]

thanks for the tips!

Got this:

And converted to this:

 

[howiesteed]

Of second attempt at this massive improvement on first attempt but think I need another go loads of lessons learnt on this . People thoughts please and I won't mind if they are critical

This thread is incredible. I was feeling pretty good about myself doing some mods on my steelbooks until I discovered this thread!

djs1401 your custom lenti idea is so sick ! I have a few ideas and will be placing an order soon.
