I posted on the main page a while back some DVD covers for the BBUK series which I had designed, and since BBUSA 13 is just around the corner I thought I should create some designs for that as well. Feedback would be greatly appreciated:

BB2:

I see you've put all the winners directly above the title, except for season 6. You also give Janelle prominence on the cover of 7. Favouritism much? lol

Is that really Drew on the cover of 5? I hardly recognise him!

All the pics on the cover of 9 need smoothing out. Right out. In fact leave it blank, because I hate 'em all.

On the cover of 10, I'd swap Renny and Libra over so Renny is facing inwards.

Otherwise, well done

With Janelle, it's not essentially what I would want, but what I would expect the producers to do if they made the boxset in this way, Janelle was one of the most popular contestants of that series and of BB in general, whilst Maggie was poorly recieved as a winner by the audience, so I would expect CBS to do something like that if they made the cover, especially since they did the same thing with Rupert on the Survivor Pearl Islands DVD cover.

Thanks for the feedback though

I really like them!! Shame they dont come out on DVD ..!! I got hooked after watching the S3 Boxset.

But liek the survivor ones, which i am just watchign random seasons as and when, its not the best to only have 6 people on the front as its sort of a spoiler alert! lol cos if ure fave isnt on the cover, then its probably not a good thing..

but i really like them. nice one

Bumping this up now that I've got my BB13 cover roughly finished. I'm still at the tweaking stage so feedback will be appreciated:

I really like these. I definitely don't think Boogie should be on the BB2 cover though. He was nothing that season. I'd say Krista or even Kent would be better off there!

I like all the covers but the All Stars one. I think that one looks messy.

My only other minor fault is how the logo covers the contestants heads in some of the DVD covers.

Overall awesome and thanks for the YT link.

I don't agree with Winner at top of DVD.

Cause if you became a fan from Season 10 for example and wanted to watch Season 5, you would know who won and it would ruin it.

Well to answer some questions from people:

The Allstars cover was an attempt to replicate Survivor Allstars' design of having every Allstar on the cover, unfortunately because I didn't have full size profile pictures the design isn't as good as it possibly could have been, I don't really want to change it too much though primarily because it was such a chore to make in the first place. If I was to do a six person design like the others it would most likely be:
Will - Boogie - Janelle
Erika - Danielle - Chicken George

As for the winner being top centre I'm just following the same template that they used for the Survivor DVD's, nearly all of which feature the winner top centre. The only exception was Pearl Islands, where Rupert was given top centre due to his massive popularity, something which I replicated with putting Janelle top centre on the season 6 cover.

I like them. I can get why people wouldn't like the spoiler-ness of the covers but I understand its the style you are trying to replicate and I wouldn't worry too much about that if I was buying them.

I thought I'd put a little something together with it being BB 'off season' as it were. You'll already know that I designed a cover for BBUS allstars, however that was using a 14 person format similar to the one used on the Survivor All Stars DVD, that design however is very love or hate, so I produced a traditional, 6 person DVD format which you should all be familiar with.

Feedback as ever is appreciated.

Ah they are really good, wish there was dvds to release now, btw how did you select the house guests who went on there? Were they your favourites, or final 3. I noticed the winner was always at the top in the centre, well bar Season 6, but I think everyone can agree Janelle is much suited there

When choosing the 6 people on the cover it was the people who I felt were the 6 most prominant and important characters in the series or the contestants who were the more popular characters with the majority with the viewers.

Having the winner top centre was something that was nearly always done on the Survivor covers (which were the inspiration for my designs). The reason for putting Janelle top centre for BB6 was down mainly to Janelle's massive popularity with the casuals and the lethargic reaction on the whole to Maggie's win, and if CBS were to produce this style of cover they would give Janelle priority ala Rupert in Survivor: Pearl Islands.

There's some cases where I did change things slightly:
Allstars- The 14 person design was inspired by the cover for Survivor: Allstars, which had everyone on the cover.
BB11- I wanted to have at least one member of each clique represented, which is why Michele got a place on the cover despite Jessie being arguably a bigger character, plus putting Jessie on the cover ruins the opening twist of the show.
BB13- I wanted to represent the 'Us vs Them' attitude of the series between the vets and the noobs, so I made sure the cover would be 3 vets (Rachel, Jeff and Jordan) and 3 noobs (Daniele, Shelly and Porsche) with Daniele bottom centre to symbolise her role as the 'leader' as it were.

If there's any other inquiries I'll gladly answer them.
