The Straight Story (1999) Custom Criterion Collection DVD Cover
Just like with my revisited THX cover, I used a template on Photoshop to make this. I worked on the front part of the cover individually before I put it into the Criterion template. I tweaked Alvin on his lawnmower and the ground beneath him to be solid black for the most part, because the picture had an uneven color on it. And I made it a bit taller at the top and used the content aware tool to fill up the blank space I had. For the back part of the cover, I used the same image that's on the front, but I edited out Alvin on the lawnmower and made the picture turn the opposite way horizontally. One thing I wish I could've figured out is how to make the brighter part of the image on the back darker. Because of that, it looks a bit uneven with Alvin heading towards brightness and between that and the sky getting darker, you got another patch of brightness. I'm sorry for that. I'm still pretty new on learning how to use Photoshop.
