Another spine for another DVD album

Yesterday I designed and printed a sheet to place in the spine of another rigid DVD albums. I had one of these Hofmann rigid albums for CDs and DVDs for years, but I couldn’t find another one until this thursday when I saw one while searching for my new printer. They’re 9€ and can handle 120 discs or covers. I like them more than the other semi-rigid archivers with zip and poor sewing, for more or less the same proportional price. The rigid albums, on the other side, have independent sheets (for eight discs) in a ring structure.
This one has been a bit harder to create, since the first one was only for three genres, while this album contains almost all the other genres: from comedy to horror, from fantasy to sports. I ended with too many elements wanting to be in a corner, too many big elements, and just too many elements. I had to overimpose many of the images and place them in strange ways, besides deleting a few items like the Ghostbusters “no ghost” logo.
The back side (left side of the sheet) features Edward Scissorhands, Full Metal Jacket, Groundhog Day, Akira, The Lord Of The Rings, and Chariots of Fire. The front side (right side of the sheet) features Ghost In The Shell, The Blues Brothers, Poltergeist, and Apocalypse Now. The spine itself (central part of the sheet) features the gift box from Love Actually, the bunny mask from Donnie Darko (although this movie will not actually be in this album), the fists of Bruce Lee, the gun from Unforgiven, the Planet Express logo from Futurama, and Homer’s arm from The Simpsons Movie (who is holding the logo instead of the original doughnut).
Beware with the thumbnail, as it brings you to a 1mb picture when you click on it. The original hi-res SVG is available on request.
