In case you don't know this is the early stages of my Summerslam 2009 custom retro, based on the Summerslam 1990 cover.

A question about getting my full covers? And making your own cover

Someone asked how to get some of my full covers, or how to make covers like mine.

The answer is simple, you can get fulls to most of all my covers, just not here. You can get my covers at the WCF forums, by looking up my name or looking up a cover you want. But the new WCF 2.0 site was shut down, but its in the process of returning soon. And also a few of my covers can be found at the older WCF site. Links to the WCF forums can be found on the right side under favorite links.

Now as for making covers your self. None of its easy when starting out if you don't know much about graphic design. But some tips on getting started, you need photoshop, or a program like it thats good, then you might need a dvd cover template which can be found at the WCF forums, then you will need some wrestler psd's (a file type for photoshop) those can be found at the psdprotolco site (link can be found by the WCF links) after that the best tip is if you don't know how to work photoshop, then look up some tips and tutorials on making simple stuff, and in no time you will know how to make something simple cover wise.

And other tips that noobs don't follow with covers are, make sure the colors are all right and the tone, meaning dont have some wrestler all dark and one all bright. Have both dark or bright and so on. Then make sure they are all sized up right, meaning don't have Rey Mysterio looking bigger then the Undertaker, unless its suppose to have an effect to look that way. Also make sure you don't stretch your images, and don't take a small low quality pic and make it look all huge on a cover.

Hope some of these tips help. And one last thing, the fulls of my covers are on the WCF forums, to just help in the smallest way to promote that site, its a awesome place, with quite a few very gifted cover makers.
