I have no idea how to use this site//this is my first blog post

It’s about fake Criterion covers.

As someone really into movies and design, it’s only natural I should like The Criterion Collection as much as I do.  If you don’t know, they’re video distribution company that focuses on older, foreign-er, art-ier movies (and Armageddon).  Their releases are always packed with commentaries and editorials and special features and all that good stuff, so you never have to feel bad when you’re shelling out the extra 15 dollars for one of their dvds (unless it’s Armageddon).  Even better, their covers are always really really cool– dope, even (not Armageddon though, not sure what happened there).
These are 10 good ones, as decided by someone else.  But to be fair, you could pick 10 random covers and come up with 10 good ones (unless you wound up getting Armageddon).

Anyway, there’s a blog that features a bunch of user-submitted designs for Criterion Covers that don’t, and likely won’t, exist. Some of them are almost as bad as the movie itself, sure, but sometimes you find a gem
