I am going to re-visit the "Jeff Probst" back cover and possible put a survivor contestant instead.
Any thoughts?

I appreciate all your comments. I went back and looked at all the covers that I did and it turns out I did favor certain survivors or tribes more so on the
covers than others. For the covers I was limited to pictures that would fit in the respective areas that would show as much of the image as possible.

Ok, so I went back and changed out the Probst picture on the back of the first 4 seasons. I kind of like the new look. For the back I used a Survivor that was
not shown on the front.
I also added a preview of what these would look like side by side. Thoughts comments?

I don't really like how theres just a random Survivor on the back

Love how they look side-by-side! That would look really sharp as a big boxed set with all the seasons in it.
Not that I want Survivor to end anytime soon, but when it finally does I really really hope they release a big gift-pack or something with all the seasons in it like this. |

i love these covers. and i do agree that a big box set with slips like these inside would be idea. my only criticisms (along with a few other posters'),
are that more ogakor is needed on the outback box, the samburu tribe should probably be on the back of the africa box (and yeah, the dimensions may not be
proportional, but just for consistency), the survivor shot on the back of the cover should, in my opinion, still be jeff (though maybe use a different shot of
him for each box. like the promo shot of him with the location's scenery in the background, or maybe an action shot of him, etc.), and the "outwit,
outplay, outlast" is a little awkward being front and center on every single box. though, i can see if nothing was there, it would be a bit bland.

I like it with Probst on the back. And the fact that there is no "winner top center" to spoil the show for everyone that buys it and has never seen
it. Granted most people might not notice, but in a show like this having a select few on the cover gives it away for anyone that wants to watch it for the
first time.
Plus the color scheme fits Survivor better as a whole. This design would be great for a boxed set of all the seasons. |

Love the input guys. I really appreciate it all!
Now that I look at the changes I made, I think I still like the Probst back covers a little more. I will make a few more changes and post again for you all to see and comment. I will fix the cover for outback aswell |

You should put a picture of the immunity idol on the back.
or a picture of Probsts during that season. |

I agree with the cast photo idea, or maybe a different picture of Jeff each time, although John Carroll does look great in his picture.

I wouldn't mind Jeff being on the back if it wasn't the same picture on every box. If you're gonna keep it as Jeff on the back, it would be cool if
his picture was always his promo shot from that seasons Tribal Council set.

As for the cast photo for each, what I have tried to do is for the 2 small framed images is to put an image of each tribe, so that would be the cast photo. In some cases, ie: ASS had 3 tribes, COOK ISLAND had 4 tribes, I have put challenge images with as many members of the tribes as possible. I will post new ones soon. Keep the comments coming. Also, if anyone wants copies of the finished products I am willing to email the files once I am done. Just send me a private message with your email address. |

You posted the same idea as soon as I did.

The back should be some kind of group action shot in a cool challenge (working Jeff in) or tribal council. Australia needs Ogakor (3/4ths of the F4) on the
cover. Other than that it looks flawless.

My only real complaint is that "Survivor" isn't mentioned at all on the spine. Even if you just include a tiny logo of the season under the CBS
logo, I think that would help.
Otherwise I think these are way better than the originals. Though I do agree that you should try to add photos of most, if not all of the cast members from each season. I kinda lol'ed when I saw Debb and Diane prominently featured on the covers of their seasons. |

Seasons 1 through 10
I know some still have some flaws, ie: too many of one tribe on the cover, no tribe pictures on the back, etc, but I used what I had to work with. Again, I appreciate the comments.

Nice job, DC. Lol @ Cook Islands being "the most unique season yet." Anyways, only nitpick-y suggestion that I have: does Cook Islands use the same
location shot on the back as Borneo? And were you not able to find two different PI location shots to use on PI v. All-stars much like you did Palau v. Micro?
I think it looks better as a whole when they're different.
