If Shameless had any sense, they'd throw this cover in the trash and use original posters! But I guess they don't, and won't.

I kind of feel sorry for whoever had to put this together - they clearly had a limited range of images to photoshop around with. But yeah, the words "polish" and "turd" come to mind...

I get that they don't have the budget for shiny new art, but they do have a range of folk on here who I'm sure would've been willing to produce something for a nominal fee . . .

I don't see the point tbh, plenty of posters to use for both sides.

True, but if they're sticking with the idea of new art for side A...

I agree though, for Shameless I reckon a choice of original posters would be better than these shoddy mockups . . .

Yea, it's easy to overlook that sometimes.
Even the best of graphic designers need half decent images to begin with.

I hardly do any freelance these days, but on the rare occasion when someone asks if I'd do something, high quality images/stills is the first thing I ask about.

I'm pretty late to this party, but that cover is amazing. What are they thinking?

The cover reminds me a bit of that 'loool' meme.

But here's a very quick mock-up I threw together, just to show how easy it is to come up with something a little better. It's not perfect, but you get the idea...

I like it but I think it gives too much of the plot away!

And he must have a really long arm to reach under the boat and stab from underneath while looking in to it
