Custom VHS tape set as a christmas gift for my roommate (god I hope they arent in this sub LOL)

about 4 episodes per tape, plus End of Evangelion

Recorded with much trial & error, having gone through two secondhand VCRs that didnt work

While I designed the box art, I have to mention I was inspired by u/entombed_pit 's gorgeous and much more professional-grade custom work

  • Can I be your roommate

  • I guess this might not qualify for fan-art but it is fan-work! I apologize if I used the wrong flair. I didnt think merch applied, since it is unofficial 🙇‍♂️ The graphic design for the box art and labels were done by me, using only official art assets and screenshots.

  • If your friend isn't marrying you after this. Unfriend them.

  • That's a clean print. Did you do it at home or have them printed out by a professional print service?

    I made them at home, I am an artist who makes and sells my designs as stickers & art prints so I had all the equiptment ready to go.

    Still, it wouldn't be hard to make them on a home printer at decent quality though. You just need a nice quality matte (or glossy) sticker paper (I used HTVRONT matte which is available on amazon), or perhaps a photo-quality cardstock. Most printers are decent enough or at least have a better printing option built in for something like this, its the way regular paper takes ink thats kinda shitty.

    I applied the entire printed sticker page to my cardstock very carefully, then scored the back side with an exacto knife to fold into a box and put it together with double sided tape.

    Cool. I'll have to check out that sticker paper.

  • Too bad you couldn’t record them on orange juice colored tapes, the originals are white.

    parent

    ughhhh right!? I very badly wanted colored tapes, but I couldn't possibly thrift enough in time
