Title: Cases That Need to Be Touched Up or Redone
Post by: wingzrow on November 26, 2012, 06:45:42 PM
Pretty much what the topic says. Point out what covers have flaws & need to be touched up or completely redone.

These can be done by anyone, and since they're not specifically for me, there's no rush to get them done. Feel free to post any cases you feel should be redone here.

SEGA GENESIS
Phantasy Star IV: Very Visible Cardboard bending on spine

SUPER NINTENDO
Super Castlevania IV: Much too Dark

NINTENDO 64

Mario Golf (Retail): Horrible Low Quality Scan, entire case needs to be redone.
Transformers Transmetals: Low Quality Scan
Super Bowling: Large Sticker on Front of Case Art
Pokemon Stadium 2 (Retail): Vertical bars across entire case, new scan needed?

Also, Geist for the GameCube and Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox Original are too bright and need to be darkened.
Good thread idea.

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the vertical covers for SNES Chrono Trigger and SNES Mega Man X have some typos/missing text on the back cover.


Mega Man X Vertical

http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=7637

Mega Man X Retail

http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=471

A whole line of text is missing from the second paragraph and makes the text difficult to understand.


Chrono trigger Vertical

http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=7501

Chrono Trigger Retail

http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=488

This one is very minor, simply a spelling error.  "The" is misspelled in the end of the first paragraph.


Not sure if anyone actually cares about this, it's just something I've noticed.

Just goes to show how little I seem to care about the minor details, so long as it has front artwork and the spine done so its sits uniformly on my shelf I am content lol

Yup, exactly ;D

Just another reason that I abandoned all the jibber jabber on the back.  Am I trying to sell the game to myself? LOL!

I know that one is going to be fun to touch up since the original box is metallic and makes it hard to scan. So someone would have to get creative on designing that one from scratch while keeping the retail look.

This one is simple. Could someone spell check & redo the back text for the kirby's dream land 3 cases? Both versions list King Dedede as " Kind Dedede"

How did you manage that so quickly? Makes me feel like I could do this sort of thing myself if I had the right tools. That way I wouldn't need to ask you guys so much.

I was editing another cover at the time you left your message ;)
Didn't do anything special, just re-typed the text as you suggested.

EDIT: I'm going to replace the horrible dented seal of quality used on the hosted cover if you guys don't mind.

The seal of quality? Yeah, I guess that's fine.

What was wrong with the old one?

Is this the eBay seller guy asking to have the cover fixed to make more $$$$?

I pulled that off eBay, I was hoping I could send it to someone online to have it shipped to me when I noticed the back had typos.

Is that against the rules here?

There aren't any places that can have these printed up for me around here, and I would rather not buy 100 of these just to box a few dozen games.

I think the Sonic & Knuckles art has a typo on the back. Says "Lock on technologoy" instead of technology.

I've been wanting to redo the Sonic and Knuckles box. The logo isn't the original or has been changed. None the less, I'd like to see look identical to the original. It's just off.
