Title: Wiggy Portable Covers
Post by: wiggy on December 13, 2012, 02:39:32 AM
SLOWLY been converting these from AI to PSD files.  Here's what I've got done so far.  They're PSD files with individual layers for the various colors.  Not every system has every color variant.  For some, like the SP, there are dozens upon dozens of variants.  If you want a specific color that isn't in the file, then let me know and I'll try and get that taken care of for ya'.

Here are ALL of them thus far (all in one ZIP file).

Gameboy
Gameboy Color
Gameboy Advance
Gameboy Advance SP
Gameboy micro
DS lite
3DS
Nomad
Retrogen
Neo Geo Pocket (color and "mini" color)
WonderSwan
WonderSwan Color
SwanCrystal
PSP
Pocketstation (https://www.box.com/s/tlhbc291r9xw1a2v3xe7)

The ZIP file is about 45mb, so just be warned ahead of time.

More to come as I get around to converting the files...

What size paper you printing these on chief?

Also....PSP/Pocket/Light!

They fit on the legal size just fine.  I've been using my usual Super B size cut in two (9.5"x13")


I'm working on the rest. You know I've made em all, just need to get them into PSD format...

Legal Size? You Americans and your crazy measuring.

Mind uploading your vectors to? Gunna make a few modifications for mine.

the right side of the DSlite is cut off a bit.

Looking great. Though I don't know if I'll be using those for two reasons:
1) I only have one handheld - GBC.
2) I play that one all the time, so it's always out in the open.
But nonetheless I like'em.

the right side of the DSlite is cut off a bit.

No it isn't. It just looks that way in the preview (I assume that you're talking about the spine image).

Hey, I don't use it, so don't blame me :P

You want the AI files for all the portables and covers instead of these fidly PSD files?  I just assume that people won't know how to deal with Illustrator, so I don't bother.

That's just the preview.  The full-size doesn't have that issue ;)

LOL!  Well, get some more ;D

Thanks!

My Black UGC's fit all of those systems perfectly (except the original gameboy).

Such a waste of 2 perfect clear UGC's =(
Title: Re: Wiggy Portable Covers
Post by: wiggy on December 13, 2012, 02:24:46 PM
OH yeah, cause they're super rare :P

The doubles can be nice because you can easily fit AC adapters and such in em as well as the console itself.  I know a lot of 'em will fit in singles, but that's just not as much fun.  Plus, they're consoles, they deserve that extra shelf space ;)

Yeah .ai is fine for me. I'm pretty well versed across PS, Illustrator, InDesign so its all good.
Title: Re: Wiggy Portable Covers
Post by: irvgotti452 on December 13, 2012, 04:25:14 PM
I'd like the .ai for the Gameboy DMG (fat). Personal use only, you know I'm not gonna sell it and claim it as mine ;).

Post by: palmer6strings on December 13, 2012, 04:42:37 PM
Well if I'm able to get my Mac after tax returns I will prolly be using illustrator and photoshop so I'll hit you up later for that. ;)
Title: Re: Wiggy Portable Covers
Post by: wiggy on December 13, 2012, 05:07:44 PM
Ok, I'll up the AI files when I get home.  That'll make my life a lot easier to be honest.

Great as usual. Looking forward to seeing these with the double UGCs you made for me!

I almost wouldn't mind seeing matching covers for console controllers that fit in a double UGC, like NES, SNES, Genesis, Super Game Boy Controller, etc.

As a side note, what do you use to cut your covers out? Do you use some kind of cutter, or just do it by hand with scissors?

I was really close to making controller cases right before I made my giant drawer o' controllers LOL!

Just an Xacto, straight edge, and cutting mat ;)

Glad to see folks getting use from the files :)

I updated the SP file.  It now includes the metallic pink and light blue colors.  

Also uploaded ALL the AI file format covers.  I'll get PSDs up eventually, but those of you that have Illustrator and don't know how to use it, now would be a good time ;)  Also, Illustrator does a FAR superior job handling colors over Photoshop and ANY of the freeware out there.  Printing from Illustrator all the time isn't a bad idea and you can open PSDs and JPGs in it.

Hey Wig, feel like editing your GB Pocket case a little? Need some graphics for my GB Light.
Title: Re: Wiggy Portable Covers
Post by: wiggy on January 29, 2013, 11:51:52 AM
Yeah, sure.  Which color is yours?  Gold, silver? Weren't those the two options?
Title: Re: Wiggy Portable Covers
Post by: Azarkhel on January 29, 2013, 04:10:31 PM
I've got silver, but colour isn't necessary. I'm using all your graphic elements except the little colour spine picture.
Title: Re: Wiggy Portable Covers
Post by: SasoriSoren on February 23, 2013, 12:15:34 PM
Have you thought about making some of these for the variant WonderSwans?

Crap, forgot I still owe you this.  Hold on...

I did a couple.  The weird Digimonster or whatever it is orange and the FF limited edition.  Just never put them into the file.  Again, hold on...
