Title: Request - Custom Mass Effect 1 PS3 case art
Post by: satoshi_matrix on December 15, 2012, 12:25:47 AM
I'm looking to request someone with photoshop magic skills to create a custom, but retail-looking PS3 cover for the Mass Effect 1 that comes with the Mass Effect Trilogy.

I'm already a huge fan of the series and own both ME2 and ME3 on PS3 already, but I'll gladly buy the boxed trilogy set so I can get a PS3 Disc-based ME1, something I never thought would happen. I know I can get it on PSN, but I want a physical copy.

The problem is that the trilogy comes in one of those fold out collector's edition packages and I'd much prefer to just use a standard PS3 blu ray game case like ME2 and ME3.

As I say, I'd like the look to be as retail as possible, matching the same design as the cases for ME2 and ME3, especially in the spines. I want the spines of all three games to match up.

Not a big deal if not possible, but I always play Femshep so some sort of retail looking Femshep art would be preferred over typical male shep.

Anyway, thanks in advance!

If no one does this for you, I'll make it for you next week.

Yes! That's a great start! Except that the cover art there is ME3's art, and the EA logo should be on their circular design and at the bottom of the spine and the back is completely blank, but I'm sure you'll fill that in later. This is a great thing to see!

I was aware that the back of the cover had no text when I went to posted it. It was a work in progress.
Here's is the Mass effect cover with some  text at the back. I am not finished the cover yet.

Very nice cover but I think he's looking for something more authentic. Using a scan of the PC version of Mass Effect would work.

Not sure why you have EDI and Javik on the cover of ME1 when they weren't introduced as playable characters till ME3. It looks good, but the cover should represent the game inside.

That looks pretty good, but a couple of things to point out:

That cover is cool, but its yet another one for ME3. If you can't find one with Femshep, then just use the standard male shep art from ME1.

To maintain the retail look, the circular EA logo should be below the Mass Effect logo on the spine, not above it. It should be just above the 1 Blu Ray disc stamp.

To my eye, the colors of the fonts you've used do not work well with the background image. You need to either dim the background or change the font color. That's not gonna look good when printed out as it is now.

I'm not sure if I got the spine to match up. I used a scan of the pal version of ME3 for comparisons. Let me know.

UPDATE: I received emails asking for a few updates. Such as providing a bar code, BLUS NUMBER, HARD DRIVE SPACE, ETC... HOPEFULLY THIS IS BETTER.

I like it except for the front cover art you used.

I don't know if this is possible given the resolution, but I'd like this ME1 fanart for the cover if it's not too small to be used.

Satoshi! nice to see you on here, love your youtube channel, bought a Hori N64 controller from your review.

Is that fanart from DeviantArt or something? You could contact the original artist and ask them if they have a higher resolution file that you could use for a custom Mass Effect game case, and even send them the finished product for themselves to use as a return on their investment.
