Title: Cover quality upgade requests
Post by: Arseen on January 25, 2014, 03:02:48 PM
In this topic you can request quality upgrades to the covers posted on the site.
Request to upgrades to a cover on the boards, request it in the topic where the cover was found.

To request upgrades you must:
- Provide high quality raw material. If you don't have it request it first on the boards, then when you get it, make the request privuding the raw material.
- Give link to the cover you want upgraded. This ensures that we upgrade correct cover as there can be several variations.
- Be patient as fullfilling request can take time.
- For the cover be replaced it has to be improved considerably and meet the current standarts. Minor updates is not worth the hassle of what it takes to replace the cover.

Quick clean ups and a bit of cleaning doesn't really sound replacement worthy to me. Replacement covers must be according to our high standards now in place. What sense would it make to replace an old not so hot cover with a slightly improved one?

Agreed, and added 4th rule.
Every mod is free to add rules.

I have that version stored on my computer, but when I downloaded the cover today twice, the back cover's text was fuzzy midway down.

So I don't know if it is just my personal opinion or if it's a common thing, but I noticed a few covers were quite dull when printing and I played with the hue/saturation in photoshop to get them a little more brighter and vibrant. I don't know if its just my personal preference as I seem to like brighter more "popping" colors.

One that really stood out to me was Gyromite

TheCoverProject's Upload:

My Increased Saturation Gyromite:

When I printed the first cover, it was a little difficult (but still legible) to read the text on the back of the UGC. The Second was easier to read and defiantly matched the label on the game (as far as color) better.

I know a lot of you make your own custom covers, I would love to do that when I have some time. but so far, the site, covers, and community on here have all been overall really great :)

Tennis is another strange one, with hard to read text.

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m11/Grax911/nes_Tennis.jpg (http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m11/Grax911/nes_Tennis.jpg)

tried to fix up the back a little here -

other's I noticed were...

10 Yard Fight
http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=3042
it has really dark Nintendo seals and almost illegible on the back cover.

Slalom
http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=5332
back cover text is okay, but could be better. Nintendo Seal's do not match in color. (are they supposed too?)

Not sure if you bothered to view the cover in question, but it's pretty bad:

http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=5680 (http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=5680)

It's hard to believe that any standards were place for its approval. The graphics are blurry, the logos are crooked, and there's ugly cloning throughout the spines. I've touched it up myself, so if anyone else if looking for a better one, here it is. Note that mine has a second spine to be printed and scored like the original boxes:
