Title: Request - Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games - Wii - NA - Retail
Post by: benpcahill on April 14, 2018, 03:25:57 PM

I recently bought the Wii game Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games and I cannot find a cover for it. Does anyone have this or is willing to make it?

Thanks!

I'll try uploading it to the site.

Are you going to attempt to clean it up before trying to upload, because I will say right now it wont be accepted as is

What do you mean by "clean it up"? It looks perfect to me...  :-\

I haven't attempted to upload covers before so I'm likely just unaware...

I opened the image in GIMP and changed the image size according to:

GIMP
->Image
-> Image Size...

I used the dimensions listed here as reference:
http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=39.msg163#msg163 (http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=39.msg163#msg163)
Inches = 10.75 x 7.15 (DVD case is 10.75 x 7.18)

The cover was scanned at 398 dpi, as I believe that scans are only accepted if they are at least 300 dpi. So I figured that I checked off all of the requirements. Please let me know if I'm missing anything! I hope to help anyone else out that may need it in the future...

We don't scan a cover, resize it, and then plop it on the website.  It needs cleaned up...

I appreciate the scan, but... it looks like garbage and I am just letting you know that the cover will be rejected without the admin replying back saying why it was denied

I think I see the smudges that you are referring to that need to be "cleaned up". I didn't notice them before. No idea how to fix that, but I'll look into what I could do with photo editing.

Thanks for the input.

Found this tutorial that may help me with cleaning up the image.

I'll try to post what I have after cleaning.

Just wondering if anyone had any clean images. Thanks.
