TyrannicalFascist:
So I decided it's way past time for me to do my own take on this one.

SUPER MARIO WORLD

As usual these days, I couldn't decide and made two background color options, inspired by the ground colors in the game. Which to pick... :-\

I like the tan one :)

larryinc64:
I like the tan one, but maybe a slightly diferent shade.
If yo are using the SMW cover from the site, I made a new one with sharper art, and I got the logo separated if you want to use the one not from the game title screan.

Blumpkin:
They both look sharp, good job.

TyrannicalFascist:
Back from the dead! :o

So I haven't had much time for cover making in a long while, mostly due to work and other goings-ons. I have a little free time here, and I'm thinking about trying out StoneAgeGamer's BitBoxes for NES games.

I thought I'd give a shot at converting my old Nintendo Fusion covers to fit these cases. I did a little future-proofing and tested SNES and N64 as well. Here's what I came up with: (note the previews are not exactly the right dimensions, just what was closest in Imandix)

So first of all, the front and backs were pretty much a matter of resizing them. On the front I extended the left side color to keep the aspect ratio the same. On the back, I created a little banner with the BitBox logo and the url for TheCoverProject.

The spines had to be remade, but this gave me an opportunity to change some things. For one, I added gradient fades to the spines along the spine curve (thanks to StoneAgeGamer's dimensions). I also decided a while back that having all N64 covers have Red/Green spines was not to my liking, so I changed it to Red/White (thanks to feedback from Wiggy a while back). I feel like you can see the game logo more clearly now.

Finally, after looking at my collection of GB/GBC/GBA games with characters at the bottom of the spines, I decided that I wanted to showcase a portion of the game's box art at the bottom to make it more visually interesting and for even easier identification. As great as a front or back is, the spine is what you see 99% of the time if you have your games on a shelf like me.

Nothing finalized yet, but just wanted to share this experiment so far.

EDIT: Some spines in a row from the same system. Also a test of a Gamecube cover (for storing accessories; probably would use NES case).
