But my work is usually refused for not being high enough quality. Here is the image, can someone help me figure out what i need to change? I'm using the SNES template in photoshop I got on this site.

One big problem I see right away are the edges on the front cover around B.O.B. They are very jagged and you can tell it was done freehand. On the lower right side the white boarder is also missing.

The front cover B.O.B was taken directly from the genesis cover on this site. http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=4095

 The background I can fix, but where does it look jagged?

How does this look? http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=bngjh1c6z7fpzr0&thumb=6

Let me start by saying that I have no idea what the admin's standards are when accepting or rejecting a cover.

That being said I can tell that you used the blur tool to fix the jagged edges. I'm not sure which would be more of a problem to the admin's Now that I know that you took that from the Genesis cover I understand why the white boarder is missing below the gun. I would consider adding that in or getting rid of the boarder all together.

I would love to hear a cover admin's insight.

Just from taking a look at your original - it's mostly very good.  But i am going to point out why it may not be accepted in detail.

Couple of issues as pointed out - the white frame around the main image needs completint at the bottom

the cutting out around the gun is a little messy (not much, but still) - i think thats what was meant by looking freehand and 'jagged' (also the frame by BOBs butt has some lingering black on it.  Also - the overall quality of the BOB image on the front is a little suspect.  It may pass.......

Also - some easy to fix bits.....

On the front cover - There is a grey artifact to the left ot the red line

The UPC is for a different SNES game (i think Marvel Superheroes war of the Gems)

The code SNS-P-ACTE is for another game too (Chrono Trigger?)

The 1st screenshot on the right doesn't fit the frame properly

A few black rogue pixels next to BOB's antennae on the back.

Spelling on the back:
when the - the W should be capital
hostle - should be hostile
extream - should be extreme
hel - should be help

Overall it's looking good though - i am pretty sure if you tidy those up it will be accepted
