Threads of Fate Take 2. I went a bit beyond just brightening up the photos. I decided to look at using the original front and back again, and it turns out the cover scans worked out much better than anything else I found. It still had to be stretched some, but not nearly to the extent of the others. Unfortunately, the odd placement of some things on the back of it make that much more difficult to use. I added in some of the text I had left off previously and brightened up the artwork. I think this one turned out much, much better than before. I'm not the best at this nifty little 3D thing, so pardon my slightly off center looking cover. The image also makes the back a bit difficult to read. I was worried about that when I was creating it, but it seems to only be a monitor thing. With the cover printed out and in the case, it's not difficult to read at all. Now, if for some odd reason you were trying to read the back of the cover from several feet away, then it might be more difficult. Again, I really do appreciate anything you have to say, even if you're trying to make me cry. I intend to cover everything I have (got a loooooot of Super NES stuf to do :-\ ....or request), so I would hope that I can get better as I go. ;) |

Yumil, that's looks really good, but, if I really wanted to nit-pick I'd bemoan the lack of wrap-around cover art on the spine. Look at the BoF covers above, the wrap around art improves the custom covers big time IMO. As it is it looks really good, but why not go for the gusto? ;D |

Lumberjack42, those Breath of Fire covers are amazing. Nice work! |

Vicman, I almost ignored you. I too prefer to have the art wrap around the spine. I included this in the faded "take one" and removed it in "take 2" because the artwork just wouldn't play nice. It was much better quality than the previous stuff, but still wasn't quite what I needed to do whatever I wanted with it. I could have stretched it just a tad more and probably gotten away with fine quality, but the logo would have been off center and all wrong. So, I was ready to quit and then just happened to open up my copy of the game and saw my manual (which is, of course, the cover from the CD case) and noticed how....perfect it was. I've only had the game since about a week before Christmas, but whoever had it before me took amazing care with the manual. It looks like I bought a brand new game. And even though my previous scanning attempts ended in complete failure, I decided to give it one more shot. And, well, I couldn't be happier. 600dpi scan that required no upsizing, just a large amount of shrinking. Then I decided that I had an great image to work with, so why not give the vertical one a shot too? I saw that poll Shenske started about which people preferred, and saw the many complaints about how hard the vertical stuff was to work with. So, I found out for myself just how annoying it is, but also how much fun it could be. Unfortunately, my scan didn't just flop onto the area like it did before. Instead, I ended up with something that is far more custom, but I'm very pleased with it. So, thanks for nagging me, because I'm very pleased with the results of it. However, please no more because I hate reposting the same covers over and over and over again. Here's "take 3," the final one for Threads of Fate. I never imagined making these covers would be so much fun. I'm very pleased with myself right now. :D http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/Yumil1988.custom.ps1_threadsoffatehorizontal.jpg http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/Yumil1988.custom.ps1_threadsoffatevertical.jpg |
