Would my above Xbox cover be good enough for submission to the site?

Here is a preview of it:

Provide a link to the actual cover. We are unable to tell the quality from a preview.

He did, just on previous page.  ;D

Ok, here's my first stab at an Xbox cover. I also didn't know if anyone had the "Only on Xbox" symbol since it's not in the template I found on the site, so I included it.

Ah, didn't catch that. Odd that the same cover was over two posts ... I'll check it out this weekend

Thanks everyone. I just added it to a second post because I just got access to the preview program everyone uses. I'm a Mac user   ;)

Are you emulating Windows? Or have they finally ported the program over? I've been too busy to run bootcamp this week, but there are a few programs I need to have windows for, such as this.

No, I was using Bootcamp. I just don't like booting into Windows if I don't have to because all of my programs that I use on a regular basis (such as Photoshop) are on the Mac side.

Alrighty I'm going to start cracking at my to-do list.  :)

@tydyno
I looked over you NFL Fever 2002 cover and it looks great. It only has some minor moire effect that can be cleaned quite easily.  Instead of doing it myself i though i'd "teach a man to fish" instead.  Are you using photoshop to clean up the images you scanned?  If so it is a really easy fix to fix minor moire effect.

Simply go to the Filter => Noise => Despeckle (I would not recommend doing this more than 2 or 3 times though)
or
Filter => Blur => Glaussian Blur (select 1.0)

Those are the two easiest and fastest ways to fixing moire effect.  Sorry it took me so long to check the quality of the cover scanned but I currently only have open range internet at my new place (somewhere between dial up and the lowest of high speed internet).  Also, it is nice that your cover is in 800dpi but the final cover only needs to be 300dpi for the site. Look forward to seeing what other covers you make next!  :)

Thanks Shenske!

Here is the cleaned up and scaled down version of the cover. I like scanning at a high resolution because it gives me more to work with, but I totally forgot to scale it down. That sure explains the file size difference.  :)

Does anybody here have Call of Cthulhu? My case currently has one of the stupid Hollywood Video store custom covers on it, and it makes me sick.  :'( I can provide a raw scan of the Hollywood Video cover if someone needs it, because the front cover is still the same as the retail game, it's just the spine and the back that need to be re-made from scratch.

I found a cover which is for display only. It's missing the barcode but I'm pretty sure other than that it's identical to the retail cover.



Here's the full cover

This game is dirt cheap and I wasn't happy with the retail case so I whipped this up... I'm not sure how I feel about it though, so comments are appreciated.

Nothing wrong with the pack in cover, it looks way cool
