Game Case World - product review
Forte:
A well spent 10 dollars on the lulz :D

Well hey, look at it this way - this proves that anyone with any standard big name printer, OEM ink, and half decent paper can do a hell of a lot better than this guy! ;D
Arseen:
I just checked the cover and it's unusable as is.
- Gray bars in back cover's background will dissapear when printed, they are too dark.
- White back texts is choppy.
- Only for Nintendo triangle is fuzzy and too bright.
- Blue monster is dotty.
I know this was just quick demonstration on how to better it, but would you mind re-doing this well, as I'd like to have this as a alternate in the collection.
Thank you.

Yup, not hard for most anyone to make at least the same quality as this is, and making something better would only take a short trip to Staples or Office Max.
I was always suspicious of the claims regarding paper quality and whatnot, and this really showed that I was right to think that the quality is pretty far from what's advertised.

The gray bars that make up the SNES logo? If so, they're just as light as they are in The template. I already printed a copy off and it looks fine to me.
Choppy? That text is actually cleaner than the printout that I got. I'm not gonna interested in hunting down that font and re-type it all. I sharpened up quite a bit.
I could add the vector "only for N" that I made I suppose. The seal of quality and Super Nintendo type on the front and spine are the worst offenders IMO. I know they were added a long time ago before vectors were either available or built.
Dotty? Like a mezzo effect? I honestly didn't take a very hard look at the artwork. It was sort of the least of my concerns.
I'll try and clean it up tonight. Shenske's template occasionally makes my computer go freakin' nuts, and today was one of those times, so I stopped tinkering with it before I threw the stupid thing out the window (the computer that is). It's prolly because I'm stuck using CS2 on my box since windows 7 decided that it won't let me install CS4 or 5 for whatever reason. Stupid 64-bit OS grumble grumble.
