*** Done***Prequest(is that a word) - Link's Crossbow Training custom cover
Jeffrey:
It seems that Nintendo is putting all games included with accessories/consoles into cardboard sleeves. I think that for some strange reason, Nintendo thinks that they cannot afford to put every game into a case. Or maybe Nintendo thinks that the included games are not worthy of a case because they are more like mini games than complete games. Any way you think of it, it still isn't a good excuse.
Thank God for the Cover Project! ;D
UncleBob:
Again, I encourage everyone to send Nintendo well thought out e-mails expressing your displeasure with the cardboard sleeves....
I appreciate your taking the time to share your comments with us regarding the cardboard sleeve that was used to package Link's Crossbow Training. Rest assured that your e-mail will be forwarded on to the appropriate department for further review.

shenske, great work on the cover. I made a few minor adjustments if anyone is interested.
The modifications totaled as follows...
- The side bar had an artifact under "Link's" which I removed along with a few other nits that I don't remember the location of.
- The back text was a scan of Super Mario Galaxy... which is fine however:
* The background of that scan was not white, but rather gray that noticeably stuck out when I viewed it on screen. I fixed that .
* I replaced the UPC of SMG with that of the "Wii Zapper + Link's Crossbow Training" along with a [Not for Resale] overlay. That way if anyone likes to scan there covers into a database it should work. I didn't bother changing the text next to the UPC. (as it still reads "RVL P RMGE USZ" which is SMG and not "RVL R RZPE USZ".... but, well the work to change that wasn't worth it )
- Added a 3 px white boarder followed by a 3 px light gray boarder to make it easier to cut.
Printed it on silk paper at OfficeMax. Turned out a little on the dark side, but overall the clarity of the print is much better than what I can get out of my HP 712c. If you hold the case up to SMG you'll see that the Wii Logo is a notably darker gray than that found on the SMG box. I don't know if that the result of the Office Max printing equipment or software, or if the original needs a gamma boost. The quality is excellent though. (Note there is NO correction to the gamma in the PNG file linked above)
Doom:
That's how you introduce yourself. Nice job.

?? Not sure if that was directed at me.... I'll note that the cover I linked to is NOT meant to be a submission to the site, but rather a submission to the original author and the users of this forum. Feedback on the original work if you will.
Anyways, my first cover here was that of a CD cover to Wii Sports, and was thinking of doing the same for Link's Crossbow Training if anyone is interested.
