Gamecube Cover thread

[AppleQueso]

A little WIP of a little project I've started. Needing some feedback on it before I can really continue though:



Yup I'm planning a Resident Evil series set of covers. Basically I'm just asking for some general thoughts on how this is, and any suggestions on ways I could improve it.

[XanderBoy]

Are you planning on making the spines all match up?  Maybe if you did something similar to your Silent Hill series, you could put the biohazard or infectious disease image on the spine spanned over resident evil zero through 4.

[juan0tron]

Yeah, for the spine images, I say the umbrella logo would be perfect. Can't wait to see the others

[Doom]

Please keep the title for RE4 "4 Resident Evil". It looks great that way. Line up Resident Evil on the spine but have the four to the left like on the retail cover.

[AppleQueso]

Thanks guys. I'll definitely be considering the "Biohazard" symbol or the Umbrella logo.

I'll go ahead and try this, but it may look odd next to the rest of the covers. We'll see when I actually get to RE4.

[AppleQueso]

Haven't done anything with the back/spines yet. I want to get the fronts as good as I can first. I haven't gotten around to making anything for the code: veronica front yet other than the logo. Also still need to go back and add the "only for" banners to 0, 1, and 4.

and @doom, I didn't do the "4 resident evil" thing because it kinda broke up the consistency with the other covers. If you still want, I can make an alternate version with "4 resident evil".

[UncleBob]

Nice!
*almost* makes me want to pick up the other Resident Evil titles...

I really dig the style of those covers.  I love the consistency and the uniform look.
I also like how you kept the original "0" "2" "3" & "4" for the logos. (makes it uniform but still distinct)

Overall so far they look very nice.  Good Job AppleQueso

[XanderBoy]

Yeah, what Shenske said.  That looks awesome.  The color motif really suits the atmosphere of Resident Evil.

be warned even if you find 2 and 3  used in decent shape gamestop charged an arm and a leg for them last i checked  around 40+ dollars each.


and great work so far on those custom covers cant wait to see the completed package
 

[Doom]

no, it's fine.

That was the case with RE2 and 3 a few years ago, because they had a limited print run and were sort of rare. However, at some point capcom started putting them out again, and the prices dropped dramatically. They still hover a little over the $25 mark, but that's still much nicer than the 40+ they used to be.

Thank you everyone for the feedback.

Yeah, I'm starting to get pretty annoyed at gamestop for overpricing out-of-reach games. RE2 & 3 are still 40 bucks each. I did ask the guy at gamecrazy, and he says you could pick one up for about 12 bucks. Ugh, gamestop frustrates me..

Honestly, I stay away from gamestop with the exception of some bargain bin titles and the occasional game you can't find anywhere else. Can't beat picking up Metroid Prime for 5 bucks.

here's the front for Code: Veronica


and here's what I have so far on the spines:


I'm a tad iffy on the look of the spines, mainly because I can't seem to think of anything for Code: Veronica's spine (if anyone has any ideas there, please let me know.) I would like some input on this before I start on the backs.
