I'm not entirely sure where this would go so I'm putting it here; if I'm in the wrong spot, feel free to move it.

I've been thinking about making some cardstock slipcovers/sleeves for some of my games (like Gears of War/Halo/etc.), but does anyone know the best way to go about making them? I'm not too sure about dimensions at all and there don't seem to be any templates anywhere for folds and such.

Any help would be appreciated; thanks in advance!

also if there is anyone who's clueless as to what I'm talking about, here's a pic to illustrate:

These are mainly found on the metal cased collectors edition games, I've been interested in making these too.
I  say you should use 11 by 17 card stock and make your cover (or scan) and print out onto said card stock 11 by 17 paper.
How you find card stock 11 by 17 paper you ask? No Idea.

I was thinking about using two separate pieces of cardstock and attaching them together to make the slipcover. Problem is I don't know the dimensions for the spines/front. I'll just measure them and see what happens.

Also, I have that version of Gears 2. It's just a standard whitelabel copy inside of a Platinum Hits slipcover.
