Is it fair to say that...
Seymor Onion:
What say ye? :)
Superchop:
I voted yes just because this site is full of talented artists. Although, due to uniformity a lot of covers will follow each specific template so there's only so much outside the box thinking that will take place. But if asked to make a custom cover that doesn't follow the templates, I'm sure that a lot of unique and great covers will be created.
wiggy:
Without trying to insult anyone at all, I'd say no, not everyone is able to.
With that said, I don't think all are actively trying to. I think many folks really wanna just have a near copy of what would have come with the games they own, and that's perfectly fine.
There are some really talented folks here, and you can watch a lot of em get better with every cover. When I look at some of the really old covers I've downloaded from the site versus stuff from users like Segamer, Wolf, Larry, and many others, I'm blown away. And of course the work from the vets is always top notch. Shenske is still cranking out amazing quality work after 6 years of doing it. Some of this stuff is hands down BETTER than the original while replicating it to the last detail.
Now if we could just get more of you guys to start using Illustrator or some other vector-based soft...
palmer6strings:
Ya, I'll be most likely going to illustrator when I get my Mac.

I can't comment as I can't contribute on the design portion of this site, it's something that I am sure I could eventually learn but would never master as I just don't have that artistic/innovative nature in that spectrum.
