SNES REQUESTS!!!! (Updated feb 23th)
shenske:
We'll have to look it over when you upload it.
Before you do though i noticed a few things from your preview image;
1. Back legal text says the game was made by Nintendo, should be THQ
2. I would suggest putting a drop shadow behind the game information text. Generally set the drop distance to "0" so it has an equal darkness around the text.
3. Product Number (SNES P RV), why did you change the font and size of that text? All the other cover have the default size to keep consistency. We need to make sure all the covers follow the same format

just woke up. need my coffee.
1. ja, i forgot about the legal info. Glad you mentioned it.
2. i use a shadow but it may be different effect in PhotoImpact. I have Photoshop Elements which was bundled with my Sketchbook Pro software. I can always try that with your template (Shenske's SNES Template .psd file.)
3.actually, i always have trouble with the template because of so many layers and i have no idea what is the correct vertical layout. I just look at what everyone else is doing. Funny thing about the font, i downloaded the Home Alone 2 cover that Arseen linked to. I thought that he had made it. I tried to match the font and positioning. I used Arial Black.
I can try the template again today and save it as a .psd file.

I think I did Least I started, not sure did someone finish it before me.
But, yeah on some older covers I did vary quite a bit.
I try to be more consistent nowadays.
