PSOne DVD Cover Project

Lumberjack42, are you using Shenske's template for the horizontal/vertical Playstation covers? I wouldn't want to print out a few from him and a few from you and have any differences in the templates.

his is a modified version of my template.

as far as the black template goes he changed the white square behind the PS logo on the spine to black.  He also moved around the whole text pattern i had. 

The way i designed the back black info bar was to avoid empty black space.  He changed it to reflect the PS cd case style stretching across the very bottom.

They are pretty much the same thing.

Meh, good enough.

Hey,

First time postin' my full custom PSOne DVD case. I wanted to start doing these to match my MGS from the Trilogy Pack. This one is for Brave Fencer Musashi (one of my favorites) since I didn't like the ones already submitted. I would like to get feedback on if there is anything else I could add. This is a tough project due to the aspect ratio, I wanted to get the screens to show but it would smash the image. The cover is also custom made since I couldn't find a good way to position my raw. For example, the title on the cover I had to make from scratch using a skeleton of the official logo.



I would love to get some feedback before I upload. Also, since this is a two disc set (game + ff8 demo) I went out today to get a clear DVD 2-disc case. I'm thinking of printing this off with the inside art on the opposite side of the cover art. That way it's like the Jewel case where you had the art behind the discs.

Oooh, I really like that. Brave Fencer Musashi was a great game. I'd suggest making the PS logo on the spine have a black background so it matches up with most of the other PS1 cases on here. However, that's more of a taste thing I suppose.

[sorwah]

Yeah, I'm just going by the MGS case that was released in the MGS Trilogy set. It has the white symbol on the spine, the way the spine and the vert is is exactly how the MGS one is, minus the E rating & SLUS numbers of course. Thanks for the feedback too.

Edit: Yeah! I was able to print out some test pages (the printer I have here doesn't let me print outside the margins) until I get back to my other place.

The front cover (cut cuz again margins): Here
The back cover (my friend's camera sucks): Here
The inside with Art, Instruction manual, & Game: Here
Manual out to see art: Here
FF8 demo: Here
Art behind demo: Here

Thanks to the admins for keeping this site up.

Yeah, the official release of MGS had a white background.  Also, most covers on the site have a white backgorund, to my knowledge only SMMM and Lumberjack use/used the Black background way.  Like you said its more a taste thing.


@sorwah
good job on the cover i think it looks great.  just curious, did you use my template for the cover?

[sorwah]

Yeah I did. It was a pain to use haha, not because It wasn't designed right. Just I use Paint Shop Pro. So it didn't see the "folders" for the Layers. I had to manually delete the folders (it thought a folder name was a layer). Crazy stuff like that. I also had to recolor the memory card spot since it's a pink color on all my game cases. What font did you use for all the stuff? I used Arial for the SLUS numbers.

By the way, I uploaded the cover just waiting for it to be accepted I guess. http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/Sorwah.custom.ps1_custom_ps1_bravefencermusashi.jpg

I'm hitting the sack, I haven't slept in 37 hours. Up all last night working on that thing haha. Fun times.

i'm about 95% sure i used arial aswell. When making my templates i try to use really common font so people don't have to search for the same font.

Well I guess it seemed like most of them to me because most of my covers are actually from SMMM or Lumberjack.

the black square vs white square thing isn't a big deal though. Heck even MSPaint could be used to correct that if you prefer it the other way. I'm still not sure whether I'm going to change them to all white or all black myself before I print them out or not.

Hey LJ, after skimming this thread and seeing Doom's response about you using a Final Fantasy styled font, i got to wondering if you have Runic MT Condesnsed (the actual FF Font) and if not, if you'd like it.

Shoot me a PM or post here if you do and i'll be glad to send it your way.

[AppleQueso]

You know what'd make that set of covers even more awesome? If you made a Chrono Cross one to match the Chrono Trigger. <3

That's not a bad idea. I'll do that and FF:Tactics in that style as well.

Lumberjack42

I'm curious, Lumberjack, are you still planning on doing this?

I'm pretty sure that with those you'll have more or less the entire FF collection cased in your style.
