So here is my first cover (of many i plan to make). I have minimal Photoshop skills but I'm happy with what I made but I know i could improve so let me know what I could do better.

I'll check it when I get home, but what I can see from preview, the green text goes out of bound, so either adjust the spacings Between white/yellow and yellow/green) or drop font size to fit the text completely on the gray bars.

This is a small recommendation I would change the colour of the font on the back of the your cover so it's easier to read.

No objection to alternate cover with all white text.

Also, I would recommend the font just decreasing the font size or spacing between the text just a bit.

I'll change it all to white, I was trying to make it easier to read. I could remove all the green text and make the font bigger on everything else.  or should I keep everything?

Can't access the file.

Give share link instead of copying address line.

Alright since this cover wasn't available I took a shot at it.  None of it is my own work aside from shopping things together. I also made a matching label.

I suggest giving a stroke or Drop shadow to the text on the back of your covers, It's hard to read.

Thanks for the advice, I think it made a real difference I thought it was just my eyes but now I can read the back so much better! :) So here are the text edits.

Alright so I didn't like the US version of Out Run that wasn't the site so I decided to remake it. First time I used Illustrator but I'm happy with the results.
