Both templates have the basic design down, the red stripe and such and basic Seals.

The only thing to add to both of them would probably be more icons or something, I think the horizontal one is missing most of the front icons (Players, Rumble Pak Ect). The Vertical one is mostly complete, I might clean up the layers and such but I don't think anything needs to be added to it or modified.

I'll overlook them to double check.

The horizontal template seems to have a bunch of extraneous layers and a SNES template.

Would it be cool to request a few covers in addition? It would be awesome to see some covers done for these quality titles:

Diddy Kong Racing
Gauntlet Legends
Turok 1 & 2

Would this spine be better? (Sorry it's been a while life kept getting in my way.)

imho it looks pretty good Sega, did you resize the title to make it stand out more on the spine? I really like haveing that nice and big and easy to see.

Ya, originally I had stretched the title but that distorted some of them. Once I get official approval I'll go ahead and do this with the other ones I've submitted.

Probably not because you are using full spine.  You can see in this image:



The usable spine is a portion of the actual spine.

Looks good, though the green color is a bit off. I included (I think) a gradient map color guide for the spine in the template, here it is again.



Also you should add a drop shadow.

I use Gimp so I'm not quite sure how to use this gradient. Can you explain?

How about this? I think I got it this time. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qcjzfjvg65ioas1/BB_BanjoKazooie_V%20proto.jpg?dl=0

Spine looks good. As long as you follow those guidelines I posted everything should be fine.

Guys (and ladies) please respond within 3 days of this post if you still want to do the cover art you signed-up for. If not I will be removing everyone who doesn't respond. We are going to be listing the N64 cases for sale on site, even though we barely have any art. We are going to make cover art production open to our customers and FB/Twitter followers as well. So I want to purge the list of any that signed-up, but do not have the time or do not want to do them anymore. We have been sitting on these cases forever now, we feel that maybe opening cover art up to more people and selling them will move cover art production along.

I may whip up a Generic Cover, but I'm too busy with school, work and my YouTube channels for at least a month to do much else. Maybe I can help with "quality control" on the Facebook Covers.

How much have I accumulated of store credit from SNES to N64? I should use some of it . . .
