I'm requesting an alternative cover art of the Fatal Frame 1 game.  The back is fine, I just hate the front cover with that severed head and the spine it matches.  Plus the font is so generic, can anyone help with this?  I want the front cover to do more with the game, also if the game logo's font can match the other 2 games that would be appreciated.

What an incredible coincidence!

I was thinking of making this very thread just the other day. Same requirements and everything.

My suggestion: what if someone used the PAL Project Zero (The name of the Fatal Frame games outside of the US) art and replaced the "Project Zero" text with the Fatal Frame font from the second and third games? The art is much nicer on it, and more fitting for the game.



It seems easy enough to do. All that would be needed would be for someone to scan some good raws of the PAL version of the game.

I'd do it myself (make the cover that is), but I lack the tools. I'm sure someone here can help though.

Personally, I think the first one would make the best cover.

I concur, I like the first one just with Fatal Frame on it, not Project Zero.  Anyone else working on it?

I'm wanting to work on it, but I'm needing higher resolution images than that.

Are you saying that you just want the PAL art with Fatal Frame written on it? or are you saying that you want the first wallpaper with Fatal Frame written on it?

the PAL art would be the easiest to do, if only I could find a good scan of it.

Yeah, I know. It'll be cropped from the Japanese version, because that "Zero" logo gets in the way.

Still just gotta wait for a more hi-res version

I think I can go with the consensus so whatever everyone votes on should be good enough for me.

I'm sure it'll be fine.  Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Well, go ahead and PM me a link to that one. I'll see what I can do with it.

Nevermind, I found a 1280 x 1024 version. I scaled it up (with bilinear filtering) to 2560 x 2048, and it scales VERY nicely, you really can't tell it was scaled at all.

I'll be using this then. I won't be able to work on it for a couple of days, becuase I need access to the living room computer to do anything hi-res.

How's this?

Forgive me if it looks kinda cruddy, this is my first ever cover.

There's still a few things I need to tweak before submitting it, but overall it's more or less done.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
