PS3 Cover Thread

[Velmeran]

I'm currently working on a set of custom Final Fantasy covers

In case the 15 other custom covers for each game aren't good enough.

Never said I intended to upload them here, and for the record I don't think they are. Love certain aspects on many of them, but they're not the same or similar across multiple platforms.

Was simply the reason I set off on creating a template with a Horizontal PS3 banner. *shrugs*

But even if I had intended to upload them here, are we only allowed to create covers for games which no one else has yet?

You can make a cover for any game you want, as long as it has an official release.

It's just that there are a lot of FF covers.

Ok, re-sized (man that was a bigger pain that I was initially thinking... then again I did tweak and clean a few things as well...)
Oh, and ultimately template size ended up being 3226x1758, ended up putting in the dimensions given on the linked official alt cover, both as Inch and CM, ended up coming this way *shrugs* it's 1 extra row of pixels on the spine (but it did come in handy for a few things )

Horizontal Style PS3 Case


Vertical Style PS3 Case


Example -- nothing fancy, just took a Kingdom Hearts wallpaper I had and threw it in real quick.

So, does anyone have recommendations on where to upload it at? Can I upload a .psd here (never tried)

Looks great - as far as I know, you should be able to upload .psd files. I almost did it by accident a few times, so I imagine it is possible.

Well I'd personally like to see those FF covers if it's any consolation.

Snowcone's no idiot- he probably sanitizes his uploads so only *.jpg can get through. You can try, but upload it somewhere else and I'll add it to the templates thread. I'll update the dimensions thread. 3226x1758 are the dimensions of the official Resistance 2 cover?

[Velmeran]

Here we go, ended up zipping it in .rar file and uploading it to MediaFire.
Was going to try a few of the other hosting sites which say they'll accept .psd files but the amount of personnel information they wanted was amazing!

Anyway, here's the link --- let me know if there was anything I forgot and you'd want to see added.

sheep2001, any chance of the latest demo covers for ps3

[the7k]

Just wondering, has anyone tried converting PS3 covers to Blu-Ray cases?

I dunno if it is a regional thing, but it seems like you can fit four Blu-Ray cases where only three PS3 cases could go on a shelf, thanks to the slimmer spines. Upon testing it with a few games of mine, the Blu-Ray case can still hold the manuals and game just fine - all it seems to need is a smaller spine.

I see a few of you uses Blu-Ray style cases in your templates, but have you tried them in actual practice? I'm just wanting to trade over because a) Blu-Ray cases take up less space, b) They'll blend with my movies, and c) they just look cool. =P

Edit: Just wanted to say that I've tested the case dimension for "Standard Blu-Ray Case" here http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=39.0, and the template spine is too thick. I assume the template image is for United Kingdom covers?

UK Blu-ray cases are of the thickness of PS3 Game Cases.

However NTSC Blu-ray cases are much slimmer. It's a regional thing.

the blu-rays i have are a bit smaller than the ps3 games, i have both uk blu-ray and ps3 games

It's possibly also a difference in size depending on the studio that releases the movies. At least in Germany Blu-Rays from FOX come in clear blue cases wiith the size of a normal DVD case. So the spines are roughly double the width of a standard case. All the other Blu-rays I have (all German/EU PAL) are in a standard Blu-Ray case. Maybe other studios in other countries do the same.

all of the demo covers are 404
