ATTN: Cover Artists
segamer:
I've been going through the covers submitted/uploaded to the main site and... well... it wasn't good. I've probably filtered through half of the submissions (hundreds of covers) and didn't find any that meet site standards. Now, I did find nice Mario and Zelda covers but I don't want to post the 25th variation of the same cover that the site already has. This is what I'm getting at, if you've made a cover that you feel meets TCP's high standards, send it to me directly (via offline message) along with the source material (scan) you used to make the cover. This is what I'm looking for:
- Source material should be scanned at 300 dpi or higher.
- The cover should be made with Cover Project Templates. If logo's on our templates are out of date or low res, they should be replaced.
- The barcode and fine print need to reflect the retail cover
- Make sure the source material has been cleaned.
I think it'll be easier if I talk with you guys one on one.

You now understand why covers added to the site so rarely. :D
And by asking direct submissions the shitflood gets directed directly towards you, as is the rage when you dare nit pick or critizise.

Out of my entire time here on the site making verticals I don't think that I have ever submitted a cover for upload. I know that quite a bit of the source material I used came from this site, unless it is something that I can find elsewhere or scan myself.

I've made a bunch of covers never thought of submitting them though haha maybe I should

Arseen, my eyes have been opened. In order to get quality covers posted, there has to criticizing and nit picking. I do understand that some users will rage but if they take criticizing well and eventually make a cover that'll meet site standards, I'll post it right away.
