ATTN: Cover Artists
Polygon:
That's good to know. I'd like to think it's not because I'm doing something wrong. :)
But something I think would be a good idea is a critique thread where we can post covers and the cover admins and veteran cover artists can look at them and give advice on what needs to be fixed? Because regardless of how good I think my covers look, if something needs to be fixed, I want to fix it and I don't want to offer up a cover if it's not great.

@ Polygon,
I couldn't post your covers for the following reasons:
1.) Source material
2.) Skewed Images. Part of being a cover artist is that you have to figure out ways to make your covers without skewing the images. This can be a challenge sometimes. As far as I could tell, all your PSone covers were skewed.
3.) Information and cleaning. In general, you just needed to polish your covers. Some of them are super close. In some cases, your templates are out of date as they had low res logos. Make sure you have the latest templates.

I haven't looked at it under a microscope but I think it's very good. It's a well constructed cover. However, the back has moire patterns. Whoever scanned it needed to use moire or noise reduction. From your end, you did well.

Well I used 47" Full HD TV instead of microscope.
It's pretty good but there are a lot of dirt, watermarks and hair on the front image.
I can see the moire but I doubt it will show when printed.
But yes, Very good cover.
