We get hundreds of cover submission monthly. I don't usually go over the issues with every cover. Ripto's rage is skewed. Taking an image and stretching it is a big no no. Plus, there's issues with the spine and front cover. There's an odd gray line that separates them; in addition to a drop shadow around the front cover. The scans are somewhat blurry. Part of being a cover artist is to figure out how to design these covers without skewing the artwork and make them look authentic. It's tricky because almost all Playstation covers where designed for a cd case, not a DVD case. |

Thanks again for the reply, I know you don't have time to reply to a lot of basic questions and submissions like this. I'm not a PS/GIMP expert, but the ones I submitted work for me. Hopefully someone can make them legit and upload them. I'm surprised it hasn't already been done... |

If your covers are not up to site standards, you can still share them on the boards. This would be a good place for PS1 DVD covers. http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=1058.0 |

They've been attempted before. The cover just didn't meet site standards. I did a quick search and found one of them. The other was posted before but the link was dead. http://www.mediafire.com/view/gi0gembieet4zeu/spyro2.jpg# |

(check it out, it's really bad) Any particular reason it was not added? |
