N64 Vertical Cover Thread
ShoothimNow:
Clarky64, no offense as I love the covers, I just... think the backs are really really really really really plain... Can't even read the write wording. Everything is too bright and vague IMO

maybe use a thin black 'stroke' around the white text on the back to make it pop a bit more.
I was about to use the RR64 cover, but the logo on the spine is a little rough, and the front (especially the logo) needs a clean - Back text says 'complete on never-before seen-tracks' instead of compete, also, it says rareware LOGOG instead of logo in the back legals.
would be great if you could fix those little bits as i need that cover myself ;D

I think you guys forget that once these are printed out and stuck in a UGC case your really not going to see these slight outline issues with some of the images.
My bad on the COMPLETE typo, I'll change it.
The LOGOG error is not of my own fault. This has been set in the template.
With regards to the white text, PRINT THE COVERS OUT!!!
To be honest guys, if you don't like em, don't use em. Like I stated in one of my previous posts, I'm happy with them and I'm making them for my own use but just thought I'd share them.
PLease also bare in mind that I am making these at work, when I'm actually supposed to be working so I can't check these to the full 110%.

mate, we're not trying to be assholes - hell i've had more covers rejected due to small mistakes/quality issues than most - but this site is all about quality and consistency, and i always appreciate the pointers others have given me. we were just offering some minor enhancements to get the covers up to site standards - i'm not going to print out covers and waste ink if i know it could be improved on with a couple of seconds work.
edit: and it would be great to have another PAL cover creater on the site - there aren't many of us.
clarky64:
Yeah I appreciate that some people are always going to nit-pick
The typo's that is purely my error. Except for the LOGOG one, that was on the template.
The blandness of the back cover!? I don't have time to sit and make each cover look all pretty. As long as they have the same text as the original box and a few screenshots, why does it matter. Surely thats consistant enough?
The prob is, you all sit here and look at the covers on a PC screen at high res. The reality of it is, once these are printed off, you lose loads of quality anyway and then you go and shove em in a UGC, these very tiny defects aren't even noticable. I print on a high quality laser jet printer with matching glossy photo paper, so I don't have these issues with not being able to read the white text.
Anyway, I'll redo the Ridge Racer cover. I noticed that I also left on the (only for N64) section which I would like to remove.
Res Evil 2 (like or lump it ;) )
