It might be worth mentioning that that isn't available in the database, which I why I made my cover in the first place.

Nope, it ain't.
Feel free to request others, as certain members make and publish them on the boards.
Other OCD members store them.

I'm working on a concept for a unified template for all my Gameboy/Color/Advance games. They're supposed to go in these Poly Box CD cases I have, that have 10mm spines. GBA games might not even fit in those, but I don't collect those anyway. The point is just to have a uniform-looking design. Here's a few mockups:











At the moment, I'm really just fumbling around, so I would love to hear your opinion. There are a few problems I've already noticed, such as the drop shadow on the front logo, and the spine looking a bit awkward, low res artwork etc… I'm working on those.
Oh, and while I love minimalistic designs, I'm trying to keep this template low maintenance, so the front and back are supposed to stay as close to retail as possible. Combined with the low res scans, this results in the uneven white borders on the front that you've no doubt noticed. I'm hoping this will be much less apparent once the games are cased.

I know this is an old post, but just wanted to remind everyone that i have the foam inserts for the poly cases. They will fit any portable or "card" game that can fit in the poly cases. If anyone wants a free sample just let me know.

I am selling these for $0.50 each + $3.99 shipping per order.

I've been doing a ton of cover for my ebay store. Since these are all for Repros & Fan translations I won't be posting links to the printable files, but if anyone has suggestions on improving the or other suggestions covers I should do please let me know. Any feedback would be appreciated. I'm no pro at photoshop, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

They're specifically for my store. And again, they're for repros. This one took me the better half of an entire day to get right.

I don't have any specific plans to make a vertical cover, but there's nothing stopping me from doing one other than other projects I'm working on.

I actually do have a problem with this. You are selling TheCoverProject covers for profit on your ebay store and there is NO MENTION of where you are getting the covers from. Your description on your products insinuate that you designed them.

You are profiting off of the members' here hard work.  Sure you are making a few of your own but the vast majority are not your own. With just a few clicks through your ebay store I looked through my Pokemon covers. You have sold 410 copies of my pokemon covers alone. Its costs $0.50 to print, $0.80 per poly case (after shipping), $2 to ship to customer (being generous here assuming they only buy 1 case, obviously bulk is cheaper).  You sell them for $10 each, turning a profit of $6.80 per sale.

So just off of 9 covers i have made you have turned a profit of $2788 from my hard work.  :o
Your ebay store has over 5000 covers/cases to purchase and I only dug into 9 of them.

Old subject but still not cool

I agree, nice covers though
