Wow Shenske,
This is great stuff. I'll recover my SNES when you work through more of the library. Awesome nonetheless.

As such, the rectangular shots on the back of the box are more representative of what's actually going to be showing on your TV.

That's a nice bit of info to know, thanks.

TMNT IV: Turtles In Time

TMNT IV was a pain due to no good quality scans. The horizontal cover we have is actually made from the PAL cover, with 'Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles' still on the front ::)

Good job, i like them, keep it up ;D.
I would recommend using a drop shadow around the Castlevania and TMNT:TinT logo on the back to make it pop out more.
Also, try making the font on the back slightly smaller so it has a little bit of breathing room at the bottom.
you don't have to do either of these things its just what i would do. ;)

thanks for the tips :) The drop shadows do look nice. one question though, your drop shadows on the logos look like they surround the whole image, while I can only get mine to go on one side (set the angle for a light source to determine direction). Is that a different effect other than drop shadow, or is there a setting I don't know about?

You would be correct my shadow do surround the whole image equally on all sides. Just set the distance on the drop shadow to 0.
