I retyped all the text on the back but I had to use fonts that were *close* to the originals as I couldn't find any that matched them exactly. I couldn't even find the proper font for the barcode, although I did recreate the proper barcode from scratch after researching how to dissect a UPC-A barcode on Wikipedia. :P --- End quote --- I usually just use as close alternate as possible, but there is a site that has masters of tracking correct font. I think it was called what's that font or something really close to that. --- Quote from: WolfAlmighty on January 10, 2012, 01:14:54 AM ---2) While I can clean up solid colours or produce even gradients without much hassle, what do you do if there is something that's a drawing or picture (as in the aforementioned Elway standing next to the arcade cab)? Bear in mind my artistic ability borders on the Neanderthal so I'm guessing you either need to have far more skill than I or simply better scans? --- End quote --- 1. Good scans are best start. 2. I think Photoshop has dust and scratch removal tool. 3. Last option is painstakingly fixing the image dot by dot. --- Quote from: WolfAlmighty on January 10, 2012, 01:14:54 AM ---3) Since the size of an NES box is smaller (skinnier) than the front of a UGC, how do you get the front cover to fit properly? I can get away with it on the back by just adding a border, but how do you do it on the front? I couldn't rightly stretch the image or poor Elway would look like his face were made of silly putty, I couldn't centre or left-justify it because then I'd be forced to try to draw the rest of Elway's hand left hand and I can promise you that isn't in the realm of possiblity. So I ended up right-justifying it and extending the green field and yellow tag. How do you guys normally go about making a skinnier cover fit on a larger area? --- End quote --- Depends on cover. Options are either streching, add-drawing (like you did) or enlarging and cropping. In many cases all three. |

Ah okay, sounds like I'm kind of on the right track, then. Thanks Arseen! :) There's still a couple of things I see that I can touch up on the Elway box which I'll do before I print myself out a copy. Now I just need to find a nice scanner so I can scan in my Krion Conquest box and have a cover made for it. |

This is the NES case/box art I'm in need of: (I know I already posted this in another thread but I thought it should be posted in here in case someone was planning on working on any of them. Or in case people never saw the other posting Little League Baseball: Championship Series Shooting Range Rocketeer, The Q*Bert Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates Sesame Street: 123 (Astro-Grover / Ernie's Magic Shapes) Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival Road Runner (Tengen black cart) |

It's better to keep the requests in the request forum or Wiki-site as this is topic for showing ready covers, besides requests here will get lost as nobody knows to look them from here. ;) |
