Here's what I have for the front and back so far. I'm doing this at 300dpi, and I already have the tracks done.





I really like the back because Nintendo posted the manual online. The back is from the manual, complete with vector based graphics (resolution limited only by PC speed) created with Photoshop. Front is also from the manual, but the official picture is too low res to use, so it's my scan.

I have the track listing I'd like to use, but I don't know where I should put it and how I should arrange it. I'd like to throw in some legal information too, even though this isn't a real soundtrack release so I'm already breaking some laws probably. ::) Something like

Endless Ocean is a registered trademark of Nintendo. | Tracks 1-9 by Hayley Westenra © Decca Music Group | Tracks 10-25 by Ayako Saso © SuperSweep Co., Ltd.

Squeezed under the diver to the left of the fish. Also, if there's any way to find a font used in a PDF, I'd love to find out how. PDF WARNING - link.

Track listing:

1.   Prayer
2.   The Water Is Wide
3.   Shenandoah
4.   Amazing Grace
5.   Pokarekare Ana
6.   River of Dreams
7.   Hine E Hine
8.   E Pari Ra
9.   Benedictus
10.   Character Selection (Intro)
11.   Character Selection
12.   On Boat - Day (Intro)
13.   On Boat - Day
14.   On Boat - Night (Intro)
15.   On Boat - Night
16.   Dolphin Training (Intro)
17.   Dolphin Training
18.   Embrace of Manoa Lai
19.   Moon of Manoa Lai
20.   Diving 1
21.   Diving 2
22.   Diving 3
23.   Diving 4
24.   Diving 5
25.   Diving 6

  • ...and that's the bottom line
Looks good. I really like the back too. Even more than the front cover but that's just a matter of tase and your front matches the actual game cover. I do like the simplicity of the back though. Classy!

The front cover is from the manual, a different image than the actual cover.

The only other thing I could use for the front cover is the back of the manual, see the link above. Pros: vector based Cons: Weird aspect ratio, no logo. I might be able to find a high resolution logo somewhere.

Because the vector graphics looks so awesome, here's another image. Maybe this can be an alternate front cover? Or the former back could be the front, and this could be the back? I think it's an alternate front. Once again, this is at very high resolution. Until I downsample it these next images are at 1200dpi. I think I'm going to have to resist the urge to have a completely blank cover - classy as it may be, it'd be nice to have the track listing / legal info on there. I'm going to have to muck around in audicity - track listing 1.0 is just extracted from the game, but the into and full tracks should be merged.
