I put my name on the cover I build from scratch. If I just use the original box art and throw it into a template then I do not put my name on it

Being that it is a 100% custom, I personally see no problem with having your name on it.. Not like you are taking credit for someone else's work.
If you have nothing to do... Don't do it here!

I'm getting a 404 file not found on the Theme Hospital and Alpha Centauri covers.

Hey again!

I'm sorry to say that but all your covers except the Theme Park Inc. and Theme Park World covers are wrongly sized.... They are all 3225 x 3273 @ 300dpi.... If those are for standard DVD cases they should be 3225 x 2156 @ 300dpi..... It is extremly important that all of the parts of the cover(this means  front, spine and back) have the right pixel dimensions... Otherwise the cover won't fit properly in a DVD case 'cause the spine could be off.... Please check all except the two metioned again....
The front and back should be 1528 x 2156 pixels each!
The spine should be => 169 x 2156 pixels!

Thanks....

Regards Seb

EDIT: Theme Hospital is ok too....

not sure how that's happened as I work from the same template for all - i'll check them out.......................

EDIT: hmmm - not sure how it happened, but at some point i must have added pixels to the bottom of the template - luckily the left - right dimensions were untouched.  I've got them all at the correct size now - you want me ro re-up them or can I zip and send?

re-upped most of them now, thanks anyway Tik (hope they're OK this time)

@ Hexxer - nice dungeon keeper cover - I started one a while ago, but couldn't find enough decent quality art to finish it - i've just got the disc in a plastic sleeve (but not for long...........)

I really like the new PC covers you guys are coming up with. Hexxxer, you should think about posting your template.

I'm loving the Theme Park cover too - I thought about using the DS artwork, but was trying to get the old style original art.  I think it looks way better your way!

Hexxer if you could post your template - i'll move over to that one.
