PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)

I converted the cardboard box of the relatively recent Sierra Space Quest Collection into a triple DVD case. I am torn between leaving it as close to the original box as possible, and adding the PC-CD style header to the top. I was really disappointed Sierra, well Vivendi did not release these in DVD cases, choosing crappy cardboard boxes instead. These were some of the best boxes when the games came out individually.

for what it's worth, here is the PC Game Template I use.

Hey, I was bored and saw the alice pictures in the raw section so I thought I'd take a wack at turning it into a dvd case it sense I didn't see one.

I did one with the pc cd thingy, and one without.  *shrugs*  I'm new at this and the raw files to work from weren't the greatest but it was fun to do.

here is another custom cover I am working on. 90% is original including the ornaments, the Logo the leather texture... actually, the only original part so far is the skull logo

[MisterCreazil]

I know, I was actually thinking on not putting stuff on the back anymore anyways. I don't know...

[MisterCreazil]

I think it looks more "authentic" with stuff on the back, but why not just do it both ways?  Keep a blank one and do one with stuff on the back.

I think it looks more "authentic" with stuff on the back

i agree, a cover with nothing on the back seems to look unfinished and unauthentic.

just my opinion

Thanks to XanderBoy who sent me the raws I made a two new covers   Hopefully they aren't too shabby I'm not exactly the best with photoshop

tell me what you think and if anyone knows how to get rid of those two half circles on the top and bottom of the starcraft back, that would be greatly appreciated

*edit*  Fixed a minor thing on the LOD cover, if you didn't notice it before you won't notice it now

Oh I got gothic 3 in the mail and just shrunk it down to a standard dvd case size.  I have no idea why they release these single disc games in stack packs.

Those are some nice covers. Thanks for your efforts MisterCreazil

[Hexxxer]

I agree, great new covers. I have the Diablo II instruction manual if you are interested in using that as well.

[MisterCreazil]

Sure, that would be cool   Hey your custom cover for Dungeon keeper is way cool, have you thought about making one for Dungeon Keeper 2?  I could scan the jewel case covers for you
