I decided to give this cover making a try. I have a lot of N64 games that don't have vertical covers made for them yet, so I thought what the heck, I can make them myself. I downloaded the free trial of photoshop & gave it a try. Now maybe it's because I've never used photoshop before, but I find this whole process of making covers hard. It seems like everything I want to do can't be done. Like if I use the rectangular marquee tool to select an area I want to copy, it has to be a perfect square or else I have to select the part of the picture I want plus extra. I went of youtube to watch some tutorials, but most of what I saw on there is stuff that I already figured out just by playing around with the program. So my thought is that maybe someone on here who knows what they are doing could record a video of themselves making a cover & post it on youtube. That way noob's like me could learn & maybe start contributing to the site instead of just taking.

You have to familiarize yourself with the program before you can begin such an undertaking. Learn the basic tool functions and learn their names and sub-functions. Then look up "photo retouching" tutorials, there are plenty of videos on that and then you'll be on your way.

I have thought about this quite a few times but the only problem is I don't have any way to go about recording my voice. Would I just have to get some sort of microphone to get my voice recorded?
Also, does anyone know a good program to record my computer screen and be able edit the video? If possible, is there a free program that does all of this?

I have done a few photoshop video tutorials in the past. I wouldn't mind doing this at somepoint.
I have used Screenflow in the past to capture and edit screencasts. Also just using Quicktime X now can record screen and audio, but needs to be edited elsewhere.

I think this idea is great. I'm somehow in the same situation. Still a noob regarding photoshop but with a deep desire to contribute to the project by doing N64 vertical covers.
