Minimalist style covers [UGC and DVD]

[Vt102]

I have to say that I really enjoy the covers. It gives people an option if they want a more straight forward cover.

I have one thing I want to point out and this is about the front of the covers.

It will be very hard for people to cut them once they are printed. Since the front is all white, there is n borders to serve as guides, so many people will either cut them to large (and have to cut a 2nd time or 3rd) or cut them to small and have to reprint them.

maybe adding a thin black or gray line to the border would help.

You are absolutely right Vt102. I usually ask the clerk to do the cutting lines [I convert the whole thing in pdf and he merge them with bleed cut]. I shall modify the whole lot and add bleed cut. Just take note it will take a little while though. Oh! and Rafingon, I will need a little while to do them. There come the exam's weeks and I can't neglect studies, alas... I will finish those I started and will post them the fastest as I can. Thanks for those feedbacks : it really help improving the whole lot

@ amarthar : Ah! Nice, I love those kind of feedbacks Thanks to have pointed that out, I will go and check if I can find nice pictures to fix this mistake. I haven't really noticed I made a bad move on this one... Was just using artworks I found and forgot the distinction between .GU and the original [strange since I played both, but brain's sometimes out after the 12 hours sched]. Don't worry, I enjoy when people take it seriously and tell me what is wrong. I am looking forward to your next comment if you find something else wrong!

Okay, since we're on that topic. I also found that the Megaman & Bass cover has artwork from the X series.

And also the DoDonPachi cover is freaking awesome! That bee on the back really fits the theme of the game and the style really contrasts with what's happening on screen.

Oh, rats... just kidding For this one I must say I was well aware... I just have a hard time finding good pictures of megaman and bass. I was going to change it anyways... One thing for sure : this box wasn't really done, and since I uploaded in batch, I haven't put any "filters" - I took everything on my hard drive and put it on mediafire... I still am searching in that mess to find other artworks... By the way, I will probably try to modify the psone, pstwo, dreamcast, genesis and Nes to fit the style. I hope you guys are not in a rush Thanks for pointing that out amarthar. It's much appreciated!

If you print them in UndercoverXP you can edit your templates to add Cut/Fold lines.

Still anxious for N64  

Sorry, been having personnal problems and had to stay away from internet for a while. Now I'm back on track and will try to do more stuff, INCLUDING N64 covers Hope people will be happy with this

Oh, I've been asking myself, is there a way to buy UGC without the use of credit card (I usually buy stuff with paypal and the mediashelve stuff don't want me buying them with paypal... such a shame). Internet and credit card is dangerous, so I might want to find a site offering me paypal stuff... sure there is "racketboy" site but the cost way too much and each time I go on site, my spyware protection go crazy... wonder why... Anyways, would appreciate every imput

Thanks ,

... I also found that the Megaman & Bass cover has artwork from the X series.

That was the very first thing I noticed. That and A Link to the Past uses Twilight Princess artwork.

It's not bad, though not really my taste. I do love the way Super Mario All-Stars looks when minimalized though. It looks appropriate, and there's more on the front than just text. I may use that front, except I'd convert the Mario face froim black to gold, to give it a coin look.

And yes, the Turtles art is sick.

[Qtipsnorris]

Yep, you are right about twilight princess, though it's hard to find HI-RES pictures of link to the past... as for mario, the gold stuff should be cool Will give it a try

Didn't had time to change megaman and bass too, will certainly do when I get free time. Right now, I'm working on some artworks for ps2... And don't worry, I know the minimalist style isn't for everyone. I just like it more when it's clean than when it's full of writings and stuff, but it's just a taste of mine

Thanks for the imput, I will try to find better pictures to fit the needs!

i love minimalist style stuff, and this is no exception. nice work!

No posts for over a year, so I'm not sure if anybody will even read this but I'm new here and just found your post. I think they look very cool and I love the idea of saving my ink cartridges with less to print. I whipped up these two in very little time and although they are slightly different than yours, I would not have even thought to do it if I didn't see this post.

I used Wiggy's N64 covers for the Spine then found the other images from google
