Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread

[shenske]

Shenske, any chance you could do Tech Romancer & Dino Crisis next? No one has made DVD cases for those...

Problem is i don't have any scans for those.  If you have them please scan them in @600dpi & descreened/derasterized

I've actually been thinking about doing a Tech Romancer cover (again... my old one was noob-tastic). I don't have the case, but I do have the 'Capcom Design Works' Artbook.

We have a CD Case cover for Dino Crisis on the site. Maybe you could work with that.

I have a PAL copy of Tech Romancer but the artwork is a bit..dull. I had started a custom one that can be altered for U.S. Most of it is done anyway. Just say.

Techromancer (NTSC/U-Custom)



Did not take very long to switch over to NTSC. I had nearly finished a PAL version.

That's fantastic! Thanks! Now, someone just has to do Dino Crisis. As has been stated, the covers for both the DC and PS1 versions are already on the site, if that helps.

Dance Dance Revolution - 2nd Mix NTSC-J

I'll do some alterations to it when i get the scans from Kakihara

Looks pretty good to me as it is.

I just need the "legal stuff" in the upper right corner of the back scanned in so it is correct.  The current "legal stuff" is from another game

Black Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread

We at the TheCoverProject had a big debate a few years ago about a standard Dreamcast DVD style.
Our consensus was that the "All White" and the "Orange Upper spine" were the standard.
I have no intentions on changing the standards here just adding another option.

The Vertical black bar on the front takes up almost the exact same amount of space as the current white one.
     (This will make it very easy to convert pre-existing covers to the black template)
I still have every intention on making the All White style my priority but i'll be releasing a black version as well.

Many of the dreamcast game I own came in black CD cases and a black side bar with the dreamcast logo on the manual.
With this latest alteration of the template i tried my absolute best to mimic the original style of the dreamcast covers.

Normal


On the front because the DC logo is on the side it allows the online logo to be in the correct place up top.
You may also notice on the spine above the Sega logo the product number is listed for accuracy from the original CD case.

Sega All Stars


The Sega All Stars version was purely based off the the original CD style.
The color orange was matched to the degree with the original orange.
The spine was one constant orange color with a black logo, pruduct # & Black text for the game name.
On the front there is a vertical bar with the SAS labeled vertically to signify the inlay you can see on through with the CD case version.

All Regions Together



Well, this is kind of big for me so TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

[shenske]

Here are a few covers to give you an Idea of what they will actually look like.

Crazy Taxi
Conversion of current cover i made


Sonic Adventure
Brand new recreation of Sonic Adventure as close to the CD case retail cover as i could.

I gotta say I am a big fan of black and while I don't own a dreamcast I've been thinking about buying one

Its so worth it and you can probably pick one up for ~$25 bucks.  The games are good quality and dirt cheap now too

Yeah, I got my dad a Dreamcast for Christmas, a controller, VMU + 4 games (Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament, Soldier of Fortune and Blue Stinger) for $30 at a flea market. Totally worth it - I'm definitely the favorite kid now. =P j/k

Oh yeah, I like the black template. It looks snazzy and would go well alongside, say, a PS2 or Xbox collection.

Hmmm.... Another DC-case-style.... We have quite a lot allready....

Looks nice no question although the black curve on the front is a little too prominent for me....

Only an increase from 2 to 3 styles.  Its good we have the standards and all but it does kind of limit the artist from his/her own personal preference.  I think that everyone should still make the two standard template versions and if they feel like it they can make another alternate.  Think about if we had to tell the PC covers artist they had to use the "games for windows" template even though some of the original covers came in the "PC-DVD" style.

About it standing out too much its mostly the illusion of the color.  Dark colors really stand out next to light backgrounds.
Here is a comparison of how the space the front part of the template takes up.



Also, on a random note LJ42 shouldnt mind at all because he almost released a slew of black dreamcast covers too about a year ago.
