Vt102, thanks for the Yumemi RAWs.

Grumbleduke, I'm not really sure about the template. I quite like the 'cleaner' look of the plain black one, although maybe with the underlayed image as well, as it might be just a bit too clean. Having said that, I also don't mind the watermarks. My main problem with them is their visiblity/brightness, especially on the back where it makes it look a bit too busy in my opinion, but you said that's mainly Imandix's fault. If it's not too much trouble, could you post a low-res preview of the 'printable' watermarked cover, rather than an imandix preview?

As you can see, I'm going to be an invaluable asset for your decision making.

Grumbleduke:
This should complicate things a little more then... ;)

Very time consuming but i think fairly accurate to the original. Problem being the sheer amount of stuff they packed onto the back of the box. All the Digital Pictures trademark stuff in particular...Instaswitch..Digichrome...Udirect.

The three typesside on. I will see what i can come up with for the "Type 1" though i think all black is a little bit too spartan.

Grumbleduke:
I PM'ed you a link..give it a try.

Doom:
That 32x spine looks odd, and clashes with the title on the spine. I guess it's staying true to the original, but to me it's annoying.

Zelimpdna:
Wow... very nicely done. I'm not sure you could have made that look any closer to the original.

And despite the back being a lot busier than the MCD one, I really like it. It all just seems to... fit together more naturally than the MCD back, I think.

Having thought about it, one of the problems I have with it might be the placement of the back image. Maybe if it ended above the Compact Disc and UK Version logos? I don't know. It's not that big of an issue, really. I mean, if I find that the back is really bothering me [which I doubt it would], I can always just edit the covers as I see fit.

As far as the front and spine are concerned, I definitely prefer the watermarked version. Especially seeing the three types next to each other. It fits in well with the second MCD and the 32X covers. And the front just looks too bare without it, especially if compared to the other two covers.

Since typing that, I've printed out the watermarked cover. Disregard all I said. :P The watermark nicely fills up the empty areas, but doesn't stand out as much as it does in the Imandix previews. And although I still think the back image might be better ending above those logos, it's so much of a non-issue when you're actually looking at the cased cover that I'm not really sure it's worth bothering about. Great job on this template, Grumbleduke.

As for Doom's comment about the 32X spine, I can see how on some games it could be problematic. However, unless you go for a split-section spine like the Gamecube and PS2 etc, with the '32X' pattern only in the 'Mega-CD 32X' section, there's not really much you can do. And that wouldn't work, because then the back/front continuation of it would be broken. An alternative would be to use the opposite spine of the cd case, which is plain black [on Night Trap, anyway] but plain black spines are pretty boring. Perhaps you could fade it on the spine?
Personally I like the current spine as it is, but I only have one Mega-CD 32X game [for now, anyway] so I'll leave it up to people with more of them to decide.
