Title: Need feedback
Post by: amarthar on October 25, 2013, 05:51:04 AM: Here's a quick mockup of something I'm working on.

The text on the label may be a little hard to see,
but it says "Steam Save Backup".

What are your thoughts on that idea?

But how big are the back-up files -> Is that cost efficient?

Post by: amarthar on October 25, 2013, 07:47:24 AM: Well, I'll just find the smallest possible memory cards, cause the backups are really tiny - a couple hundred kilobytes - and who says you can't keep multiple files on one card?

Besides, memory cards can be dirt cheap (just found some 16MB cards for $1/piece)

Post by: Seraph Man on October 26, 2013, 01:03:38 PM: You're right, the text is a little hard to read. Maybe if it had an outer glow, or something else to help it pop, because the lines are what make it hard to read more than the size of the text.

Post by: amarthar on October 27, 2013, 05:23:56 AM: Seraph: You were right. Just made a test print - the normal font was barely visible, but all it took was to make the font bolder:

Right is normal font, left is bold.

I'll put it up for download soon (along with a dvd cover and disc label).

Post by: amarthar on October 27, 2013, 06:15:21 AM: It'll look better when I print it on proper paper. I was using regular office paper for the test.

BTW the whole set is done:

Not really, it's a computer store in my town (and I don't think they do international orders).
