Dreamcast DVD Cover Thread

That cover looks awesome Grumbleduke, most backs of my japanese covers tend to look akward to me, yours looks great!

T.Y . I got lucky. Because of the white background, i was able to cut and stretch the text out and put a couple of pictures in between. As you know, this is not allways the case. I find DC covers the most difficult to work on.

@KaiserWAVE

I allways suspected that!!

T.Y Japanese DC cases are,shall we say 'interesting' to convert to DVD style.

With "interesting" you surely mean complicated....

Yeah, I tried converting the case of Napple Tales to this format, and it just fell flat on its face. How the heck do you do it, duke?

Well as you probably discovered, when you slide the jewel case into the template, both the front and back take up only about half the size available. So then you have to get a bit creative with the stretching so as not to lose proportion and start finding stuff to 'pad them out'. For some reason, the fronts normally work out ok but the backs are allways a pig to do. Luckily there's quite a bit of info/pics floating around the net for DC...and if i really have to, i draw some stuff in but that takes waaaaay to long. I just finished doing a fully Japanese version of Samba De Amigo 2000 that took at least 10 hours of solid work and was, so far, the most difficult i have done. And if im correct, it should be right underneath...

Ehh, i don't think my version was very good at all.  All i had to work with was 2 wallpapers and screenshots from the net.
Great job on your version, i'll most likely be using yours.

A quick BIG thanks to the group working on the DC covers (especially shenske)
My collection is looking really good, now, thanks to your hard work. You have built a great portfolio of design work that can get you a great job.

Hey thanks, i appreciate that.  You should upload some pictures of your library using the covers, i'd like that.

About the portfolio, actually i've decided to sell out and go to the money  . 
I'm not a graphic design major anymore, now its Geography with GIS emphasis. Art minor

Power Stone (NTSC/JP)



Another time swallowing project. Tried to get the back looking the way i thought it might turn out had it been made for a DVD case all along (same with all the JP DC covers i have done in fact).
