Custom Cover Art - Minimalist, clean, or alternative box arts for your favorite games

Praise be to Zajora,
EDIT:
Here is a link to the Dropbox backup I created. It contains all covers that I was able to download (that had working links) from both the Custom Cover Art thread and the original PS3 redesign thread.

To get to the full size covers, go to "Custom Covers/[System of your choice]/Large". The "Small" folders are for the 3D Box Previews. "Printed Covers" is for pictures people have taken of the covers from this thread that they've printed.

To download the full resolution of a cover, click the thumbnail/filename, then right click it and select "Download". Although Dropbox will display a scaled preview, the file you download will be full size.

It is possible to change the view between the thumbnail grid and detail view of filenames with this button:

The detail view is useful to find particular games within the folder for systems with large numbers of covers, since you can use Ctrl+F to search for a particular games.

All covers in the Dropbox should be correctly named with their corresponding game, in JPEG format, and tagged with their author. If you notice a cover that has incorrect metadata or is a duplicate, please PM me, Zajora. If you notice a cover that was created by a member and posted in one of the threads but is not included in the Dropbox, please let me know. :)

Also: Please do not link directly to any covers in the Dropbox. I can't guarantee that I won't change the folder organization or the filename, which would lead to a broken link.

The original thread was just for PS3 covers. The thread started to change into PS3/360, Wii games, DS games and so on. This thread is being created to bring in more people and spread the sexyness that are custom covers. The old thread will not be locked but we want to do everything here now. I will try to keep the OP updated for most common templates as well as adding templates (Vita, 3DS) when I get them. Also will update the 2nd post and try to categorize the games by system and update w/ links to posts. I'll try and download all the covers I see so I can re-upload if need be.

Hey guys, since theres some demand for it, here is the new version of the 3D Previews Box Converter. This time, it includes support for Batch Processing. Please test it out and let me know if there are any issues getting the script to run. Instructions are included within the Zip file.

Please note, you still need to have Adobe Photoshop for these scripts to work. They were tested and working fine on CS5, please let me know if they work on older versions as well.

1) Home tutorial by Theman2k
Follow up questions.

2) You can go to a copy/print shop such as Office Max, show them what you want done and they can generally do it w/out an issue. Office Max charged me $.73 per page for Glossy paper. I personally have had problems getting printing done @ Kinko's b/c they don't like the fact that there are trademarks on them such as "PS3" or "Xbox 360".

3) Damaged box? Get new PS3 boxes Here

Let me show you through these halls, my friend, where treasures of indie gaming await...
If I'd want to print these in copy shop, what would I need to tell them to get it done nicely? Glossy paper of a certain weight/thickness?
 

Wario64

works for Gamestop (lol)
Office Max only really charges 73 cents per page? Is there an additional fee for the service? That seems dirt cheap.

There were a few other attempts at the PS3 MK cover in there, but I didn't bother to go catalog them as well.

This is REALLY helpful :)

Nope. I'm out for a bit, I'll bbl to work on updating post 2 some more.

Goddamn. If companies would sell game boxes that looked like these for a premium (maybe they'd be online only) I'd buy them. All of these covers are great.
 
I thought the old thread was actually for updating ps3 boxarts to the new non Spiderman font template. I kinda wish that idea would've stuck around because as nice as these covers are I don't think I'd ever use them because they would stick out on a shelf...

It was and then eventually it just kind of evolved into it's own thing. Most people preferred the minimal style over the black bars at the top.
 
These covers are amazing.

Developers and publishers, in comparison to these your cover work is shit. I wonder how much of that is down to laziness, and down to the mandatory information they have to put onto the box of each release.

They would only stick out because they're so much better than the crap covers the game industry currently uses.

Just make the switch. You know you want to.

It's most likely a combination of them needed to put a whole bunch of ugly bullshit on plus it needs to make people want to buy the game just by looking at the cover. While all of these are very cool, I think they would do terrible jobs at selling the games to someone who's never heard of them.

Umm... why is everyone reposting their covers? I thought this OT was supposed to link back to the other thread?

I like this better. It gives everyone a chance to consolidate their work and put it nicely on display. Easier for everyone.

I plan to lock the other thread, link from here to there and from there to here, and then if people want to repost or recatalogue here they're welcome to. This will be the thread for custom cover thread heading on.

Some fantastic art here. I wish devs would sometimes throw in an extra cover without game information on it, just for the art lovers.

Developers and publishers, in comparison to these your cover work is shit. I wonder how much of that is down to laziness, and down to the mandatory information they have to put onto the box of each release.
I agree that a lot of covers are weaker than some posted here, but there are probably a lot of guidelines and red tape to get through with real ones. Required logos on the front, and all the system and copyright info on the back. Plus the stuff on the back is probably for promotion since lots of places don't keep games behind glass. That said, there is no excuse for not having reversible covers (unless they have inside art like PS3 and PSP games I guess).




Now for a request, I posted in the other thread but I don't think anyone replied (didn't help I was at the end of a page). Looking for a high res white Lost Odyssey logo. Not so much a whole alternate cover since I'm only looking to change the front and spine for my second case.

Why the decision to not continue the GAF collection thread, or at least the idea behind it? Just curious, because there's loads of good stuff there.

Or a reverse print for that matter.
Yeah, either a two sided cover or an extra behind the main cover.

Either way, I might have to get some of the GAFer designed covers printed.

If I'd want to print these in copy shop, what would I need to tell them to get it done nicely? Glossy paper of a certain weight/thickness?
I'd like to know this as well, thx!

Take a cover in and tell them you want it to be on that type of paper, or whatever is closest.

Edit: And printing yourself can be a bit of a hassle. Printers and paper generally work best when you stick with one brand. Mixing brands can result in poor quality.

It's important to note that paper quality is key, much more so than printer quality. You don't want a cheap $30 printer from Walmart, but you don't need a super expensive printer either.

I haven't figured out what the best paper weight or type is yet, so I can't really comment on that. 8.5x11 size paper is fine, you don't need any extended sizes, just make sure you print borderless or it will be cut off. You do need bigger paper for double-wide cases though (unfortunately). My covers have used thick photo paper, but 240 gsm seems too high. Something in the 140 range is probably what is used in manufacturing.

May contain jokes =>
Every time I've tried to print a custom cover out (not from here), even using the "proper" dimensions or a template the image ends up too big for the case. Are these covers better? Is there something that needs to be done to them to ensure they come out the right size? Because I'd love to have some nice prints.
 
These are amazing, I have already gotten most of my collection (its small...) reprinted. Any chance someone is going to do a Just Cause 2 cover?

Ill take a look for some assets in a bit, no guarantees though.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

A nice Semi-Gloss paper is what I've used for my SNES vertical covers and it looks great.

The trick is finding a place that will allow you to print, since a lot of these will be considered under copyright (even though from my understanding it falls under fair use. Anyways...) and will refuse to print for you.

It doesn't really fall under the minimalistic trend this thread seems to have focused on so far, but everyone should take a look at The Cover Project. I have all my SNES games in cases with cover art from that site.
