Rengoku, you're a gentleman and a scholar, thanks for the layout! Updated my previous ones with the 3d look. Here's the one from the previous page in the 3d look.

[brandonh83]

I'm in nasty love with the Bayonetta one. Keep this shit coming, I'm probably printing more tomorrow.

[Square Triangle]

Omg at those Vanquish covers. You are God sent.

[Canova]

Printed 25. Used 10 of them. The other 15 I still dont have the games for. Will take picture tomorrow in the daylight.

here's some advise for the cover makers; Think about the composition of the image when the cover is folded. For example the composition may look fine when spread out, but look off when folded. Examples: Darksiders and Dante's Inferno covers.

Also, don't make them too dark

Overall I'm very satisfied, I'm going to replace as many covers as possible from my collection

[Evolved1]

Is there any way we can better organize this awesome thread? Maybe create a google docs spread sheet where the covers (game titles) are listed with the gaf post#... link it in the op and then when things are added the contributor can just quickly update the spreadsheet?

Or anything... it's just that the thread is getting long and it's difficult to search for specific requests/games.

edit: I will do this tomorrow: I'll go through the thread and organize all submissions into a google doc. Then pm link to the OP. Hopefully contributors will update the sheet themselves, or pm me to do it. Whatever is easiest for everyone. But I think we should organize this, and get easier access to everyone's hard work!

[mgviperman]

zazrx and Rengoku, holy crap you guys are making some amazing covers. Also glad we have some 360 and Wii templates to work with now.

[demosthenes]

I gotta say, printing white covers is a pain in the ass XD

I don't know where to cut lol

[Mithos]

Updated my previous ones with the 3d look.

That 3D look template, available somewhere, must have missed it?

[Evolved1]

Open the image in PS/Gimp or something and put a half pixel outline on it... won't make too much difference if you take off that small amount. Especially if you're cutting by hand anyway. Or just overlay a cover you have and mark the corners.

[Hamster0]

Love what you did with the MGS4 one Mithos! Yakuza Bayonetta Vanquish

love it

Sounds good man, let us know what to do, I'll update my contributions just tell me how.

Rengoku's the man to talk to, he made it himself. PM him, don't know if he wants to post it for the general public so I rather not post it myself since it isn't mine. :)

This is going to be a toughie, isn't it? :( I can't find any hi-res pictures for this game. So I moved on to real-life UFC pictures, but I can't seem to find suitable ones. Anyone can help?

All right man, I have no clue what I was doing since I don't follow UFC at all so... hope they are to your liking.

Decided to flip the Yakuza one I did, might look better like that.

Its something I had been working on aside from making the actual covers. See below for the template. The zip also comes with an action script that automates the conversion to the 3D look. You'll need Photoshop CS5, but if you have an earlier version, try it out and see if it works.

Please note that the Nintendo DS template & script is made to work with the US template (3260 x 1370) only which is slightly different to the EUR template (3292 x 1368).

Here's my attempt at Dark Souls, kinda limited with whats out there.

YEAH!! that's what i'm talking about!

thanks

[Penguin nerd]

The spreadsheet sounds great. We could also use a title change so it's not just 'PS3' in the title. :P

...

OH GOD THAT DARK SOULS COVER! :O

[RedSwirl]

Now if we can just get a minimalist DS template out there we're in business.

Also, where are you guys finding all the super high-res art for these games? I tried to look for material for Deus Ex but couldn't find anything bigger than 1080p.

[Rengoku]

I'm gonna try to see if I can do a Demon's Souls cover, but I can't find a large enough logo.

Here's one: http://soyunjugon.files.wordpress.co...gotm-copie.jpg

Just tried it out and it works fine in CS4 also, reflection don't fade off like your versions though (after saving to PNG), but I'm not fully used to Photoshop (I'm using PSP X3). But it is impressive, nicely done.

I'll have a minimalist DS template posted in like 20 minutes or so.

[RedSwirl]

Here's one: http://soyunjugon.files.wordpress.co...gotm-copie.jpg

Actually I realized that the art I was gonna use was just the inlay. Still worth a shot though I guess.

[Net_Wrecker]

OMG the Bayonetta, and Vanquish ones. This thread THIS THREAD

[alr1ght]

[Penguin nerd]

Here's a DS minimalist template. I changed the layout a tiny bit to better coincide with how the other minimalist templates are.

http://www.mediafire.com/?c5tgce4gbcu4ozt

[zazrx]

Awesome job Penguin nerd! I like what you did alr1ghtstart! Looking at how you did that DS one, I guess we should move towards that minimalistic style with just the Spine logo and the front logo and nothing else? If so I'll edit my previous ones to keep them all the same. These ones follow that style.

Are you enabling transparency in your png export settings? Maybe thats it.

[corrosivefrost]

Where can I find a render of the globe with a 1 so I can make my OCD happy when I use Rengoku's Dark Soul's cover? :)

[Raonak]

Is there a DMC4 one?

or a list of all the box arts?

[brandonh83]

DMC4 is in dire need of a great one.

Awesome, but I didn't ask for these(will print out for when I get the game this week.)

[INDIGO_CYCLOPS]

I apologize if this has been addressed in here, which it probably has, but it's late; anyway, I'm curious what the most efficient way of printing these out is? Do most folks just use their home printer?

[zazrx]

Woops just noticed while I was looking for this Rengoku had already made a very similar one for Deus EX hehe.

Someone posted a sick one for DMC4 a few pages pack.

My boxart debut (bit on the artsy side rather than a standard replacement)

I have no idea, as I said Photoshop is latin to me ^^.

Anyways this is what I just did.. For a FUTURE game.

[zazrx]

Looks hot man!

Rengoku, what 360 layout are you using? The one I used on Bayonetta is wrong so I have to redo it.

[Evolved1]

I will organize this tomorrow and get it into the OP. For now you just have to search through the thread or ask for something.

We should address this in the OP as well.

There are quite a few impressions in the thread, but it seems people are trying a mixture of things. Some going to Kinkos, others are printing at home. I'll try and gather the impressions that are scattered through the thread and put them together.

I brought a ps3 cover sample to kinkos, they helped me pick the glossy paper. I printed 25 covers for 17 bucks

[mgviperman]

Loved the cover alr1ghtstart made, but wanted one without the top and spine bars and couldn't find it, so I just remade it.

[SamuraiX-]

^ Love it.

I brought a ps3 cover sample to kinkos, they helped me pick the glossy paper. I printed 25 covers for 17 bucks

So how does it work? Do you bring all the images on a USB drive and they do all the printing and measurements for you?

[Rengoku]

This is the one I was using: http://www.mediafire.com/?7q1p8tbtl4tthai

[Para bailar La Bomba]

I got a really fugly Saints Row 2 cover (yellow "Playstation Best") which I wanna get rid of -- first GAFer to design a new one, I'll name my first born after your username!

[RedSwirl]

Okay I've got some in-progress but I'm gonna have to hang it up for tonight. It's late.

[corrosivefrost]

Thanks Rengoku -- nice file name. :D

[Canova]

^ Love it. So how does it work? Do you bring all the images on a USB drive and they do all the printing and measurements for you?

Yup. No need for measurement, the img is already the right size

[corrosivefrost]

Hey, where do you guys find logo renders or fonts for the spine?

[zazrx]

Fixed the Bayonetta one, if you downloaded the first one, use this instead.

[reptilescorpio]

R&C All 4 One Logo was too fat for spine :(

I think the kiddy font works great anyway, fantastic cover and I would definitely rip out the original cover and replace it with this one if I pick up the game.

Every template you'd ever want..

Awesome thanks so much mate.

[I should be doing hw]

Art/Photoshop GAF should make a custom Bluray cover thread, a lot of these designs are really good.

[Andrefpvs]

All right man, I have no clue what I was doing since I don't follow UFC at all so... hope they are to your liking.

Aww yeah man!!
Thank you!

You have no idea how long this game has been bothering me, I had it in a PSN card box, lol.

Those are perfect, in fact, the problem will be deciding which one to print out.

Thanks again :)

[Canova]

Does anyone have Vertigo's hi res Uncharted 2 cover hosted somewhere?

[INDIGO_CYCLOPS]

Thanks for the printing info. Looks like I am going to try it out. Really awesome stuff in here!
