I love this one so much. Good work!

[corrosivefrost]

Nice. Have you done a 360 version as well by any chance?

I can do that up soon -- you have a preference on adding the logo to the front? I was toying around with the dragon + text logo vs the text logo on the bottom left in the blackness. Your call though, if you're requesting it for 360. ;)

Holy crap, Rengoku, that's amazing -- I've been debating RDR replacement covers for awhile, but now I have a winner!

Ren or whoever has them

Can you re-post the links for the PS3/XBOX 360 templates for showcasing created work?

[RyanardoDaVinci]

Does that case template work in Photoshop 7.0?

[overcast]

Sorry if I come off as incredibly stupid, but is there a kind of paper/printer I should use? I want it to look exactly like a normal cover.

[reptilescorpio]

Printed using a HP F4480 that the gf bought for $40 last year to do wedding invitations. Swiped some HP Professional Paper for Laser printers in Matt, A4, 200gsm. Used Photoshop to print out, changing the size at printing. Unfortunately it seems a bit too tall for the PAL cases, might need to crop them out in future.
Looks a thousand times better than the busy original cover. Thinking that Matt doesn't pop enough and may have to pick up some Semi Gloss paper. As it looks a little washed out.

I was thinking the same as the PS3 boxart just replaced with the greyed out 360 logo.

But your other idea sounds good. :)

How did you cut the photo paper?

[reptilescorpio]

How did you cut the photo paper?

With scissors. Horribly. :(
Wasn't too bad really, just had to get used to it. Only looks weird up close.
Planning on doing a batch and taking them to the office store next to work, they will probably let me use the guillotine.

Maybe your printer isn't obeying the software (I know my printer doesn't).
When I print from Photoshop to my printer (Canon MG5150) and tell it to print as 27.3cm x 14.83cm (10.75" x 5.84"), the printer actually prints it as 27.7cm x 15.1cm (10.9" x 5.92").

So I had to reprint and reprint until I got the numbers needed for my printer to actually print it as 27.3cm x 14.83cm (10.75" x 5.84").

Edit:
However will be printing so that the finished covers will be at 27.2.cm x 14.8cm (10.7"x 5.82") in the future, slightly less problem placing it in the plastic-cover of the case.

[zaidr]

Hey RedSwirl, is there a reason why the 360 version of these covers are more desaturated? Most pronounced was the Farcry3 one, but after that, I noticed it on all of them. Does the green case mess with the colours, so you desaturated them or something?

Okay here they come. A lot of these are for the future:

[Monkeylord]

I tried printing from my printer (my dad recently gave me his HP 6300) and while quality was good, colours were way off. Greys all looked green.


:(



Also, I'm thinking of making some templates for OG Xbox, Gamecube and GBA if anyone's interested.

Thanks for the detail! I'll use those sizes with the next lot of prints. Looking forward to doing some Gog.com ones as well.

Yeah I got the same when test-printing the Assassins Creed one with the upside-down building, greenish instead of greyish.
Might have been just because I printed onto normal paper, not photo-paper, and with standard settings not photo-settings.

Well, just measure your printed cover, and see how much to big it is, next time subtract that amount from width x height and print see if its fits better into the "27.2cm x 14.8cm" or "27.3cm x 14.83cm" measurements.

I tried on photopaper too and got the same result. It may be that I need to try HP photopaper (this was a batch of Epson paper I had left over from the last time I had a printer).

I probably just need to spend a few days, tons of paper and probably all my ink trying to calibrate by eye... or buy a colourimeter and see if I can do it properly. Expensive either way :(

[Birbo]

Some great stuff in this thread. If I didn't do design & layout stuff all day for work, I might be inclined to join in the fun.

Looking at some of these covers make me want to play games I haven't touched in months.

[mblitek]

[...] Looking at some of these covers make me want to play games I haven't touched in months.

Amen to that! Hell, I want to buy them, printer & paper so I can look at them. Then, line up all the spines in perfect OCD style and stare at their magnificence. Oh yeah.

[Slayer-33]

Thank you Ren Jebus.

[corrosivefrost]

http://www.mediafire.com/i/?vwx0kiyq51p384c

Forgot the drop shadow on the spine logo -- but because of the scaling/layer shenanigans I had to pull to change proportions to the 360 case size, the spine wasn't as similar in orange tint to the logo, so it doesn't look bad, I think.

If for some reason, you want something tweaked, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

[RedSwirl]

If it's anything it's the cover format itself. I did nothing to the images between versions.

anyone wanna do X-Men Origin: Wolverine or Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions?

[Canova]

I printed some more covers.

Nah thats fantastic. Thanks. :D

[Rengoku]

I printed some more covers.

Wow, that was quick! Kinkos must really love you, lol.

[Canova]

Wow, that was quick! Kinkos must really love you, lol.

yeah I printed over 35 so far, if you guys keep making them, I'll keep printing them

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

OH WOW

That Drake's Deception cover is phenomenal... and perfectly fits together with the two previous UC covers that were released before.

[Clint Beastwood]

What kind of paper do you guys use to print these?

[brandonh83]

What kind of paper do you guys use to print these?

I tell them to use glossy text paper.

Holy fuck @ dat charted

edit: RedSwirl you should find a way to blend the split colors on the Ico/Colossus cover-- otherwise its getting printed.

So..do you just go to Staples or any other store with this images on a USB drive?

yeah, go to Office Depot or kinkos o Grand & Toy, etc with a USB drive and bring a sample of PS3 cover. It's cheap, i printed over 35 for no more than 27 bukcs

those Uncharted 3 and ICO covers are beautiful, consider them on my next print batch

[Monkeylord]

I might have to give up on this. It's gonna cost me a fortune!

If I do one I'd have to do them all... DS, GBA, Gamecube, Wii, PS3, Xbox and Xbox360. That's several hundred.



Pooh!

[overcast]

Holy shit that Ico one...

[tha_devil]

Awsome job guys. Wish those companies would have contests so the winning design could be used as reversible cover.

[PerZona]

I LOVE the FFXIII-2 cover, it's the same wallpaper that i am using for my desktop.

And the UC3, MGS HD collection and the FFXIII ones are really nice, gonna print them out this weekend :D

I'd rather not mess with the front. I actually didn't do that art. It's a piece of fan art I found somewhere (probably DA). That's why I left that signature in the corner to keep credit to whoever did it.

No idea. If I ever find contact info for the guy who did that art I'll tell you guys.
