Not much else to say at this moment.

It would look better if Ezio was full of words instead of only part of him. Also less red tint plz.

That was the original plan, but I ran out of words. Also, I'll fix the tint

One does not simply run out of words. Thats like saying the world will run out of oil. Oh wait...

[The90sKid]

You could repeat words, it wouldn't really matter.
And maybe turn up the contrast a little bit.

[sd1833]

The concept would work better in execution if the words were smaller, and their colors varied according to the original render, so that they appear more subtle at a distance and become more obvious when viewed at a higher resolution. Something like this:

Whether that's too much to ask I'm not sure, but there's no doubt it'd be a more effective method.

Ummm, not seing the picture, but I get what you're saying. I hope I can get it done before the time the comp is over.

Yeah, I'm not either, actually. Here's a link just to be specific: http://www.webdesign.org/photoshop/text-effects/text-made-image-exclusive-tutorial.6327.html

Thank you

Alright V2 is here. The time is 3:14 in the morning, hope you all like it. Remember the theme is story, so tell me if I'm portraying that well so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Crap you can't see that well at all.

[The90sKid]

It's looking good, I think you should overlay some more of those light lines on the front, but not too much.

[twoxT]

Awesome but are you going to do the same effect to the renders on the back?

[Daemon]

Much better.

That might be overkill.

You know the drill. Also, I'm still looking for something to put in the empty space, or maybe nothing at all.

[BioHazard-92]

Looking good. The only complaint I have so far is that even though Ezio is made out of words on the front, he's hard to see and is easily missed. Not a big fan of that but the back is looking nice so far

I can probably up the contrast a bit.

[madoublex]

Ok, this is what I'm hoping is the final version. I thought the front was WAY too bright, so I gave it more of a dark, leathery texture, I added a bit more of a description, (foucusing more on story than gameplay for obvious reasons.) I'm about ready to but the ESRB info on this one and send it off to judging. Anything else I should change?

On the back, try moving the description text up above the pink thing.

Like this?

I really like where this is going. I think for the front, the title should not have that drop shadow on it. Maybe add a slight outer glow instead. For the back, I'm not sure that a lengthy tagline is the best choice. Maybe just cut it down to "I will seek Vengeance" or something like that. Also I would pick a different font for the back text.

[madoublex]

To say I'm proud of how far this design has come would be an understatement. I appreciate everyones help, and I would like to present to you, what I think, will be one of the final versions to this box. Tomorrow is my last day to work on this, so get your comments in while you can :)!

Looks awesome you captured the story well, something my box didn't come close to do. I would however recommend removing the white glow from the text on the back and maybe organizing it a bit better. And good luck to you for comp.

Thanks man, and good luck to you!

The previous front was a lot better.

[twoxT]

IMO I think it looked better before.

Really? It must be because the image is so small. At full size, the picture for the front became pretty blurry, and the colors looked a bit odd. I felt like darker tone would fix this problem, and make Ezio pop a bit more. If you guys really believe I should change it, I will.
