They both look like book cover fonts to me, though.

Pick whatever font you want then its your box.

Pick whatever font you want then its your box.

This, though it is great to get ideas from other people, you always want to make sure you please your self more than the people.

I don't mean to get anyone annoyed, I just don't want people to dislike a box simply because of font choice.

Nothing you have posted has looked "bad." With the way it is blended, I think that most fonts would fit nicely there. As the others have said, do what you want, as long as it isn't a batman font or something...

In my opinion font choice will not matter with this box. If you don't want it to look like a book cover try a font that is like a brush stroke.

If people want to say, "change this and I'll fav", then their opinion doesn't matter anyway, if that's what you're worrying about.

If you truly think that your choice of font is the best choice, then use it.

Hmm?



The back's not finished, unless you guys think it looks good textless. I'll need help with that, though, since I'm garbage at backs.

So, um...hmm? Is good so far?

[jesse777]

Looks excellent thus far.

[7sk]

Thanks.

Any suggestions for what to do with the back?

Thanks.

Nothing comes to my mind so far.

[Sentroavium]

Try doing something, usually if I just throw in some renders, some screenshots, and text, I can adjust the three and it all comes together.

I personally add text first.

[7sk]

(concerned)

Could you mock something up in Paint, just with little blocks showing where you'd put things? I'm having trouble with placement.

[Sentroavium]

Back layouts really seem like a big issue.

If I were to work on this back myself, this wouldn't be ideal, but this is just for reference.

Similar to what I had thought of doing, minus the render. I think at this point, it's the font choice that's taking up most of my thoughts.

That said, I'm a huge font nerd, so it may be the most time-consuming aspect of this.

[7sk]

Hmm, how's this now?



Template by...Master General, I think, but with some modifications.

[Sentroavium]

Try giving every font in all caps on the back the same exact gradient that the logo has on the front.

The thing is that it's not a gradient, it's two layers, the second one with overlay blending and the first with a layer mask. But I can try doing a manual gradient.

That's for the morning, though, I off to bed. Thanks for your help.

[7sk]

How's this?

[jesse777]

Give those screen shots some screen borders behind them.

[LooseJuice]

Everything is awesome except the screenshots. I'd like to see so continguity in them and also made a border of some sort.
