[madoublex]

Oh ok, I understand the overall idea now. Can't wait to see it when its done!

Ok, I created three new versions.

OLDER VERSION REMOVED, POINTLESS.

Now I'm stuck, because I can't decide which one is better. Ideas, suggestions, anyone?

[amad2]

I prefer the first one.

[madoublex]

They are all so awesome. I think #2 is my favorite

[twoxT]

This.

Hello again, and thank you for your comments, it was very helpful. I finished another step, and I can say it's pretty much the final layout and I'm pretty satisfied. So unless you have comments or suggestions (always welcome BTW!), I'll post it before the end of the week with my other boxes. Then, it will be updated with the correct requirements and ESRB ratings when the game will be out.

Holy shit that is awesome! The only small thing i'd knock is a lack of screens and blurb, but i think it would ruin it anyway, so i'd leave it as it is!

Post away, i'll be on the look out for it!!

[Abrao]

Here is the final layout. The ESRB and Win-Mac logos are up to date, and their size are the correct one (I measured thanks to an old box).

On the back, should I put a short description with screenshots, or it will be too much? Do you think it's good to be officially published?

Alright, I've made some MM art for a Mega Man box I'm creating, tell me what you think. I was going for a official art style, but it turned out to be my own style instead.

Pretty good!
Much better than any of my first boxes.

The bosses at the bottom are pretty good, but Mega Man looks out of proportion.

[Strange Metool]

There's a reason the arms are out of proportion - I was trying to do the whole perspective/3D effect by making the hand and blaster bigger than the rest, but the hand ended up being too small and the blaster too big, and the curves were added to make it more cartoony. I added Sharpie to the original pencil drawing to help Inkscape trace the image, so that's why the outlines are thick.

I think if you were to put a description or screenshots, you should put very minimal. You don't want to cover up the artwork. It does look really nice the way it is. I would flip a coin.

Hey guys...
Was wondering what the physical size of a PS3 cover is?

If you need any more info, this thread might help (don't mind the bots, they like it here)

Thanks, but I need the physical dimensions mate, not the digital ones...

Ah okay, well according to an IGN board they're 27.2cm x 14.9cm.

Is that for the front only, or front, spine and back?

[Reza]

Thats front, back and spine width all together.
