Useful links to help with Box art.

[E_G]

Ok here’s some links to multimedia people might find useful for making box arts.

http://www.lyris-lite.net/covers.html
Lyris lite net contains some templates back and front to download for box arts, they are big files that use a lot of space but you could always resize them and they’re in very good resolution and sharp if you need that.
Lyris is fine with you using them.

Wikipedia is a great site for getting free-use media, the ratings are there and click for hi-res and copy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESRB
Want a hi-res Nintendo seal of Quality logo just Wiki it up.

Da Font has some video game and professional looking fonts for use, if you have trouble downloading a file.
Simply print screen a font preview and copy on to paint.

There’s Moby games aswell which has quality scans of official retro and new games box art, just search for a game and click on box art, great for inspiration.
