Woohoo! Hi everyone, I'm a newbie around here, and this is my first box. I also uploaded it on my deviantART profile (link) so if you happen to see it, don't think that I just "stole" it (DemonOfRazgriz323 is my deviantART profile), it's 100% my own piece of work. The image I used for the front side can be found here --> link the backround of the back side here --> link .Please feel free and go as hard as you want on me with critique, I'm always open to comments! Both good and bad... xD

#1, Welcome =]

Well its good for a first. I just think you need to add something to make the screenshots pop. The text isn't so bad,but can use some pop,too. I like the front and i think you did well with your logos.

Nick_The_Gimper...hmm...MugglesMan111, possibly?

The front looks nice, but the back needs some work, maybe add some borders, smaller screenshots and a little more text.

Wow, a really good start :D

I like the grit of this box whereas the rest of the Gran Turismo boxes are the typical crispy, clean, shiny ones.

Good job and welcome to the site! (:

#1 Thanks! I am a bit unsure about the back as well... migh work on it later, thanks for the comment!

#2 Just searched that guy (MugglesMan111), but I asure you I have nothing to do with him xD. Will work on the back... maybe making the screenshots a bit transparent was a bad move... As for my user name, it's nick because its my name, and gimper because I love GIMP xD

#3 Thank you for the comment! I really like the front as well... Without wanting to play it a smart-ass, I personally feel it feels very... Gran Turismo... Just my opinion though! xD And thanks again for the comment!

#5, Alright, it just looked like you had something to do with him because his name is also Nick and he uses The Gimp.

#10 Don't worry! I will fix that just give me 2-3 days cuz i got some nasty coursework stuff to do for school... :S I'll try and upload a second one when done with that! Count on me! xD

here's the funny bit... I finished this on Friday (took me about 7 hours! My biggest GIMP project to date!) and then registered on this site... But I had to get that activation e-mail... And for 3 days, the activation e-mail was in my "junk" folder, and I didn't even notice! When I discovered this today I was just soooo frustrated! :S Anyway, my account is fortunately active now xD

#18, I have a devaintart account with some pretty old stuff which I'm not really proud of (besides my guitar hero: mario boxart) --> link

#19, I think a black glow would look even nicer.
