There is a fine line between minimal and lazy. Too me this is lazy. The box itself is not bad, but it is just a wallpaper with some logos and text. Here is a good example of a minimalistic box: link
and here is lazy: link

Maybe I'm on the wrong site but I don't want to put screenshots on the back, I don't want official publisher logos etc but thanks for clearing that up
Thats not it, Its the fact that this is a wallpaper. You don't have to have logos and screens. You need to show me how this is a minimalistic box, to me it is just a wallpaper.
Simplicity is more than just placing a wallpaper on a template, and some text. Simplicity is art. Simplicity takes work, as you have to delve into the essence of whatever you are trying to portray and present it in a simple matter.
@LeviSJ Look my friend, you can use others advice in forum to complete your box.!! So you can upload it in WIP thread in forum before uploading it in the main site.!! You do this for your next boxes, body.!! Use others notes and improve your talent by practice, then you can be a great designer.!! Learn effects, filters, styles and lots of other things.!! Good luck.!! :)
@lilix Thanks for the advice, I am trying to use the WIP, I have a box in there now but I honestly was happy with this so uploaded it, did not expect so much backlash
@Martiniii332 Sorry if i seem grumpy this was just what I thought to be my best piece yet, I'm working on something that hopefully will be more fitting with the expected work of the site but so far my photshoping skills are hindering me
it's not complete !

I never said this was good, but simplicity is what I am going for so any advice would be helpful rather than just criticizing it

@LeviSJ I said you have to understand the essence of the game.

@tomB yeah, listen to Bastart. Not to attack you, but this site is for those who are into meticulous designing for box covers.
