Okay so, I've spent the better part of the past 3 or 4 days working on this cover and I'm really happy with the end result.
I like the original, but I've never felt that it did enough justice to the actual noir theme the game was based on, so with that in mind, I wanted to give it the justice it deserves. The back is completely based on the newspapers in the game.
I also want to say a massive thanks to Paper, Matknapers18, FrankBedbroken for helping me on the forums in my WIP thread, as well as my friend Paul on Skype for helping me finalise this cover with all the final layouts via screen share.
Thanks for looking!

Hi, I think it looks amazing. The front is really good but the one I'm in love with is the back. Super well structured and organized. Done with little colours and all the small details are in harmony. I'm actually designing a cover that shares this style. I hope it comes out as good as yours. Very well done Mr. Ben. :D

Looks awesome, I love the minimal colouring, it works really well. Sometimes I feel like great stylized boxes like this don't really need any of the legal guff on the back and front though, kinda takes away from the themes. Still looks great though.

I wish you'd have told me that before!
The legal stuff on the bottom was what I was fiddling around with last, haha. Thanks dude :)

Awesome box. The B&W works very well with the mobster theme. Just a perfect box. No complaints. Fav.

Will you enter this in the 5 colour comp? I mean it is only black and white and grey right?
[ Reply ]
Hey, good point. I suppose I could do!
Will it matter if it isn't exactly 5 colours though?
[ Reply ]
@BenBrownDesign It is a really great box, capable of winning the comp. I'm not sure about that tho ask on the forum thread and Paper will gladly assist you :P
[ Reply ]
@HyperBoy Prime The only thing I'm worried about with the 5 colour rule is that, even though it's black and white, there's probably a lot of different shades of greys (no pun intended haha) in the screenshots?
[ Reply ]
@BenBrownDesign Hm ur right. Idk hopefully you can enter it it is really good. Congrats on the HoF btw i knew it would happen eventually :D
