The Last of Us Box Cover Comments
Comment on Tian1354's The Last of Us Box Art / Cover.
Hey, welcome to VGBA! :) We are probably not the greatest people you'll ever meet.
This box is far too empty. It's missing developer logos, a rating, and a lot of text and screenshots for the back. It's basically just half of a template with a wallpaper. You should look around for some inspiration on how to do boxes! Also, give credits for templates.

Thanks for the advice! This was really just practice at a minimalist design. Its just my first so the next will be better, I promise ;)

Hey, don't sweat it, we all started at some point. If you're going for a minimalist design, you have to make sure there is some 'catch' in it, something that draws attention and maybe even has a message - also, I'd advice you not to just put a logo on a wallpaper, because that's not really what most people on here want to see.
But you've got all the time in the world to get better. So keep it up, and I'm looking forward to your next. :)

Welcome, I like the idea of an minimalist design. But this is still far too empty.
Please check out these links to some minimalist designs which you might get some inspiration from. Even though these have a minimal amount of design they still are attractive and enough to hold the viewer interested.
Good luck in the future

Vince, sorry to say that, but your Last of Us minimalist cover isn't that great either. It has sucky contrast :/

That's why I put it at the bottom because out the 3 it's the worst one. I wasn't saying its the best. I was just showing some minimal design cases that might give him inspiration. Him and me have both tried to do a minimal design TLOU case, so it made sense to show him that too.

@Vince_1990 fair enough.

Welcome. It might be a little scary, but don't feel discouraged. Let all your creativity out and practice over time. The more you grow the more your boxes will grow. Spill your heart onto your box and you'll learn alot here.
Your box as you've heard is empty. True. But the best thing for minimalist design is when the box tells the story of the entire game, or a significant part of the entire game while not revealing anything at all.
At least, that's what I try to go by. Especially for games I have played before. Have a look around. Don't be afraid to ask questions either.
