SNES “box art” project, making box inserts help/info needed. (pics)

[smokehouse]

Hello, as many here have I purchased the sleeved cases found HERE

Some use complete game art to fill the sleeved area but I don’t really need to do this as I have my stuff stacked as follows:



Using the box scans found HERE

After many hours in Photoshop, I came up with this (sample page):


The “end-cap” insert, this is a sheet that will print on a standard 8”x11” piece of paper. I wanted something that can be printed at home on a home quality printer, not something you have to spend massive bucks on like the Neo Geo MVS Shock Box inserts I have.

I have 25 finished so far. The scans found on The Cover Project although complete are often either damaged, poorly scanned or a European cover. Most require quite a bit of time to resize and to rework. The original scans have off colors, poorly scanned logos or damaged scans, I’ve had to clean many of them up quite a bit. I’ve also taken a few liberties in the name of consistency and quality but the outcome is great. I’d like to start a database of the “end-cap” inserts but I need more game box scans (mostly of the side of the box, not the front. Any help would be great and for a few bucks I’d be glad to send out CD’s with these on them for anyone who has these cases and wants the artwork.) I currently have them saved in high-res Photoshop format so a single sheet is about 6Mb on disk, thus me not wanting to email them.

Finished cases:



I will also be doing this for other games that fit in these cases after this project is finished. (N64, Genesis, loose CD games, ect).


Let me know what you guys think!

Looks great! Will you submit your spines to the coverproject site?

After looking at some from a distance I see I still have a few things to correct, Cybernator is off from the others.


BTW, I know DKC is not so hot but it was simply too hard to re-work due to the complicated background on the case.

After I'm done...I'll submit them all.





I still need quite a few that are missing from the cover web site. I still need the following:

Q*Bert 3
Final Fight 2
Final Fight 3
Pocky & Rocky
EVO
Rival Turf
NBA Jam
Actraiser 2
Super Turrican
Super Bowling

Any help would be great!

The SNES Cover Project is quite meager and you're lucky if there is a cover for a game as rare as an R2. With all the people on Digital Press with their extensive collection of rares, I don't see why. Start scanning people. Let's get an R7 on there.

Once I get into my new apartment, I will be scanning the boxes I have. If someone wants to photoshop them up, send me a PM. All I would ask is that the photoshopped scans get returned to me so I can put them up on my website.
