About
Just a guy who enjoys Video Games, TV and Movie animation, story writing/telling, and other similar things. I own a PC, PS2 and PS3, PSP, 3DS, Wii, and I enjoy them all. My RPG Maker XP project is on indefinite hold due to lack of graphic/sound skills to make original material for the program.

So I got bored about two hours ago, and decided to make my own cover for "The GAF Collection." I'm no artist, but in 2 hours time I came up with something. I should have noticed the TOS first on the "no free email" for signing up on NeoGaf (a stupid thing I think but it's not my call.) So instead of posting it there, I'm going to post it here in my blog. Before seeing it (and yes I made it a printable size) note three things:



I used Paint.net, so there aren't any real fancy tricks here.

The images and even the font were found with a google search, so aside from the layout and that kind of thing, the pictures, the font, even the template don't belong to me.

I am NOT an artist by any means in the form of visual art. My artistic nature seems to come through stories and such (as seen by my in progress RPG MAKER XP project.)

Enjoy Destructoid community, my 2 hour creation, if you want me to upload the full printable version of the DVD case cover, ask in the comments.

Not a bad job at all.
Very nice!
The only thing I'd say is try and add a bit more visual flair, some variety, you know? Screenshots are always good, character ghosts, even just some lines or trim to break up the static black.

Good job though, especially since it sounds like you were working off a basic program without all the fancy bells and whistles of Photoshop and the like. Being a bit of a designer (loosely) myself, I'd like to hear your (and everyone else's) opinion of my own personal DVD cover I made for a class project.



It's darker than I would have liked, but we were going for that anyway. Plus our screenshots from Torque were incredibly dark too, so I couldn't do much. It's definitely worth investing (especially if you're a student) in Photoshop and Illustrator, if you like designing you'll go crazy with them.

Keep it up, man.
