Title: dvd cover Post by: MilesTeg on January 05, 2008, 10:18:26 AM Happy new year everyone!
For the fun of it I made a DVD-box cover for OpenArena. Tell me what you think. cheers Miles Title: Re: dvd cover Post by: fromhell on January 05, 2008, 02:22:14 PM What about the mid section for the side part?
The background picture and font of the title isn't good choices though IMO. Title: Re: dvd cover Post by: w1zrd on January 05, 2008, 02:23:23 PM Looks really nice, only one remark...would it not look a bit strange when there is no face on the cover when folded as a cover? (the part which is visible when you place it like a book)

@w1zrd: I've already fixed that @fromhell: any suggestions for font type and background? @dmn_clown: I'm not sure if it's useful to include every possible OS on the planet (that's why I left out all linux derivatives), but for the sake of BSD-fans... ;) Title: Re: dvd cover Post by: iLeft.bye on January 05, 2008, 07:35:29 PM dvd?
just loss of space imho I use cd Title: Re: dvd cover Post by: MilesTeg on January 05, 2008, 08:13:48 PM it's about the dvd-BOX (= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keep_case )
sure, you can decide if you use a dvd or cd... the cover I made suggests the latter :P Title: Re: dvd cover Post by: w1zrd on January 06, 2008, 09:14:58 AM dvd? Actually the technology today is advancing too fast...try making a video in a program such as Adobe Encore, then you don't have the possibility to burn it to a standard CD-ROM disc, the only options are DVD's or BluRay :(just loss of space imho I use cd Title: Re: dvd cover Post by: iLeft.bye on January 06, 2008, 10:07:45 AM I printed it sticked the corners and put the cd inside it
Title: Re: dvd cover Post by: Ylle on January 08, 2008, 06:11:34 AM Borrow the text from the OA titlescreen. Also the darker area should extend around the explanation text. Also, I think the screenshot used is a little too, well, um red, maybe something more easy on the eyes? Idk. But yeah, this is just my opinions...
Is there a source xcf (or whatever) I might take a peek at? Title: Re: dvd cover Post by: MilesTeg on January 13, 2008, 07:31:09 AM http://www.opencontentgames.org/oastuff/oss-dvd-box-openarena.xcf.7z
