Steam Game Covers

New to the site, and cover making basicially.

Wasn't happy with the current one up there, since it's only one, and I need 3 to do a 4.3Gb DVD-R backup. So I made these.

Any suggestions before I submit it?

Cheers.



Also, if anyone is interested, I have modified the Steam Covers template to one for Good Old Games / GOG.COM

Hi Ingram, welcome to the site. Your cover looks great. The only suggestions I would recomend are adding the company logos - EA, etc... and maybe the legal text commonly found around the edge of the disc (you can find this at the bottom of the steam game page). You can also add the ESRB rating if you like. That's just what I would do because I like my covers to look like retail discs. Feel free to do what ever you like, though. I don't want to put limits on people's creativity. I do love how you used the official box image. It's a great image and very ready for upload - as is.

As far as GOG is concerned, that is something I wouln't mind implementing in the future. Getting HQ scans of older games is going to be a little tough. For now I'd like to focus on Steam games and the Steam community. Who knows what the future might bring.

Could you please host all the logo's etc you just mentioned on the website? Including them in the PSD file as hidden layers or something would be even better.

Hey Ingram, it would be too many logos to find, orgainze, and host if I were to do this for every game.

You can easily run a search for them on your own. Just type "EA GAMES LOGO" (or whatever logo you're looking for) into your favorite search provider then filter the results to view as "images". Find a good enough image and stick it onto your cover.

Had trouble finding a decent quality PC DVD-Rom Software logo, still haven't found a good one. So a low quality one is being used until someone can post a better one.

Here is V2 of the design, as well as a picture of a genuine copy of the disc for comparisons sake.

Hopefully this is suitable enough for uploading

Hey Ingram, your cover looks fantastic! Great job! Here is a site that has some logos that you were looking for:

I take it you're happy with the labels, I shall upload them soon.

That's already the website I got the logo's from.They're a little low quality unfortunately, and I don't have whatever program it is you need to open the files that you can download. So I have to use the image on the site.

Hey Ingram, here's another link:

Hey Ingram, I'm a goof. You can just easily download another cover with the PC-DVD ROM logo that you want and cut-n-paste it on to your cover. Easy solution!
