@Samuel: I can totally see those as alt-art covers, I'm kind of kicking myself because I thought about doing that but didn't because "Nah, that's TOO simple!" but those look great!

I haven't tried yet, as I was awaiting your final version with "M Rating" etc.

My version for cover
On game release day i'll upload psd You will be able to remove the logo and did a clean finish.
Good day to everyone!

I think people should make it look like another game cover.

Use correct fonts, add official promo screenshots at the back cover, add minimum / recommended specs, add small promotional story to tell something about the game that makes me want to buy it, put both Frictional Games and The Chinese Room logos into it and use the correct cover art.



My thoughts about it.

It's pretty much done. I didn't put everything on there, but college is busy and I frankly spent too much time on this already.

(If it prints too dark, adjust printer brightness)



Maybe we can make a new thread that *just* has the artwork on the first post? Pin it?

Now we're talking! It's near perfect. Only thing, I would add 'Amnesia' into the side bar.
If I someday choose to print myself a copy of the game, I probably use this one.

2 little things (coming from someone who was the only one during academy times who loved the layouting tasks): On the backside, move the Amnesia logo up until it is halfway between the upper border of the transparent overlay and the introductory text. Second: less text on the introductory text. This way you can push the screens and system specs a bit upward to give the company logos more room to breathe.

On a side note: I`d go for full justification instead of left alignment for the text. But it is ok.

Now that I looked closely, there are few small things that I noticed.
Logos aspect ratios differ from each other. TCR logo in the back cover is different from the two others. Frictional Games' logo in the center is also squeezed.
Amnesia logo in the front cover isn't centered correctly. It is more on the left. Also 'System Requirements' text shouldn't include ':' sign. It is already covered in the Minimum and Recommended text.
I would also move the text upwards, as DavidS said, since there's empty space.

But I'd still use this.

Apart from the suggestions already made, I think it would look better if the middle part had some sort of background and not be plain black. Btw, the reqs are outdated.

But that's how I like the cover. Meaning the original art, not something noone will ever see.

God, I never want to do layouts again. XD

Fine, I'll make your changes, but don't be surprised if you see a pig's head on your front lawn tomorrow. : P

EDIT: Where are the updated reqs?
