Hello again people.

I have a project to redesign a DVD, Game or CD cover. Im a gamer so i picked a game cover. I redesigned BF2 because i love this game. The feel i get from the org covers is clean and polished. I think the game is gritty and more grungy, so i went with that style. What do you think?


THIS is the org cover (http://www.baerlinonline.de/clan-verzeichnis/img/bf2-cover.jpg)

wow noce job! I htink yours should to be the original cover... i find it way more interseting and eye catching.

Shouldn't you tag the case with "PS3, Wii, Xbox 360", or something along those lines??

Looks good though. A little dark perhaps.

Nice. I love BF2, and play often.

Cover looks great! The only thing I think I would like to see different is the tank on the right. Its a copy of the front tank. I would like to see it pointing its barrel to the right more. Our right, not the tanks right.

Great job though, looks cool!

I think you need some breathing room between the top of the 2 and the frame around the image. It looks crowded how its crashing into the frame. Pull the 2 and the battlefield lettering down a bit.

OK i have a few differ designs done so il post links instead of images.
Which is best?
Thanx for all the comments guys and gals.

I think the blown out paper motiff looks bad. I wouldn't use it but that is a personal pref.

I like the 2nd to last one but maybe the big 2 should be breaking out of the top of the box like the B and D in battlefield do. again, doing this to keep the top of the 2 from lining up with the top of the frame.

I actually love, LOVE the blown out paper one provided it was pushed further. Are you actually designing the box (and can make a tangible version) instead of a 2d slip cover?

Rather than a picture of blown out paper, use a separate slip cover that's actually blown out (like you've got the plastic case w/ cover, and then you've got the slip cover over that with the paper puncture). You won't be using a rendering of a hole, you'll be using an actual hole. If you've got access to a range, actual shotgun peppers, pistol rounds or rifle rounds might be worth some experiment too (the burn and powder marks are always a fun touch).

I am pushing it further and i was thinking of doing the box render just for extra points..lol

Access to a range or guns is a no, i will be surfing to get better images for a looooong time i think..lol
