and i was gonna put a special edition bar ryan...but then i remembered that people think my boxes all look the same so i took it off. xD as for the placement...i like it. :P
Well, after pondering some of the reasons I both like and dislike this, I've finally found the right words to use.
Well, first I'll tell you what I like. I like the fact that the box is uniformed from front to back, the classic Max Payne brick background is put to perfect use here, and I like the "under exposure" of the logo. The front has a nice and simple design which compliment's Max's somewhat solitary life. It's not clustered or complicated, however I do thing there were a few things left out.* The back is good from the special features down.* I love that special features box!
* On the front I think you should have included one of those "Wide Screen Edition" bars at the top, just to round the design out. The front, as nice as it is being that simple, is almost "too" simple.
* The top half of the back looks a bit unorganized, and rushed. I think there's a tagline missing, which, in my opinion, all action genre movies require. (I just think it helps to add a nice little ring to everything) The plot text could be centered across the box, or margined to make room for the tagline (if it were staggered or something), and the snapshots could use better borders. Perhaps something that goes with he setting of the movie/game setting more than just red bars.
Overall, I'd have to say it's decent, but without some of those key elements (borders/tagline/editions bar), it just looks all to empty, and less like the actual Movie box, but more like the paper cover slip.
The screenshots look a little off, I think it's the way they're staggered or something, and even though the film is in color, I think if you made the screenshots black and white, they would work more with the box design.
I do like how the image spans the front and back though.
#32, I see what you mean about the screens, but I think keeping it in color makes it a visual point of interest. Gotta say, you really found your strong suit. I like the texture in behind the Special Features tab.
I need to see this movie sometime or another. I'll probably wait til it gets on cable, though.
I loved this movie. :D
oh and this is my 100th box people! whoot!

why did you ban master-chief-rocks-halo for?, you're tight, he said he was sorry. why?
[ Reply ]
#24, gamerking can't ban people, that guy got banned for stealing other people's work.
[ Reply ]
i can't ban people. lol it was his own fault for stealing boxes he didn't create
