My first boxart. I'm moderately happy with this, actually. I mean, I think it all comes together nicely, and the composition looks official enough. This only exists out of necessity, really, as I noticed there were no covers for this to replace the awful 'Manga Force' front that my version has, and this led me to design my own.
The only part I'm not happy with is the text on the back. The font seems a little off, which is why I'm seeking feedback. It's up for download if you want to replace your PAL release too, so go nuts. You can edit and change it up all you want, I don't mind, as I technically don't own any of the resources present.

Not bad for a first! I think you could've done more with the text on the back, for instance you could use a more interesting font and play around with the placement a little as it looks a little bland right now but otherwise I really like it!

Thanks a bunch. Yeah, the text kinda irks me now, looking back on it. I'll take in what you said and play around a bit with some other stuff, see what I can come up with.

Not bad for a first. The basics are there - you managed to not distort stuff (as far as I can see), so now it's time to get creative. Use the WIP section in the forums for more feedback, look around for inspiration! Welcome to the site.

The welcome is appreciated. I really just wanted to get the basics of box design down before I went a little too far off the beaten path, almost as a confidence builder. I'll jump in the forums and check out some of the stuff, try to work something out that's unique.

Great cover for your first box, try to add 3d next time. If you use gimp, use the perspective tool and use a template to base your design. Also try to improve the font by using a more comic like font: Badaboom BB (i think thats what its called)is good. For your first, 8/10, for just a cover, 6/10.
