@iman pro it's not a problem, it's called 'constructive criticism' get over it.

Completely agreed, also not a fan of the font used for the tagline, seems a bit cheesy compared to the rest of the imagery. Other than that, it's good.

@iman pro Yes. It is MY biggest issue with it. My opinion is based off of my education, tutorage, and experience in graphic design which I been doing for more than a decade. The information is derived from lectures, books, and professors in the field of design.

Anyway, I digress. I really hope you realize different fonts does not mean different items (even a quick google search result will show you such: link. In fact, it’s very popular with the vintage logo designs (link. The reason why I point this out, is because it seems you put so much work into the rest of the box and decided just to throw everything into a corner. It doesn’t work well in terms of legibility and balance.

If need be, I will pull out my books to support my criticism due to the hostility behind responses I been seeing lately in comment sections when it comes to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. I am not here to stroke people’s egos nor do I expect the same in return. I would think people who post on this site enjoy making boxarts and having the platform to show them, but I also think they would want to improve and learn from the experience. This is the reasoning why I made my account.

But, this general attitude of mine is just coming from pent up anger toward the shit I been seeing around lately. I am bothered by the fact that people take their time to actually give feedback, to only have it shit upon. And I’m not talking about the feedback like ‘good job’ or ‘you suck’. The latter is a shit type of comment and those type of people are the ones that suck—but there is nothing wrong with saying ‘good job’ unless it becomes a constant orchestra. Where do you learn if you react poorly to someone having a different opinion?

Generally, if someone says they like something and don’t like something, yes it is an opinion, but it exists because it is to give you another perspective. It’s the same kind of mentality in the design field, especially when you’re working with cliental in order to provide them satisfaction. When it comes to the subject here—it’s obvious you like doing videogame boxes and I have seen significant growth in your work but to dismiss the type of constructive comments that helped you ‘grow’ would be an insult to the people who want to see you continue to grow.

@iman pro you say that you respect constructive criticism, yet when I gave some on matin's ROTTR cover he reacted badly and then you and him purposely came and criticised my latest work, almost as if you were getting revenge. :/

@TheTombRaider theres Criticism for every design I know cuz they are designers and the talk with experience, but sadly there is many people here who not designers and came here to say bulshits to show Themselves. for exmple that TheTombRaider user. I want to stay away but he making me to say him trues. that guy is nothing to me but what can I do when he call me on anyone else post ?
you all can see when this guy show up like now he come and show himself to say something out of subject. I can't see nothing worth being a designer inside him
and he haven't power of designing great covers so he start crying and beggary for fave cuz one of biggest designers here I mean my friend iman Criticism his cover and he said true about his Amateur boxart and he TombRaider couldn't take it ! grow up child.
that child need kind words and attention from other desingners for faves.

please everyone go and fave that child just maybe he stop crying and baggary.He needs you. he can't design a great cover.

in the end I say it cuz you did propaganda your amateur boxart. I suggest to other designer to judge between me and TheTombRaider latest box. pepole doing best judges . . .

@iman pro I'm not saying designing to make everyone happy. My criticism just lies in the fact I been seeing a lot of disrespect to those who give constructive feedback. People take their time to give feedback and give you an opinion—the least you can do is thank them and/or try to see why they gave such an opinion. It's just common courtesy.

My comment was winded, mainly because I feel like this has been a growing issue and wished to have a civilized discussion about the matter. I respect a lot of your designs, but lately I just haven't been respecting the attitude I've seen happening.
