Very plain, the text colors clash with the background (I'd stay away from using multiple types of text gradients, unless that's wordart, which you should avoid completely) Logos are too big, halo games aren't made for the pc anymore and you used multiple fonts on the background. And the words flood onto the spine at some points. Try Paint.net- it's a free program which is simple and easy to get used to- it also has a LOT more functionality than paint and with the right plugins you can open psds, which means you'll be able to use a lot more of the resources here.
On top of what DDWariior already pointed out, try to match your background to the game you're making a box for. The background you chose for the back really has nothing to do with Halo. It looks like some random desktop wallpaper. For a Halo game some kind of space background would work much better. Something to keep in mind for next time.
v2. Added backgrounds. (Back one is not permanent just for a bit)Nasty white line removed but enlarged because stupid thingy says has to be 700 pixels (If someone can tell me how to fix this would be grateful) See you later and give thoughts please!
Version 3! Changed the HALO logo on the front- Changed the background on the back, added pic, added info about the game and added Uber Puppet Logo at the bottom of the back!
Hi, my first box. I did this using paint. Would like some good crit. =)Thanks.
