I made this in the weekend and finally finished it today by adjusting the text at the back.

I've put a lot of effort in this box I've made the renders myself, did a lot of masking and
I even made 3 versions to go with this box (one of wich is the Anarchy Edition) maybe,
I'll upload these versions later on?

I hope you guys like it?

Credits to 'Sens' for the template.

I have to say, this is an impressive custom box art! =)

Too bad the text on the back is pratically illegible

#5, well, thank you

I think the font size is a bit to small for your liking?

for me it's pretty clear and on the printable version, it's not to hard to read? just a bit on the small size.

if I make it bigger, it would be to dominant and heavy imo.

b.t.w. I really dig your Yakuza 3 box, it's awesome!

It's pretty nice. Text seems small but I can read it fine on the printable. I would recommend adding something above the screenshots, maybe some quotes or something because it seems empty now.

#7, I already thought I forgot something /:

Thanks for pointing me on that ;)

I can't really think of any quotes right now......
but, I can add them later on.

The front is awesome. But the back is pretty boring. The font choices are strange, it's too text-heavy, and the picture borders are very bland. Also, making less words and a bigger font would get rid of that empty space on the back.

#9, What do you suggest for the picture borders?
and I've already made something up for that empty space.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion and the fave, off course ;)

I really like this... I actually want to play rage... It looks like a rip off of borderlands and fallout but that is not a bad thing :D

#10, I couldn't tell ya... The biggest problem is the text though. Even in full view the words are impossible to read,. Just make it less of a story. Trust me, that's one of my biggest problems, but it will look alot better if you cut the words down and make the font bigger.

#13, I'll see what I can do in version 2 of the back. although, I don't agree with you about the fact,
that it's impossible to read :? no offence, but you wear glasses, as I can see at your avatar lol

no seriously, i agree with you that the size of the font needs to bigger and you're also right,
about the part of the 'story' and that I have to cut it down a bit. I'm gonna work on these things.

I've made an update on the back;

* Changed the fonts of the Header and description to a more
appropriate font type and made the font size a bit bigger on the text.

* Added some E3 Awards to the blank space that was left.

* Added a shadow to the website line rage.com

Thanks for the input and I think the back looks better now.

#14, I don't wear glasses, and I have 20/20 vision. :P

It's alot better now, but I still think the font needs to be bigger and the words need to be cut back. Your seeing the font from the printable, which is alot easier to read. It's still too many words imo, but other than that it looks great.

Love the tag on the back! Very clever stuff. It's a typographic rule that body text is basic and simple, never type long lines of text in hard to read typefaces. Have you tried using the logo that you don't have on the box on the front? That logo has more of a realistic look like the characters. Very nice.

Just remember because it's a font doesn't mean it applies to any text. Star Wars for example is a logo not a typeface. Someone made it into a font and used it in body text which looks horrible. The rule of thumb is you use creative typefaces in taglines and basic fonts in body text.

#17 just joking, wich part of the synopsis, you think I should get rid of, without losing to much info on the story?

#18, Thanks for explaining the typographic rules ;)

That info may come in handy with future boxes.

it's just a really nice font 'death rattle' and fits right in the theme of the wastelands, I think.

but, yeah it's a bit crowded.

Than I'll just have to look, for a more serene font for the body text.

Thanks for the help and input.

Really nice. You could make the guys on the front fit onto the background more.

I'm not really liking that front, it's something about the colours or something, I'm not sure, but I just don't really like it :/

#20 Thanks, I'll see what I can do about that.

#21, Alright, everybody has their own look on it, I like it, though. Thanks for the comment, anyway ;)

version 3 is up.

* I've changed the font on the back to a more clearer one, cut back some lines of text and made it a bigger size.

* Adjusted the background on the front to blend in more with the characters.

#6, Hum, yeah just like you said the text on the back is full legible in the printable (i didn't notice there was a printable version), but looking it again, you updated your box, right? Now I can perfectly read the text both on the box and printable. Well done, my friend!
