le geek's Shockbox Insert Thread

[HeavyMachineGoob]

How come none of these covers have the game's title printed on the front? Seems kind of silly to me. I appreciate when a game says what it's name is when I look at the front.

Most games already have more traditional insert designs, many of which are available on Southtown Homebrew. This general layout was originated by NeoCverA a few years ago to highlight the art and avoid the grey and we kind of ran with it. At this point the insert scene is mostly dead and ultimately I am making what I'd like myself.

Anyway to each their own, and you are welcome to slap a logo on anything.

Cheers,
Ben

None of the Ironclad inserts actually has "Ironclad" written anywhere on the insert, be it on the front, back, or the spine. XD

I've always been a fan of Le Geek's insert style ,especially the title-less front covers. Great stuff man.

Thanks for the amazing work le geek. I got more than 140 MVS cards all in shockboxes and I love your fullfrontal inserts.
I wish you'll made one for all games didn't have for the moment. Thanks again^^

All of 50 people would DL that B2B insert. XD

Check that, it's 49, since le geek himself has one of the 50 copies.

Heh, if ten people download it, I'll be shocked.

 

[BIG BEAR]

You'd be shocked how many people DL that don't even own the system!!

Hi le Geek,

I 'm a fan of all your wonderfull Inserts and work.

I've made my own Ironclad Japanese Insert but i need your advise of what need to be improve on it.

Original size : 4575x2762

Best,
JacKc.

 

[le geek]

It looks really good, man! It's hard to find things to change, but you asked, so here it goes...I might move the Neo Geo bug on the front cover to the right side and line up the 178 meg box to the left, to better match other Japanese inserts. Then the front cover look a bit off center and unbalanced. I might move the robot a bit to the right. That's all I can think of, good work.

Cheers,
Ben

Ben your such a nice guy.

I saw it, first post, France.......
Reminded me of the bootleg showboats of the past. Sadly were all French. Never shared work or made anything available for the community, etc.

Kinda smelled that again here, hope I'm wrong but I know I'm right. Lol

 

[JacKc]

Thanks a lot Ben for your advices...I'll try to improve it and then when i will be satisfied, i'll try to post soon the archive here (PDF+JPG).

Hi,

According to LeGeek, i've review my copy and after some rework and some improvements, here's my final Japanese Ironclad Insert :

[BIG BEAR]

Good job,yet another one with plenty of play options...
Why is the image so large?? It's a PDF right? There's certain settings that will allow you to cut that down by a little more than half the size.

Hi BigBear,

The image is so large because i use Shockbox Template: All Genre (Alt JP style) from Southtown Homebrew with Photoshop CS5 and don't want to reduce size to make it easier to manipulate.

On a side note BigBear, any chance to submit my insert to SouthTown Homebrew?

best,
JacKc.
