I'm done.
Unless something looks terrible after it's printed.
I've got 3 options available:
Clean cover

Meg Count and Neo-Geo logo, sized to compliment the image
http://www.geocities.com/nickgoracke/pochifinal.jpg
Cropped Legacy design

Each file is roughly 36 megs in bmp format. Resolution is... high.
Translation is already well on the way for a Pochi and Nyaa manual - if class projects go OK, you might see something as early as next week!
Thankyou everybody for the input and kind words. Hopefully everyone is satisfied... and modifications for a JP style spine would only take a short while if someone really wants one.

Alright, I *think* this is it...

File size is 36 megs (bmp). Tiptonium (and anyone else who runs a Shock-Box insert site), please feel free to contact me via AIM if you can host the file.
I guess the true test is having someone print it out to make sure everything looks OK. Then we'll have a true "final" draft.
Anyways, my next project is a Pochi and Nyaa manual. Gonna translate that whole Aiky website. Depending on where "real life" takes me, it may be a week or two before I have a draft ready, but...

2nd Draft
http://www.geocities.com/nickgoracke/pochisample3.jpg
Made the spine consistent with the rest, added meg count and company logo, flipped spine logo, changed coloring on "Neo Geo" in the front.
Thoughts....
I'd like to thicken the meg count font, possibly move the "cooking" image down a bit and expand the text/screenshots above it (less wasted space, more visibility), and... and what?
Not sure if I like the "red" Neo Geo. Better ideas? Maybe just a black outline around white letters?
How about the red striping in general - is there a "proper" color to use for a puzzle game?
I think I might do a JP style insert too... (remove the stripes and meg count and add a screenshot and genre identification on the spine). We'll see.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure how long this will stay "up" before reaching the bandwidth limit.
There's some "free space" on the back still... I'd like to fill it with something, but I don't want it to be crouded. If you've got some nice Pochi images, send 'em my way!
I'm also a bit worried about the text on the back - obviously it's unreadable at this sample resolution, but I wonder how it will look when it's printed out....
Also, anyone got the meg count and the proper meg-count font?
