I really like the level of quality that you're putting into these inserts. I just wonder if that image on the back of the MVS multislot may end up being overused after a time. It's cool for now, but it also seems a bit arbitrary(?).

YES - I totally agree!
And finally somebody has the guts to say it :)
My intention was to make it really obvious that it's an MVS game and make it different from the AES insert.
It worked out well for 'older' titles like Fatal Fury or World Heroes but in 'newer' titles like Last Blade it seems a bit misplaced.

So what to do about it? If this wasn't so time-consuming I'd sure come up with better stuff but I'd love you guys to come up with ideas and share your thoughts as well.
Thanx Trenog!

Added a new one: Savage Reign

If you think that this one was just a copy/paste-job you're soo wrong ;-)
All the characters, the background, the logos, everything is a layer, even the lightning.

Just because I'm curious:
Did anyone actually print and use one of the inserts?

If you like what I'm doing please gimme some feedback.

Breakers Revenge Artwork needed!

To fill the request for a Breakers Revenge insert I need some hi-res artwork.

Preferably one of those:
breakrev_marquee.png


breakrev_flyer.png


If you have either the flyer or the marquee please get in touch with me!
Thank You!

If you're using photoshop, save them as PDF so the resolution doesn't change when trying to print it.

What are you referring to?
I use Photoshop and Illustrator to make printable PDFs containing both pixel- and vector-based elements.
I'm sure there's no problem when printing my files.
I just need those artwork files to make an insert for "Breakers Revenge"

I've made a better back-cover for BTGolf, all vectors and fresh screenshot images, but I need your help to complete it:
Anyone who can write japanese on his keyboard can help! Just type the stuff from the back-cover so can copy and paste it.

ALSO: Anyone who's able to provide some hi-res images of AES inserts, flyers, marquees can help out as well.
Thanks!

Where can I download the high res versions of all of these. I don't see a download option on PICASA. Am I missing something?

That's exactly what I was getting at. I don't see any download links, only a picasa gallery that has jpegs.

Just click on the download-dropdown menu above the image. The Link to download the hi-res version will then be shown.

These are really cool mate, if you make a more complete set i might ditch my current inserts and go for these.

That's my master plan :)
Support me! -> Supply hi-res artwork or scans and I'll make every cover you want.

Make a List of what games you need inserts for and request them here. I will then try to produce covers in that order.
