Wii Sports Cover Art Project

[Survivor Charlie]

As many of you know, Wii Sports does not come in a standard Wii case, but rather a cheap, flimsy cardboard sleeve. This is unexceptable. Thus I'm issuing a challenge to the members of Cheap Ass Gamer.

I know you guys are very creative and highly talented. Certainly more so then I am. We need a slip cover for a DVD case for Wii Sports. I know someone here will come up with a really good one.

[Strell]

I'm in yur thread, lookin' for Wii Sportz coverz.

[banpeikun]

I'm here, lookin' for Strell.

Ok, I'll stop talking like that now.

I'm too lazy right to try to whip something up, but I'm sure somebody can do this. Where's Moxio when you need him? *Moxio Alert Call* I'll to take a stab at this tomorrow though.

[Yoohoo1231]

Wow that looks good. Now I have to find a white DVD case...

[Chrono72090]

Seems like Target is the best bet. I haven't been yet, but I keep hearing about the white DVD case that some DVD demo comes in. I'm gonna grab one tommorow after school.

That is pretty good! I never printed a cover before.. so are these already sized for it?? All I'd have to do it just.. print it and then everything would be just fine?

I have a preview disc from Target... so, I have a white case :)

Lo-res covers makes baby jesus cry.

Don't expect those to look good printed out. 72dpi is unacceptable. I'll be making my own.

[botticus]

Man, if they're gonna take the time to make a cover like that, at least put the controller designs in the corner properly. Needs to be a "4" remote and the nunchuk.

[daroga]

I already made... er... got mine.

It's special. You can't have it.

In all seriousness, once someone gets the game and some scans going, we'll do this. Remember, 300dpi or higher, people. 300dpi.

[iazybandit]

I'm in the process of making one. Obviously, there havent been much Wii SPorts images. Even if someone was to scan the Wii Sports, it wouldnt be that good as to the stock digital images that Nintendo should release.

You might get something of decent size, but not printable. The best bet is a scan of the sleeve and manipulated to fit on a DVD insert.

Best cover EVAR!1!

Try your local GS/EB. I stopped by GS to pick up Trauma Center and they were cycling out a lot of the display cases. I guess they had more Wii display cases than they needed so they were going to pitch them. Saved 2 from the garbage and asked for them to hold any more they were going to get rid of...

I didnt mean actual cover art but I meant images in general.

That's a great idea! I'll try there tomorrow.

Chances are that once the Wii is released, Nintendo will probably sell Wii cases in their online store since they sold the GameCube cases there, but getting them for free from EB/GS would be even better!

Just finalizing the size to make sure it prints fine.

[lilboo]

cool :)

[Spades22]

Wow iazy that is awesome good job =P, I'm guessing that little guy in the bottom is you? Lol I was gunna say you should take it out, but if its you I guess you deserve the credit for it.

[lilboo]

I guess the Mii character on the spine fits perfectly. Regardless of who it is.. the Mii characters ARE the characters in the game. Hurry up, I wanna print this LOL ;)

[iazybandit]

Wow iazy that is awesome good job =P, I'm guessing that little guy in the bottom is you? Lol I was gunna say you should take it out, but if its you I guess you deserve the credit for it.
I thought about putting me on it (i wear glasses) but decided to just make a normal Mii character since it goes along with the game

[daroga]

iazy wins. :)

That in the 200-300dpi range? :)

[iazybandit]

I guess the Mii character on the spine fits perfectly. Regardless of who it is.. the Mii characters ARE the characters in the game. Hurry up, I wanna print this LOL ;)
Wont be up till probably weekend or Monday. Printer at work is broken so I'm having gf print it out for me at her job

Dont remember. Regardless, image will not look sharp. There was no high res images. So images where from taken from the web. Even if I was to put it at 300dpi, images would be distorted, blurry and pixelated.

I'm a graphic designer so the images were put together in photoshop. Since PS sucks when it comes to text, the text in the back cover was put into InDesign since it would come out more clearer. Majority of the images was from that template that is floating on the web. The Wii Sports Cover was off the web (PAL version) and I shrunk it down just a little bit. Plus the PAL version of Wii Sports is a red color to the white, so I made it all white and the cover is US version. No PAL ratings or anything. The Wii Sports logo on the spine was from Nintendos site. ESRB ratings were taken off the web. Nintendo Logo were taken off the web (high res images). The screenshots of the games were from IGN.

[lilboo]

Well personally I'm not lookin for High-Res. Just something plain and simple and ISN'T blurry.

Doesn't gotta be tip top perfection with color. :)

[Dijital]

You know we shoudl talk to CheapyD about starting a sub-forum for custom game covers where users can submit work and also give tips to others I mean I'd love to be able to do stuff like that just not that talented and not really sure how to do it.

[megashock5]

Any way to post a PDF? I took one that someone on IGN boards made and vectorized most of it, and changed out the screenshots for higher-res ones.

[Javery]

Awesome megashock5! (per usual :D ) - you can post a link to a .pdf on rapidshare or megaupload or something and people can DL from there.

[iazybandit]

I made one that is 300dpi. Images look blurry but what do you expect when you're enlarging an image.

With the 300dpi version, I fixed the text in the bottom section. I retyped everything that was on there..well for the most part. Some of the text was from a different game so obviously I didnt include that.

[megashock5]

Okay, never used these sites before - just signed up with Megaupload, see if this works...

LOVE IT. Thank you! I'm going to go ahead and print this out, and pop it in that Target DVD case.

[tomfoolery]

mega upload worked just fine...that is a great cover thanks a ton! by the way, biggest pdf file i've ever seen haha, 56.6 megs.

T. Foolery

[iazybandit]

WTH? Stupid work computer is still downloading. Damn slow ass connection.

[lilboo]

So how do you print this? I just downloaded it.. and.. it's HUGE LOL

Do I just hit.. print?
Or do I have to change anything? ::confused::

I never printed a game cover before, so pardon my n00bness ^_^

www.thecoverproject.net

Is basically a spinoff from all the cover projects here at CAG.

[megashock5]

Yeah, the file is huge - sorry about that, it's an Illustrator file kicked out to PDF and I tried to keep the bitmap pieces as hi res as I could find them.

[lilboo]

So how do I print this? LOL

[iazybandit]

Since I'm leaving, this megaupload hasnt finished downloading. IF someone hasnt resized the image, I'll do it tomorrow when I come in.

Mind you, you'll probably need a legal sized paper (8.5x14). Normal paper is just a bit small due to the margins when printing. If you dont care that its a little smaller and cut off, then print on normal sized paper (8.5x11)

Finally got it to finish printing but the bottom back section (under the images) wont show up in JPEG format.

[iazybandit]

So how do I print this? LOL
Just go to print preview or print settings for the image and FIT TO PAGE or something like that.

[megashock5]

sorry I'm not much help on the printing - I guess it depends on what you're printing from. I'll be printing from Illustrator and I'll print it as wide as it can go on an 8.5x11 sheet of photo paper since that's as big as my printer does.

Most apps should let you spec a size in the print dialog.

Also, you can go to www.neato.com and download their template for a dvd sleeve as a guide.

[ratzombie]

Wow, thanks everyone.

But now I don't know if I want to just make a hilarious handmade cover, or print a more "professional" one.

[botticus]

Nicely done, megashock. Printed it out, looks pretty good. A couple blurry photos, but nothing I'm going to complain about, or notice from afar. I'll see if the 8.5x11 printout works well enough in my demo case.

[daroga]

Wow, thanks everyone.

But now I don't know if I want to just make a hilarious handmade cover, or print a more "professional" one.If it's any help, my "custom" case is being replaced ASAP. ;)

EDIT: Cover works perfect! Thanks!

[munch]

Does anyone have an extra white case from Target? I would really appreciate it.

[ckny]

Stopped by Target tonight, picked up a cover case (cost me .01 haha)

[botticus]

Excellent!

That looks fucking great botticus!

Which scan did you use?

And hopefully I can still find some white DVD cases, I need two... one for myself and a friend.

[asgaga]

just printed it out and placed it in the target thing. Looks very good :)
only advice would be to change printer settings to best quality, makes it look way better.

[botticus]

[Kendal]

I want nude women doing the Wii sports, someone get on that cover please. :D

[regisphilbi0]

That cover looks amazing. I have to get to Target to grab a white dvd case. Or hopefully I can order some from Nitneod, two other guys on my floor are getting Wiis and we can split the cost

[magikman]

Thanks megashock!

[screwkick]

Awesome work Megashock. Thanks.

[SpazX]

What's the best paper to print this stuff on? I'm an idiot, thanks.

[botticus]

What's the best paper to print this stuff on? I'm an idiot, thanks.I just printed mine on standard printer paper. Obviously glossy paper will be more similar to normal covers, but when it's behind plastic in the case, I doubt you can really tell much of a difference.

[Sgt. Baker]

What's the best paper to print this stuff on? I'm an idiot, thanks.Standard printer paper is about 20lb. You want 24lb for cover slips. It's thicker and heavier. You can go for glossy, if you wanna spend the extra bit. Don't do photo paper! That's way too thick and heavy and won't look right for a game slip.







Dammit, I'm a paper nerd.

[Survivor Charlie]

You can also ask EB Games/Gamestop for an extra Wii case as most of them have TONS of extra cases used for floor displays. The EB I work at has hundreds.

[magikman]

Regular paper, Regular Ink. How many people are really going to look at it besides you? Mine turned out pretty cool. Now where's our manual? ;)

[wjhard63]

Thanks, guys - this is superb. I will be printing this off at work tomorrow on the color printer!

[Oops! I did it again.]

If you have a halfway decent printer, just print it on the back of the Activision DVD paper. I tried to but my printer sucks and it printed out super unevenly so that was ruined. Then I printed out on normal paper and it was OK but unfortunately, my scissor skills have never improved since first grade...so I made it look pretty bad, but it'll have to do. :lol:

Thats too funny, my scissor skills SUCK too. I may redo it tomorrow. If not, meh

[magikman]

Paper Cutter ftw!

[Rig]

Are you bad paper cutters left handed? I'm pretty poor with scissors too, but I use that as an excuse. ;)

Is there anybody in here that can get ahold of one of those cases for me? I haven't seen any locally, and EB won't give up any cases.

[iazybandit]

Do these white cases that EB have for display have the Wii logo inside or is it just blank white DVD cases?

Find a crackhead. Pay him/her $2 to walk in EB/Gamestop and take a case. I mean, it's JUST a case. They aren't stealing an actual game.

You got a white case.
They made $2

Win-Win situation :)

[megashock5]

Cool, glad it's working for everyone. I haven't even had a chance to print my own yet (went to Blue Man Group last night). I'll try a couple different types of paper tonight.

[Deefuzz]

Wow that is a great job on that cover...I've got it downloaded, now I just have to get access to a color printer and I am golden!

[Starky27]

They're Wii game cases.

[Tenchi-kun]

Very nice looking case! Printing it out now on the high-quality color laser printer at work. ;)

[iazybandit]

Updated my image of the cover.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b370/aimchino/wiisportsinsert_watermark.jpg
Borrowed the high res images from megashock. But I still stuck with my concept with the text. Removed the Mii character and added Ninty logo. Also fixed the text to make it more clearer as well as the red boxes in the IMPORTANT and WARNING. Just waiting for the gf to bring back the printed versions before i post it.

Not to mention, it will be PDF file (less than 1MB), 200 dpi and will have crop marks to let you know where to cut (you'll need to draw lines..in pencil so you can follow it)

[boyward]

iazybandit, I like your style, but ended up going with Megashock's since I'm impatient. ;) Thanks to all who made this possible. I used regular 20-pound paper on a regular printer, and it looks great inside the plastic sleeve.

[botticus]

Very cool. Once you upload it, I'll get that printed out at work and take a look.

[JosephD1014]

Can't wait... have this thread subscribed just so I know when you post it :) The guides for where to cut are much appreciated as well since guessing randomly hasn't worked well for me so far on these mock-ups :(

[ratzombie]

That looks awesome, iazybandit.

I'm probably just going to use yours, since I'm terrible at cutting. And the text in the back looks very professional. :D

Do you think you could give me the source file though? I kind of want to have my own little Mii on the cover, or on the spine.

Thanks. Those who plan on using mine, as I said it has crop marks. Just draw lines along the lines and thats where you need to cut.

No source file. Just the PDF of my work. Everything was done from scratch with the exception of images taken from megashocks since his was better quality. If you want to add your own Mii character, if you have Photoshop, it can easily be done. Just open the PDF in Photoshop at 200dpi.

Since the site doesnt accept PDF attachments, I'm going to have to upload to my site when I have a chance.

I could also host it at my site if you'd like?! Let me know!

[Cream]

So if I go to Target on Sunday to pick up a Wii, will I be able to find one of these demos with the white cases?

Just curious.

[iazybandit]

Depends on location. I went to three Targets in NYC and none of them had anything. Only one store actually had those price tags that said .01 on the endcap along with other accessories. The others didnt have any signs or mentioning of it.

HOpefully a friend can come through with some cases that were used as display at EB/GS.

Looks great!

Although, my printer keeps cutting off the back side even though there is plenty of white left. It mashes the margin on the front side to fit, but not the back side. Any ideas?

[simplygriff]

Printing now... Thanks a lot iazybandit!

ckendal, printing to legal size paper would be the easiest solution.

Edit: It just finished... man that's smokin hot. Thanks again!

Legal sized paper (8.5x14) is the best way to print. As I mentioned above 8.5x11 is a bit too small because of the margins when you print.

Also, make sure you dont SCALE TO FIT or the image will be enlarged to fit the paper itself. The image is the actual size. All you have to do is just draw lines according to the crop marks and cut.

[Jared4781]

mine didn't print out so well ... maybe I'll try again on another printer

[iazybandit]

mine didn't print out so well ... maybe I'll try again on another printer
As in size or quality? Forgot to mention that mine was printed on a high end printer. The ones found in offices. If you're using a home printer, it might not come out as great unless you have an expensive printer. So your print outs might vary in quality.

Great job man. I've saved the image until I can track down a white case. Why didn't I buy that demo disk at Target. Grrrr.

[iazybandit]

That looks awesome, iazybandit. I'm gonna have to print one out once I've acquired another Wii case.
You welcome

[Synbios459]

How do I print it? Do I need to use some uber printer, and what all do I need?

[Purple Flames]

That's awesome. I'll print it as soon as I can find a printer.

Thanks iazybandit!

[Kendro]

This project is a blessing and essential considering it is impossible to get the sticker off the Wii Sports case without ripping the thing.

Thanks to IazyBandit and cKendal.

I'll have to pick up some extra Wii cases during my shift at work tonight.

[Jared4781]

it did not come out right as far as size. I have a decent printer (HP Photosmart) however the size was all wrong, I also can't cut straight lines to save my life ... anyone care to print up one for me on a work printer lol

[iazybandit]

This project is a blessing and essential considering it is impossible to get the sticker off the Wii Sports case without ripping the thing.
Just take a blow dryer, aim it at the sticker for less than a minute. The sticky residue will be soft enough for you to peel off the sticker without ruining the artwork

[Jared4781]

anyway to fit this onto an 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper. I bought some glossy 32lb paper and it's perfect, quality is great .. I checked all over for 8.5 X 14 glossy paper and it doesn't exist in Richmond, VA lol

[Bazz]

Awesome thanks printing now. I don't know why companies have to use really garbage package when it's a pack in. My sissor skills came out kind of bad.

It can fit on the 8.5x11 (scale to fit?) but the image will be smaller.

Awesome thanks printing now. I don't know why companies have to use really garbage package when it's a pack in. My sissor skills came out kind of bad.
Its not that hard. Just draw a line according to the crop marks. Take a ruler and a knife (xacto knife or box cutter) and cut. Then again, I'm a graphic designer/artist so I'm good with my hands.

thanks iazybandit. just took the image to kinkos to have it printed. came out great.

when I scale to fit it makes the image way small and it doesn't cover the entire DVD case, can anyone help? I would pay for someone to print this out and mail it to me .. sigh .. I wish I was a graphic designer, even using the xacto knife my lines were way hacked and uneven.

Go to your local Kinkos or Staples and have it professionally printed and cut for like 3 bucks.

Ran out of ink in the middle of print, looks like I'll have to get it done professionally too

I think I'm just going to print it out at the library. I have a decent printer, but its been out of ink for like a year. Sad I know, but I can never force myself to spend the $30.00 on it.

Hopefully I can still find some Target Wii cases, although I might try asking the guys at my local Gamestop, they're pretty cool about stuff like that.

took this to Kinkos and had it printed and guess what!? the thing is still too small! they resized it after I asked them not too. I'm getting frustrated with this ... I'll ask again, I will pay someone to print this out for me the correct size and way. thanks.

I have added iazy's and ckendal's links to my FAQ. (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116450)

Not sure about people who need cases but you can go to edgewise-media.com; they have both standard and slim white dvd cases for $.30 each. However you just have to deal with shipping. But depending on the order number it can be pretty cheap. Also if you live near LA, Anaheim, or NY they have stores you can visit. You may also get a student discount in store if you ask.

Thanks for the cases guys.

The correct dimensions should be 3240 x 2175 @ 300dpi.

Can I get them to print it at Office Depot, and for how much?

And I asked my friends at Blockbuster if they had any empty white cases and gave me one that was still shrinkwrapped, nice!

Has anyone recently bought the Activision preview DVD from Target? My local store just got in some new stock so I quickly snatched one up. But the case isn't an actual Wii case. It is a white case but there's no Wii logo imprint. It also feels flimsier and it's somewhat translucent, too. How disappointing...

[dyreschlock]

does the nintendo website sell any Wii replacement DVD cases yet? I know they sell DS replacement cases.. you might want to check there for an actual extra Wii certified case.

That Target csae is crap, and wouldn't even close properly for me after having Wii Sports in it for about 2 days.

Nintendo got it to me in about 2 days with standard shipping. Very much worth it. :)

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I finally got around to printing one of these out. Looks really nice. Thanks!
