Viking: I could be mistaken as I don't own the game, but isn't that a Broken Sword 3 screenshot in the 1st panel on the back?

Thanks for catching that . . . sometimes finding a [url=http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://news.softpedia.com/images/extra/GAMES/large/gabknightscr_005-large.jpg&imgrefurl=http://news.softpedia.com/news/Gabriel-Knight-3-Blood-Of-The-Sacred-Blood-Of-The-Damned-Cheats-PC-74263.shtml&usg=__EAj5-ouoKSTHSdLBnCJe6v0f3P8=&h=768&w=1024&sz=164&hl=en&start=19&itbs=1&tbnid=GLK69JrKbu5XYM:&tbnh=113&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgabriel%2Bknight%2B3%26start%3D18%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D18%26tbs%3Disch:1]group of screen shots[/url] can be a bad thing . . .=) . . . I appreciate your input, don't have the game so I used that image, the on screen text gave me pause but . . . I used it anyway . . . the most difficult thing about making covers for these games is finding a print quality cover image and print quality screen shots . . . =)
Fixed . . . Thiev, the link above is to a new image, thanks . . =)

Hi, I'm interested in copying my GOG downloads to disc and have a few questions about storage. Will the art covers work with the slimline DVD cases? Do I need a special paper, ie photographic or DVD inserts?

Well the covers will be too big for slimline cases, you'd have to edit the artwork and cut the middle section away. I guess that's kinda obvious if you take a look at the cases. :) About the paper, I just recently tried to print a cover for Duke Nukem 3D, used standard-issue copy paper and it looks just fine. Of course, it'd look more official if you had different kind of paper, but when we look at the printing quality, my printer isn't good enough to make it look like one anyway so it doesn't really matter. But I think it still looks awesome so I'll be using my regular gear. :P

I like Epson Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper ( Epson # SO41062 ) for best results, remember to print on the bright white side only (most packages allow either side). It is fairly priced for 100 sheets of matte photo paper.
See the bottom of this post for printing instructions using MS Paint.
MS Paint works extremely well but I thought some might want to print using MS Word. The attached images below are the instructions to print DVD covers with MS Word 2K and 2K3. MS Word 2007 will be the same steps just a different interface.

Thanks for the info. :)
Thiev, please relink the Earth Empire II Gold to this image. . . . sorry, I will try to stop multi tasking while multi tasking. . . =)

I was curious why we use a template that is 4.2 in x 6.5 in instead of the actual size of 7.15 in x 10.70 in ? I assume it was Red_153D's original size. Do you see any negatives concerning the creation of a template that is actual size? I may have misinterpreted the dimensions.

I tried the template link, wanted to confirm the size, but it is not a valid link now.

that is some amazing work you are doing here, people! i just printed out the covers for Jagged Alliance and Interstate 76 and it looks way cool! :)
I wanted to print JA: Deadly Games further on, but the link has gone obsolete and it doesn't work anymore. could some please repost it? :)
[edit]: oh and by the way, the photoshop template posted by GoliathSK also doesn't work. could someone please repost it? i would try to make my own covers and post them here.

Thiev : the link seems to be dead, I found the image and re-uploaded so you can use the link above to put it back in Red_153D's covers . . .=)

Red_153D wanted to manage his own covers, so they're no longer on my list... but I guess I can add this one temporarily, until he fixes it.
As for template, I've re-uploaded the old one with all fonts, layers, etc. I don't know if it's still valid however, given that there is new a 'trend' in covers. ;)

Maybe just leave it since it is available above . . .

Not sure if this is work in progress or sth, but You've got wrong ingame screens there.

Arteveld: Not sure if this is work in progress or sth, but You've got wrong ingame screens there.

Nope, supposed to be finished. I have found that many sites offering screen shots offer the wrong shots. I don't have the game and the quality of the shots on the game card is fairly poor so . . . I trust the game sites and community members to give me input. . I'll look for more and re upload . . . thanks for letting me know, I appreciate input as I like to get them right . . .=)
