Finally got these printed, thanks GAF!
Awesome, I'm glad you liked them enough to print them! It really validates the time it takes to make the covers.

Thanks again! Glad I could validate your work.
Actually, I wanted to ask, remember that Blue Dragon cover you made for me awhile back? Could you just make one change? Leave the front cover as is, but make the back cover completely white. If you could do that, I would appreciate it!

At the very least now we know what the PS4 box art aspect ratio is and how it compares to PS3.

Ps4 Full Boxart Revealed
Quality isn't high enough to make a decent Non-minimal template I think, but now we know the actual height&width. At least I hope they are correct.
PS3 is 26,9x14,9 cm
Givent PS4 has the same width of 14,9cm, it would have a height of 15,9cm.
No guarantee, I just assume PS4 has the same width and I converted the 59,73x35,28cm size of the Killzone image.
Thoughts?

I made a quick template based on the Killzone cover. No guarantees the dimensions are perfect, but I can't imagine why they'd be too far off.

So, it looks like the template I made a while ago, based on placing the Killzone cover in it, was just under 5/32nds of an inch to big. Should I remake my few PS4 covers or would the 5/32nds not make much of a difference?
Hurzelein, love your TLOU cover, I got no Photoshop experience, would it be possible for you (if it's not too much of a hassle) to make a version of the cover with the PS3 logo in white on the spine? And if possible, a small NaughtyDog logo on the corner?
Much like this:
The contrast would make it look better on my shelf

Thanks, sure. Let me know if you want something changed!
Haven't printed it yet, hope it's not too dark. Had my laptop always on highest brightness and discovered that what looks good on it in highest setting is often much too dark after it is printed...
It's perfect, thank you!Thanks, sure. Let me know if you want something changed!

I'll post it here after I get it printed, as well as my other covers. Probably will only have time next week. Once again thanks for taking the time
So, my WWE2K14 game came with a print error (no game name on the spine). I decided to make a simple replacement cover based on an idea I saw someone on CAWS.ws had done. Took me a while to track down the original photo of the Shield together in high-res, but I found it eventually! Anyway, see below. I haven't printed it yet, fwiw.
Acoording to this guy the Ps4 boxes follow the Vita cases in being much smaller on the spine in comparison to the Ps3 boxes.

Took a look at Xbox One and PS4 boxes at GameStop.
The Xbox One case art might be the exact same size as a Blu-Ray case art (maybe that's already confirmed somewhere?). I compared it to a PS3 box and it looked basically the same sized except the spine on the Xbox One case was slightly thinner. The PS4 case is basically the same size as a PS3 case, but the case art takes up more space, being taller. So, for PS4 we're probably gonna need to come up with a new template, but for Xbox One we might be able to get away with modifying a standard Blu-Ray template.

I'm running out of space for all my games and Blu Rays and am seriously considering just buying up a shitload of standard CD jewel cases as they're smaller than DVD cases.
My GF doesn't like the idea, and to be honest I'm not too thrilled either, but I have 2 huge bookcases filled with Xbox, Xbox360, PS2, PS3, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, DS and 3DS games, and another one just for Blu Rays and the shelves are not only full, but I've had to stack stuff in the small space between the top of the cases and the bottom of the shelf above.
Spare cases are dirt cheap if you get them from the right place (I like to use these guys - www.rivieramultimedia.co.uk), but there's a severe lack of slim Blu Ray cases.
Anyone wanna talk me out of it?

I always loved this shot so I decided to try turning it into a cover. Would love to hear what everyone thinks so far.
Looks nice! I'd lose the Bungie logo on the sleeve though, it looks a little crowded!
I was actually thinking of doing it too, but I gave up because the lack of (good) spines on CD cases and the fact that I would stack them, it would be a pain in the ass to get to the game I want. + I would have to store manuals and stuff in another place.
I did something like this last year and bulk ordered a huge amount of cases. UPS dropped the shipment off in-front of my house without a sig and someone stole the package. I never ended up getting it back, it was divine intervention.
Then Zellers went under and I bought a PlayStation commercial video games display case for $150. Game storage problem solved.
I hope you get a clear answer like I did.

Edit: Actually, does anybody know the pixel dimensions of the front, back, and spine of a 3DS box art individually? The current template doesn't separate between them at all.
Edit 2: The front and back seem to be exactly the same as the dimensions for the original DS. The Spine is just thinner.

This is a test for an Xbox One minimal template. I'm not sure at all if this is the actual right size. So, if anyone in this thread is getting an Xbox One (I'm not) it'd be nice if you printed this out and tested it. Make sure to keep it at 300 pixels per inch when printing.
I pretty much just borrowed one of the cover arts from VGBoxArt and then cut it to make the minimal version. I had to personally resize it to 300ppi, then bring it back to its original pixel dimensions, which I'm not even sure were correct to begin with. From there I just estimated everything else.
I can't figure out a PS4 template yet because I don't know what it's dimensions are. And I can't rip one from VGBA because they use different resolutions than what we've been using in this thread. Somebody really needs to solve that mystery.
Since you got no love from anyone else I have to say that cover is bad ass.
...that came off wrong...it is flat out bad ass regardless of no love
Just did the measurements for the PS4 cover.
The entire cover is 27.3cm x 16cm. The spine is 1.3cm thick.
Now we just need to translate that into pixel dimensions.
...and imperial measurement.
That's pretty close to my PS4 template. I had it at 27.31cm x 16.14cm with a 1.45cm spine. (I'd just based the spine width off the PS3's)
I made the spine a bit thinner, so this one should work:
Here's the updated template.
Yeah, when I eyed it at GameStop the spine was definitely thinner than the PS3 spine.
Edit: Well if one of you guys actually has PS4 cases in your possession, couldn't you just print out a blank one and test it to see if it fits?
What do you think of these?

If anyone wants to give it a shot, here is a blank white PS4 cover with black borders to make it easier to tell if the spine is the right width.

Really digging this one. As for the blank template, I'll see if I can print it out later and stick it in one of my boxes.
As for the Xbox One cases, I compared an actual, non place holder box to a blu ray case and it looks like they are the same size except the Xbox One cases are squared.
Awesome! Thanks
EDIT: Decided to give this a shot myself. Duplicated the Luigi style for a companion Mario Bros, and updated the text on the luigi to match. Let me know what you think.
I just did it. The cover fits quite nicely. (I lost some quality on the first image during the upload process. I have no idea why.)
Exactly. Easy for a beginner like myself.
Zelda in particular has been incredibly easy since I stumbled upon History of Hyrule's Flickr. Literally thousands of high-res images of old Zelda art.

Do any of you have a template for custom covers of blu-ray films ? I'd like to request one.

I love custom covers but never slipped them into my PS3 games. That's going to change with my physical PS4 library from here on tho, so I'm looking forward to seeing what comes down the line!
