Case Wrap Final Version

Hi there, sorry for the delay in my blog as I was busy making the designs for my assignment. Now after 6 weeks of work I can finally present to you all my first finished version of the case wrap.

As you can see since my last update I've made many changes to my case wrap, most noticeably the back cover is no longer empty. What I've added is some text which gives a little intro to what the game is about as well as pointing out some fine features of the game. The text has an "inner glow" effect which I think works very well with the rest of the case wrap, especially that it matches the front cover. Another change I've done to the back cover is that I've added some images to it including the company logo I've created using the "Adobe Illustrator" while working on my DVD inlay. I've placed these images in this layout and added the mentioned features as most games I've seen had similar layout and similar icons, hence making my case wrap look more authentic and professional.

Little pointer, the company logo I've created is actually a recreation of an already existing logo which belongs to the "Shiro Washi" Kendo Club I'm currently attending. I'm aware that things like logos are copyright protected and so I want to state here that I had obtained a permission from my club to use it in this project.

Only other significant feature I've added is the game logo at the front cover which this time is 100% original since I've made it from scratch using the same software as the previously mentioned logo. The logo represents a Samurai banner with the game title inside in both English and Japanese. I've chosen this design as it links closely to the theme of the game while the title in 2 languages is present since many games released in Japan have this feature and so having this in my design would make my game look even more real.

At this stage, personally I'm very happy with what I've produced as all the pieces fit together nicely, presenting a Samurai-themed game for a PS2 console in a realistic and professional manner. If I had to do another similar assignment, I would create a cover for a game but for a different console such as "Xbox 360" since it's more modern compared to PS2 and so it would allow me a more realistic approach. Also I would spend more time on organising the structure of the cover and less time on finding the images as I have to admit that I was very picky and slow with it. 

UPDATE: I added levels to enhance the colours present a bit.
