Game Posters, does anyone want? (with concept screens)

asphinx · 2008-11-29, 21:48

Well, the first Poster-Pack is finally done, unfortunately it only took this long because I have had some issues with a cold that just wouldn't go away, it's still quite persistent but at least I feel well enough to get something done. But enough about my personal life I know you all just dying to get the link to the Posters anyway.

So without further ado here it is. Enjoy!

Finally done with the first Nostalgia Poster-Pack, I bring you Nintendo. They come in two flavours, Mint & Vintage. Enjoy 'em, you'll find the download link by following the usual link.

Please refrain from direct linking or hosting the Poster-Packs elsewhere, not for any other reason than that I am very keen on tracking statistics (Google Analytics) for the number of downloads of the Poster-Packs. Alternatively contact me and I'm sure we can reach a suitable agreement. Again, enjoy!

Lemme know if you need specific cover art for any of these.

You already have game posters?

I figured since there are no mentions of game posters/cover art at aeonproject.com, that there weren't any. That is why I asked if anyone would want some. I thought I would contribute to the XBMC/Aeon community as long as there are those that would want some.

No, I'm a games journalist. So if you need artwork for your covers I can probably come up with something.

asphinx · 2008-11-29, 23:53

Oh.. okay, well then we're on the same page. Well good to know. I might take you up that offer later on. But for now, it's probably back to designing various concept until something is finalized.

btw, what size and proportions (for Posters) do you use in Aeon? I tried extracting the .xpr and calculating (read guessing) and as best I can figure a good poster size is 675 x 1000 pixels, but I'm uncertain as this is not the size thetvdb.com suggests for it's posters.

this would be awesome, any progress on this?

crni · 2008-12-15, 19:51

I'd be interested in games posters without any logos on them. Also having size 680x1000 would make things compatible with current TVDB.com poster standard so posters would fit nicely in any existing view

gstreet --> Working as we speak on the first poster pack (70 % done), which will be feature the top selling games for xbox (reference).

Currently the size of the posters are set to 680x1000 as this feels like the best size (I too used thetvdb.com as a reference). The goal is to use only high quality/resolution artwork. But artwork for certain games are harder to find, which means it's going a little slower than I first anticipated.

crni --> When you say without logos? Are you referring to the Xbox-related artwork or everything NOT related to the games artwork?

...wait, that questions made little sense to me..

Let's try it this way instead...

Current Layer structure:
-- Xbox Cover Artwork + "Only On Xbox"
-- PAL or NTSC Symbol
-- PEGI or ESRB Ratings
-- Game specific studio logos, i.e. microsoft game studios, ubisoft and such
-- Game Artwork + Game Logotype

crni, please use the following layout to illustrate the desired style you would want the game posters in...

Basically your clean look poster from the first post would be ideal for me b/c I like posters as 'clean' as possible but I could live with everything BUT Xbox Cover Artwork + "Only On Xbox" as I'm playing games on my PC

crni -->I am currently looking into the possibility of making your request into a feature. I'm thinking game artwork +game logotype and game specific studio logos, but maybe a bit more discreeter than the ones on the Xbox Posters. But why would you use posters at all if your playing on your pc? folder thumbnails?
