    I don't think I included a 2D template in the download. Here is a basic one. It's the front, left spine and back. I only included the back for NES because they were easy to find in ultra good quality. You won't need the back part for Hacks and some homebrews, unless you want to make your own.NES 2D.psd

    I am horrible with tutorials, and I don't even consider myself a Photoshop expert at all. But generally I like to make a 2D template of a box first (usually just the front and left spine is all that's needed). Once the 2D template is complete, I import that into my 3D box template. Before I do anything I press record to record the action for later. Once the action starts recording, I cut, resize, skew the images where they need to go, creating any clipping masks if I need to. Once everything looks good to go, I stop recording the action and save my work from there. If there is another game box I want to make, I repeat the process by creating another 2D version with the same exact dimensions of the other 2D box I made. I know this must sound confusing (especially if english isnt your first language), but this stuff will just come to you. This is how I learned, and still learn. You just have to keep doing, and messing up, and doing again. But if you are willing to learn and DO like you said, you will get it. Youtube tutorials are a help, but just tinkering even when you dont know what the hell you are doing is the best method for learning. Good luck!

    Very good work! Don't worry, I am not very good at Photoshop either. I searched for images or scans for this to help with the spine image, but I couldnt find anything, only a front box image. However, I do remember having a spine image from the Nintendo Game Boy version. Also made a 2D version of this (no back image tho). Hope this helps. And you did great on yours, but if you can find a decent image on the Piko Interactive spine for this title let me know. Good luck!

    Well the current 3d boxes for Sega Master System are not bad at all. Spines are a pain in the ass if the system uses real cardboard boxes for the artwork (like old Atari games and NES). I love the systems that printed their art work on paper sleeves (like most Genesis, Master System and and PS1). Those scans are easier to come by. Right now I am working on Sony PS1. That system is very easy because almost every single games cover art has been scanned well (except the long boxes and their spines, but they are fairly easy to recreate). There is just a huge library of games for PS1 that it takes forever to go through. And your PSD templates would make it easy to makes spines. Looking through Master System spines, most use that ITC Modern font or just the games logo. For now enjoy your break. Lol. I know how much time and energy goes into making these.

    These are beautiful. I do box art work on many different systems, and I always wanted to do this one but it seems so daunting compared to other systems. There must have been a lot of cutting and resizing on the boxes with the grid lines. You did very well by not AI enhancing every box (I didnt notice any AI enhancing on any of these tbh). High quality scans of Sega Master System games are easy to come by, but just because you have high resolution images of certain boxes doesn't always mean high quality scans. I learned that the hard way doing some Atari 2600 boxes a while back. But you did great with the artwork here. Wish the spines were included to make 3D sets, but you can always go back later. Let me tell you, adding the PSD templates is a GREAT touch. Thank you so much for doing that. Not very often templates are included when sets like this are shared. Also, I love how you add alternate box versions of some games! I hope you do more boxes in the future and please consider doing them with spines. Typically the left spine of each box is only needed (for the 3D box arts). Anyway fantastic work here. I can tell you worked hard on this one, and it shows.

    that "double click & add" stuff was a stock image from a older template, it isnt used in this template. you have to add your own image manually and use "create clipping mask" option. I added the template for those people with basic photoshop experience.

    happy holidays! I have a Mattel Intellivision game that needs a logo. I don't know if the logo should include the flower or not, but if you make the logo WITH the flower could you also include just the plain logo so I can make box art? Thanks!
  8. WallyWonka
    I don't notice details like that lol. That TMNT logo is the official logo from the animated series from 2003. That box shot was upscaled a bit from a crappy scan to begin with, that's why it looks so different. I don't know where I got that TMNT logo, but I think I grabbed it from one of the regular 2003 versions of the game. It looks great to me, even with the differences you pointed out.

    very good! idk why that one part was giving me trouble. I think it is the weird stroke outline giving me grief. Anyway, here is a finished clear logo. I will upload it to the database. Thanks!

    I am remaking all the GBA Video logos and I am doing OK so far. The only one I am having trouble with is a TMNT game. I have the logo for the TMNT part, I just need help making a clear logo for the "Things Change" subtitle. this is the box logo (yes the Things Change part is supposed to be scuffed up like that) here is the TMNT part, I think all it needs is a white stroke around it. Thanks to anyone who can help!

    If there is one system platform that needed a decent 3D box image set, its GBA. There is only one GBA 3D box set I have ever seen. It was uploaded on Hyperspin over a decade ago. It was great for the time, but it used fake spines and the dimensions are small. Most of that set is the 3D art found in the games db for most of the GBA games. This collection includes 1,138 boxes, All North American releases, most euro exclusives, some Japan exclusives. All those crappy GBA Video boxes and all the great Famicom Mini boxes included. I didnt include most of the multi game packs because most of them had a single release. PSD templates are included. The american and euro boxes use the same template for GB and GBC. Feel free to upload some of these to the Games DB. Any questions, let me know. Enjoy!

    If there was one system platform that needed a decent 2D front and spine image set, its GBA. There are some decent GBA 2D front image collections out there, but none of them include spine images. I tried to be as accurate as possible and I think most of the FRONT covers are accurate, some spines images may be completely custom tho. (no, I dont have a list of the ones that might be completely custom, I should have kept track). And yes some front covers are upscaled, but not to the point where they look terrible. All North American games are included, along with most Euro exclusives. All the shitty GBA Video movie "games" are included, but it was hard to find decent source scans for most of them. I did not include most of the 2 or 3 game packs that had a single release. The 2 or 3 game packs I did include, are those that did NOT have a single release. Some Japanese exclusives that have been translated or use english menus have been included, but not many. I did include ALL Famicom Mini boxes that were only released in Japan, only because the boxes are cool. I did include PSD templates for the various box styles, for those that may want to create their own boxes that were not included here. Enjoy this much needed set. Any questions, let me know. I will upload a 3D Box version of this (that is the main reason I create these sets).

    cant find a proper logo for this GBA game: I know that's a instruction manual scan, but its the only decent scan I could find for this game. The box art I found on gamefaqs and in the database is incorrect: this is the real box art: the only logo I could find is some low res version of the fake box art version.
  14. WallyWonka
    there is no proper logo for this GBA game. Land Before Time Collection.

    The game number code on the USA pink boxes? that circle number code there? That's Helvetica LT Std Bold Condensed. I used Photoshop to create these. The longer number game codes used Arial Bold. I think I included Photoshop PSD templates in the upload for this pack.
