THIS MONTH'S TOPIC:

WII COVERS
Sometimes, custom covers are better than official ones. Sometimes, you need covers for WiiWare. We care about that.


RULES
Size must be exactly 1024px × 680px.
Can be any Wii, WiiWare or Virtual Console game.
Use the Wii Cover Template.
Can be saved in any filetype except jpg.
No transparency.
Multiple entries are allowed.


HOW THE JURY RATES
Same standard as all the previous contests. You can get a max of 20 points.

10 points: Eye-Catching Appeal
Simply, does it look good? Are we drawn to it? Are we interested in it?
5 points: Game "Distance"
Does it describe the game well or does it make a happy game look rated Mature?
5 points: Effort
Did you just google random pics and insert them or did you draw it completly on your own?

The calculated average of all ratings is your final score.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
After you finished your cover, upload it to imageshack and post the link here. Please do not use [img] tags since they will stretch the page extremly.

HOW TO APPLY FOR JUDGE
Come here.

!! JUDGES CAN ENTER A SUBMISSION, BUT THEY CAN'T RATE THEIR OWN !!

END OF PARTICIPATING: September 1st!
As always, you can arrange personal extensions if you are away during the contest.

Prizes
Shiny medal, I guess o.o You can also get you Wii Cover on wiitdb.com and make it downloadable for every Wii USB Loader User.

Let's-a-go!

Hints:
- Use some image editor with layer functions, like GIMP. Then you can jsut overlay your pic with the cover easily.
- If you really use M$ Paint, draw your cover image first with the original size (1024px × 680px) And then copy the cover template over it, but with black as the transparent color.
- (add your own ones here)

You can make your own game up, right? Or do we have to use already made games?

No made up ones, sorry. But if there's enough demand, I'll add this too. Though I would have to change the judging criteria.

Also, speaking of custom cover art, I'll probably make ones for my other favorite games too. But just to pass the time. :?
