Forums - Nintendo - Take a Pik June 5-7 & Wii U Box Arts

The Idea was to make a very clean box art with no banner taking up space.

I know these box arts are all fake... but is Timesplitters 4 still actually in development?!?

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

No! :(

instead Crytek put the for free radical guys to work on homefront 2 for 2014......



 

   

Damnit I was about to ask that.

I think I'll buy TS:FP.... although it's still £20!

 

As for the boxarts, not bad... though in terms of "clean" looking I don't have a problem with there being a console banner on them, in fact I think they help give a more consistant look for a game collection. It's the ESRB and other logos on it that make them look cluttered to me.

EDIT: actually i'm guessing you designed these and would like a critique, well ignoring said issue with logos here are my thoughts:

The pikmin advert: I assume it's meant as a general advert (something that might be altered a little to fit online ads or physical posters and such), I like it... simple and clean but effective. The only thing I don't like is the WiiU logo placed onto the console itself, I think it would have looked better in the top right or bottom left. (I'm guessing you shopped the console itself to make it look grey btw... as I don't think i've seen a grey/silver WiiU pic)

Skyfall: The art is good, I think the bond silhouette should be bigger though, and the text smaller (it definately is too close to the edges of the box for my liking)

TS4: Not really a big fan of that tbh (apart from the subject matter)

Pikmin 3: Generally good, but while going for clean designs might be your goal, having such a busy texture with so many characters on it doesn't work well on a plain white background. Also the green in the logo doesn't match your grass effect, which is a shame because that's a nice grass effect you made. (I'd advise altering the vibrancy of the pikmin logo to try and match your grass colour)

Aliens: Really nice... again I have the feeling there should be something other than a plain white background, but it still works for me.



The silver U and all the box arts look awesome :)
