KAZ Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Ok, here's the thing. I've run out of creativity/images to use to create a certain emulator cd. I've got the following really nicely designed CDs... Atari emulators Nintendo Super Nintendo Sega Genesis Nintendo 64 Playstation On each of these CDs I've got a really nice picture of the console on the front, with a cool screen shot on the inside. I've even got specifications on the inside of the label booklet. On the back, I usually have a nice list of the "best" games for that emulator CD. Ok, here's the issue. I'm being kinda obsessive, but here it goes. I'm going to make a "favorite emulators/roms" CD, that will have the my favorite emulators/roms from each of the disks. The individual CDs will serve as sort of a rom library of sorts, but playing roms like that is tedious, since I have to scroll through countless rows of games. But I'm having trouble figuring out a theme/decoration scheme to go on the CD. I'm looking for suggestions, and possibly useful images. An example might be a nice shot of several systems together... Like someone's room that has an Atari, snes, nes, and Genesis hooked in. I have logos for each of the consoles, but I'm lacking artistic vision to make the cd nice to look at. My mame cd, for instance, I found some really great images of three pacman cabinets...and I stuck those on the front of the cd...in sort of arcade-esque way. I have MAME on the front of the cd, with a "pacman" font used. That's kinda what I'm talking about, can anyone help think of neat design ideas? The making of the cd will be the easy part...I just find my favorite emulators/roms from my single CD compilations, and burn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZ Posted December 22, 2002 Author Share Posted December 22, 2002 Yes, this is the type of picture I'm talking about. It is perfect. The size is too big, however, but it is still the type that I'm seeking. It would cause too much distortion if I shrank the image to fit on my cd front booklet. So far my cd has 4 logos on the cover... Atari 2600, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Genesis. With the words: Favorite Emulators Favorite Roms On the other side of the booklet, on the inside where the cd is... There will be three screenshots of Super Mario 1,2,3 And three screenshots of Mega Man 1,2,3 On the back will be text of some key emulators and roms. The picture you posted would be perfect for the inside of the front booklet... If I could somehow split that image into two equal parts, it would fit into the whole inside. Does anyone know of a way you can split an image, cut it in half? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky817 Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 you could always use cut/paste.... just make it 2 diffrent files that's what i would do if i wanted to cut it into 2 diffrent pictures, just find out what the size of it is, and then just chop chop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
