Smiler;

The windows one is really good, would be even better with the Driver font.

What program did you use, I'm only using Microsoft Paint.

On the second one (the PSP one) where did you get the pictuer of Tanner becasue it looks it would on PS3.

Are they really hard to make, because I thought mine was, the pictures on the back are from Driver Parallel Lines screenshots, I just took out TK and put in Tanner and the front pic is a picture of Tanner in front of an image I got from Google.

I would suggest using Paint.net which enables you to use layers,
and using layers enables you to cut out a hole in the top layer and paste an image in the bottom layer so you dont have to worry about the artwork covering the parts of the box art that you want on show (such as the psp logos that you see on that image)

and with paint.net when you rezise an image it doesn't badly affect the image quality of that pic which you are resizing!.


as for finding the artwork that I used, well I just searched google images for driver artwork, because I wanted something that would suit the Driver theme.

I didn't show any ingame shots on the boxart because DrIVer is still in development so I dont know what the game looks like yet...

But I think when we get a few ingame shots, the boxart would only need a minor adjustment to fit the part!


oh and, I came up with the name because Reflections are always trying to make the latest Driver titles as close to the original as possible, so calling it 'DrIVer: You are the wheelman' would kind of be a good hint that it would finally be what they have always been trying to make it!.

anyway, good luck!.

Yes, Microsoft crappy Paint, but I believe the correct term is Microsoft Paint: Crap Edition. :)

Here's a logo I made for the new Driver game, as you can see it's not great but I was bored and made it in about 2 minutes.

Anyway, what does everyone think?

Even if it was a quick 5 minuite one, its good to see that you used your imagination with using the same R for both the R in dRiver and the Recruit

Good Work!, Hope to see you add that to some custom Boxart!.

Coolio, now I want to make one; does anybody know if DRiver 4.com already has made some as they seem the most artistic(but i don't fancy trawling French pages needlessly!).

Yeah, it's cool. (whats it called BTW?)

But I'd rather it if they would stick with the Babylon5 one.

The font that I used is called Defused. While for "The Recruit" I used the Babylon5.

Here is another box art I made.

I tried to make the man look the same way as the car, as in, sort of outlined.

Image

Was lost on where to put the UBISOFT logo and the Reflections logo since they wouldn't look good covering the car at the bottom.

Anyway, what does everyone think?

Regardless of quality, I’d give it a 10/10 just because Neil McCauley from Heat is there, and the Reflections logo shouldn’t be on the cover since they lost that privilege a long time ago...

I decided to get inspiration from emmetmcl's pic and add a personal twist to it! (the girls on there because someone suggested in another topic that tanner should have a girl in the next Driver title :P)
