3.) Tracing shapes into vector
I love Tron Bonne so I spent a lot of time on the cover and really like how it turned out. If you would like a copy it's for sale. :-)
4.) Retracing outlines.... (BS Excitebike - rare release)
3.) Adding in Blacks and Highlights....
On Yoshi's Story we needed to make the N64 case cohesive with the others by making it vertical and then darken the darks, pop the highlights and make it stand out.

Creating a Cover from Scratch
The tiny little graphic is what I started with. Instead of night I went with daytime thanks to a suggestion, and traced out the font.

Finally, Working with text....A lot of the widely available covers contain typos on the back. We were contacted about Megaman X, MegamanX2, and Megaman X3 - all with typos and sometimes the wrong text. It helps to be able to match text really well. Here is one change.

| The original cover has a orange hard to read title on Koudelka |

| We made Koudelka more pronounced by desaturating the color in the right hand figure. |
Thank you for looking.
