Third Game Cover Design Contest


September 18th 2011 will mark one year since the release of Black and White in 2010. To celebrate, we're hosting a design a third game cover contest, in which you guys get to design a cover for the third game.

If you want an example as to how a Pokemon game cover (White specifically) looks, click the link below:

[ Example of a Pokemon game cover! ]


Rules & Information

The name of the game on the cover is up to you, be creative & make it match the Pokemon on the cover
The Pokemon on the cover is also up to you!
800px x 800px max, but it can be as small as you like, just large enough that we can see the design - just PLEASE spoiler your images by adding in "[spoiler][/spoiler]" tags around your image
You have until the end of Monday American EST time to post your entry in this thread
You can find Pokemon images (Sugimori and Dream World) on Bulbapedia.
You can find the "Pokemon" font on an online font site. We can't give you the url to it, but if you search you should be able to find it...
You don't need to design a back cover
You don't need to include the side "Nintendo DS" thing if you don't know how to replicate it
You can use any font for the name of the third game
There will be emblems, but you'll see them later :)

...Good luck! We, Black and White Moderators and a secret judge will be judging your entries and we'll get back to ya'll soon on the winners.

If you have any questions, send me a private message.

(Disclaimer: Your design probably won't be used for the third game)

Heh, well I tried my best with this, and I think it looks great. The name was a hard choice though, I'm still not happy with it. I was stuck between Lackluster, Luster, Palidin and Forever (Just to suck up to Forever) version. xD;

It's been awhile since I posted on PC, but here's my entry:

Spent about 45 minutes in Photoshop & Jasc Paint Shop Pro. I'm crossing my fingers for a Zircon version, not a Grey/Gray one.

Urm I've seen two above awesome entries, kinda don't have a chance now xD And I wanted to do custom art, since I don't have to, might save time.

I remember this awesome art piece I saw, I'll be using that =D

Oh, darn it.

I was going to use Genesect too. :c
I guess I'll use something else, don't know what though.

EDIT: Even though Kyurem is going to obviously be the next cover, assuming they're following the tradition of all the games, I'll use another Pokémon.

Pulled out all the stops for this one. Took a couple of days, and here it is:

Front Cover
Spoiler:


Back Cover

Spoiler:


Right - before you ask, no there isn't a font for the 'Grey' text - I had to design and draw that myself (took an hour to do right). :)

It's based on the European box, hence the PEGI logos instead of the ERSB logos and the 'Assembled in Germany' bit. Just 'cos it's grey version doesn't mean it can't be colourful. ^^

For my entry, I decided to make a special limited edition of Black & White with a blurb stating that Pre-Unova Pokemon are now available!

I broke from the tradition of legendaries and decided to use the Unova starters on the cover. The background was designed myself using Paint.

Spoiler:


It contains elements of Grey (Kyurem), Black (Zekrom) and White (Reshiram).

I chose the Unova starters to showcase the Unova region to those who aren't familiar with legendaries.

This was fun. =D
Most fun I've had in awhile, actually. I'd do a cover for the back but I spent all my free time doing this instead of my homework lol

Spoiler:


Unova map, Hilda, Herbert, Tepig and 'Version' images are from Bulbapedia. The Pokémon logo is from Wikipedia. The Kyurem image on Bulbapedia and everywhere else I looked was like really small so I found one on DeviantArt, made by "NitroDS". The ESRB rating and the Nintendo logo were taken from their own respective websites.

So I've never done anything like this and I think its pretty good for a first try. I'm obviously not gonna win but it was really fun. Way to fill in my afternoon after school today.Its pretty obvious that Kyureum will be the star of the next game I used genesect just for the cool factor. Hope you guys like it.

Spoiler:


All the entries on here look really cool. Wonder who will win.
