I am printing a library of video game covers, and found the process to be very manual and time consuming. I was downloading each image manually and compiling into print templates using GIMP.
I have put together a free open-source tool for cover art generation (with the help of Claude to code). Sharing incase it helps anyone else. License is CC0 so feel free to fork and make your own thing with it. I'm open to feedback and ideas to improve it further.
(Cover art is not AI-generated, the tool produces custom box art covers)

Hi everyone again!
I am back here to report that I have now created a wiki for the subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/mod/customcovers/wiki/index). The goal of this wiki is to provide as many resources as possible to make creating custom covers as easy as possible. It will contain resources such as templates, box art sizes, cover scan websites, and more in the future!
Right now, it is in a very rough phase of construction. It doesn't look the prettiest and is no where near completion, but it is functional! I have done my best to compile lists of various websites with various resources. I have personally vetted each website and made sure they were each functional and reputable. The only page that has no info right now is Cover Sizes as I am still doing research into getting a definitive and accurate list for you all. I have found that there is a lot of conflicting information regarding cover sizes so I want to make sure I get for sure accurate sizes before I post anything there. It will come soon!
The pages currently accessible are
> Cover Sizes Updated as of 9/1 with cover sizes! (No content at the moment, but soon!)
I hope you all can find these resources useful! If you have any suggestions, feedback, or anything to say about the wiki, please feel free to let me know! I am the only one working on this wiki right now while also working a full time job so I have limited time. With that being said, any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks all for being patient with me while I make my transition into taking over this subreddit. Have a good day! :)

It always bothered me having three cases all called "final", so I threw together a combo using a mishmash of official arts and logos.

felt like the stock cover was too lacking and does not say much about the franchise, and the SE cover was a dumpster fire
A little does not go a long way, i prefer over stimulation in the big 2026

I got the ps4 game and digitally upgraded to the ps5 version but hated not having it physically so as Thanos would say "Fine, I'll do it myself".

Hi there.
I'm trying out making some slipcovers for a couple of my favorite movies, and I'd like to hear some feedback.
The idea is to have a big "flashy" image for the front cover, and then a framed "poster" on the back, with some credits.
Near the top, going across the entire cover, I've added five stripes of a color palette inspired by the movies, which I thought would be a fun touch, and hopefully look nice when sitting next to each other on the shelves, clearly showing the vibe of each movie.
Otherwise I've kept the spines rather simple only with the color palette stripes, the movie logo and then a smaller portrait near the bottom.
Looking at others designs however I've started to be unsure whether I should add some more branding, as I can see a lot of people do that, and I do find it quite appealing as well, but I'd love to hear some feedback.
I've added a picture of the design with the guide lines, as well as three images of all the spines next to each other to get an idea of how it could look.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the rights to any of the pictures, nor have I created them. This is intended entirely for personal use only.
