[DVD Cover] Half-Life 2

[Lexcyn]

I know a lot of you are going to be downloading Half-Life 2 and Counter Strike via Steam, so I figured people would want to make a backup of their cache files. Anyways, here's something I made over the past couple of days.

Enjoy. :happy:

why are you not working for valve and/or vivindi!

those are amazing!

[SimplySchizo]

Excellent work. Though I admit I was hoping to come in and see the original cover/s. Great work though. I'm sure many will make use of these.

[hulibecker]

Very Very impressive work! Respect is due!

[FryzDog]

[zachman123]

Let's watch valve steal yours now :p

[w33zy]

Exelent!.. maybe g0nna use those :o

[FiREFLi]

As nice (and by nice I mean incredible!!!!11!11 ;)) as they both look in general, I just have a couple of complaints/comments:

1. Couldn't you have not used arial throughout? Doesn't do the rest of it justice to be honest.

2.The DVD spine looks amateur.

Apart from that I really love them both!! :D Amazing.

Thanks to zachman123 for image hosting!

saw this on HLFallout. Well done

Offtopic: Hurray, another canuck on the forums :D !!

Edit: a Suggestion, do you have the CS:S beta? The dialogs for loading - Round the edges like that. :yes:

[black.ops]

I be a canuck too! (And one from Vancouver be that)

Anyway thats really nice, but I'm more interested in cs:s than hl2 to tell the truth.. :p

Awesome work (Y) Thanks ! :)

This will come in handy for those who buy it via Steam.

[CoLdFuSi0n]

wow those are awsome thanks :D

[[a]]

Woah outstanding job :woot:

[kak]

wow those are awsome thanks :D

ditto. now all we need is a game to match! :)

Sorry guys, a change is in order. Taylor Sherman of VALVe commented on my DVD cases and said they were good; however, it's mis-representation of their company by including their trademark/logo. So, to be fair because I like VALVEe, I'll remove all trademarks/logo's from the case/label. I'll try to work in a neat design for the missing information though!

[Lexcyn]

New low quality versions are up, waiting for the high quality link. :)

[PKHelloNasty]

looks really nice! :)

[AminoSC]

This is THE game that will warrant a video card upgrade for me. I cannot WAIT!!!

You're kidding, right? Is he afraid you'll put him out of a job?

You're not selling it and trying to make a replica (or new design). Some people are just SILLY.

Edit- They should be more concerned with releasing the game anyways.

[PKHelloNasty]

i wish i was contacted by a cool company for making something infringing :)

ACID: its not that they think he will put them out of a job, but that people may think the cover was made by Valve. Which is a valid concern. People trademark logos for a reason, so when other people see the logo, they know who made it.. the company gets known this way. If anyone could use their logo.. it really wouldn't represent the company anymore would it?

[kak]

Its jibber jabber. Why don't they tell him to remove all symbols that would represent HL2 since that is their product. I mean, don't want them misrepresented in any shape or form.

I know what he is saying, but its just a waste of time really.

yep.. who remembers when the hl2 leak was being sold in some store in russia. that had a fake cover.
