Your thoughts about this restoration

I would want to know if this restoration matches the site criteria.
What should I improve?
What is ok?
What is unacceptable?

NOTE: I used the art from the european version to complete some parts that were missing because of the scan (see left side)

Hi Martwansito,

First of all, thank you for contributing and attempting a restore of a box. It is very much appreciated. Could you please upload the box in the Drop Files Zone (no compression, please save the file in the highest quality possible), preferrably the PSD file instead of the JPG. Then i'll have a close look in Photoshop with the original scan in the background to see if the quality matches our criteria.

Thanks very much in advance,

regards,
Sjaaks

Of course mate.
I've uploaded the JPG with no compression in the Drop-Files-Zone.
Also, you can find and download the PSD file here:

I tried to organize all the layers so it can be easily understandable. Just take a look and tell me what you think, please :)

Hi!

Thanks for providing me the files. So i've taken a closer look. It looks very promising, really nice! There are a couple of minor issues that need to be fixed before it's ready to publish. If you would take care of these, i would be much abliged!

Front

- The text in the Seal of Quality should be Helvetica Condensed Bold or Helvetica Narrow Bold, it's too thin now.

- In the lower right corner i can still see the old Nintendo Logo underneath the new one. Please clean away the old logo so it's not visible anymore.

- The same also goes for the "ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM" logo, please clean away the old logo underneath it.

- The illustration is okay, but i can see you blurred away the printing grid. You did it in a subtle fashion, so it's okay like this, but barely. Personally i prefer to not blur the printing grid on illustrations, because if you look closely on the original box, the printing grid is visible as well, so it's only natural for it to be there.

Back

- The Metal Gear logo/illustration on the side is not aligned properly, it should be aligned a bit upwards and to the left.


Thank you very much in advance!

Regards,
Sjaaks

Hey! Time passed fast, didn't have much time lately.
I tried to solve all the problems you found. I did my best with the grill problem, reinforcing it a little bit,
as you can see here:

Check it out by yourself...

Hi!

The front of the box is excellent now. The Metal Gear logo on the back was still not aligned correctly, but i took the liberty of fixing that myself. I'll publish your box today!

Thank you very much for contributing, you did an outstandig restore of the Metal Gear box and we can use all the help we can get!

Regards, on behalf of NintAndBox.net

I forgot about that :lol:

Thanks, I hope many people enjoy the result and use it to enhace their collections or doing creative stuff. I'll be here doing more things, contributing, helping and learning! I recently acquired a drawing tablet with screen and I think this will allow me to do faster and better restorations.
