Do you really think that you could pick that up in a games store? With blurry logos, floating characters and a backdrop that doesn't even belong to this addition to the Halo Franchise, you won't get this very far. I recommend downloading Photoshop, going on YouTube and looking up tutorials, start with basic ones and then really get in-depth. Hell, you could even ask some high-ranking VGBoxArt members to help you.
#10,whats your problem all you do is criticize and say people are stupid i mean if you hate this box then just give me some advice im not going to improve unless you guys tell me what you want
#13, Are you blind, dyslexic or just plain stupid? I was trying to be nice! But of course, you don't freaking listen. If you can't take constructive criticism then you need get the fuck off this site.
#14, none of those videos are realated to making box art in photoshop there is a video on box art in paint and just making a box in photoshop but nothing about making boxart in photoshop
and thanks for your advice and i wasnt trying to be mean or anything
#16, that's because there is no, Press Button for HOF boxart. Jesus Christ kid, just get out, You clearly aren't intelligent enough to make anything worthwhile to the community.
#29, No, I was being rude and I apologize for that.
Honestly, though, the cover is horrible. All you have is a badly done front. Why is it bad? I'll tell you...
1. The Spartan in foreground has part of his top cut off for no apparent reason.
2. The Reach logo should be horizontally centered.
3. The ESRB logo is very blurry.
4. The Spartans in the background appear to be floating.
5. The background imagery is not inspiring; it lacks conveyance of message.
The best way to improve is to use the works in progress thread in the forums. Listen to what folks have to say. Find out what works and what doesn't. This information is key to success, even if you disagree with the technical or artistic inputs from others.

Please post in the WIP before you put up boxes. It helps you improve your boxes before cluttering the main site with them.

#8, There are plenty of tutorials on youtube.
You're just too much of an idiot to find them.

#8, You made this in Photoshop? Seriously?
Also, they do not look like they're walking. They look like they're floating on nothing. Oh, and hold shift when you're scaling images.
#10 put it in a harsh, but accurate way. There are plenty of tutorials out there.

#11, Harsh is but one of my many middle names.

#16, SCROLL DOWN!
There are plenty. There's one for GIMP which is very similar to Photoshop in its layout.
And still I ask, who is giving you advice?
