So, after making this box 3 times (Gimp kept crashing) I finally managed to get it done, and I must say, I am quite pleased with it. I guess I kinda got the inspiration from Backin5minutes' box. Credit to him.
Anyway, Tell me what you think. Comments and Favorites are appreciated :)
I like it. The front is very, very similar to Backin5minutes' box, but I think it's different enough to hold it's own. I like the tilted logo and the cut off of what looks to be Hengsha, and it all blends together really well. It looks like the separation is coming from the blade on Jensen's arm, and i think that's really creative.
The back is good, but I think it's lacking in comparison to the front. The description feels a bit weak, and doesn't really get me excited to play the game. I like the way you did the screenshots, and the artwork near the top looks good, but also feels a bit empty. I think the tagline could be positioned better to help fill it up a little.
Overall I like it, but the front is much better than the front.
Love the front, the inclinated scheme looks excellent, works outstandingly well.
The back, however (I think), is way too simple for a game like this, and I think that, even being harder to make, a more complex and detailed layout would suit it better, instead of having that classic layout you went with. Also, try putting the legal info and the requirements ona sngle text block (Move the ESRB to the right and make it a bit smaller), so it looks less text-heavy.
Overall, I don't like the back, as it could use work, but kudos for the front, that I find amazing.
I like the slanted layout beneath Adam, and how his blade separates himself from the city skyline. A much cleaner, more subtle way to blend the two images together. I feel Slimd is correct on the back though, it leaves a good deal to be desired.
UPDATE: Replaced the quote on the back with another part of the tagline, and I touched up the colors to make it feel more vibrant. Plus I added a C4D to the image on the back so it makes more of a "Boom".
I agree, lol. Like how the blade is in an angle with the title on top with the city skyline beneath it.
I know it's done before, but not in this way, I think?. The back need some small adjustments,
but it's really hard to get noticed with all those other great Deus Ex: HR boxes flowing around.

I have learned that it is impossible to make a bad Dues Ex box art unless you try to make it bad on purpose :)

I'm not too fond of the back. It's a really nice setup and I like the front, I just guess I think it's boring? It's still very well done!

That's wonderful, and so shiny...
Perfect job!

How you made the front is amazing. The way you separate the character and the city with the blade and the logo, that's pretty smart.

This junk will never make hof.

Should be close to a HoF though with 37 favs I guess.. but tbh I have no clue on how the hof works. Imho it should be in there.

@Higashi89 I didn't 'beg', I was making fun of what most people do by going "Please favorite my box, I want attention." HoF is just kinda cool for me.
