Overall, it's pretty nicely composed (and the thought of a collection like this makes my mouth water). Still, I have a few suggestions:
* For the back, I would move the screenshots higher up, and put some fake system requirements of some kind there (since I presume this is a PC game and not a console port?) and maybe some fake legal text.
* You might also want to put a bar or box on the front listing its format (PC DVD, Games for Windows, etc.).
* Also, I think that any modern Duke Nukem collection would be published by Gearbox/2K Games, so you'll probably want to add their logos as well.
* I would suggest lowering the contrast of the caution stripe on the back, since it makes the text hard to read. Maybe make the stripes more orangish, like the logo?
* Lastly, the glow around the image of Duke on the front bothers me a bit, partially since it overlaps the title logo. I would change the layer order so that the title logo is in front, and possibly tone down the strength of the glow.
Overall, though, it's a nice piece! You've done pretty well!
I thank you for your kind words. In actuality, everything you suggested occurred to me after I'd already finished it, but by that point, I was so burnt out from it, I just let it ride. LoL The HD versions of the game I mentioned on the box do exist, and they are indeed well worth it. Once again, I thank you for your kind words. :-)
@Clerk13 Yeah, I've seen some YouTube videos of the HD version of Duke 3D, but haven't gone and checked it out. I fully intend to eventually, though. :)
Be gentle. I know this cover isn't the greatest thing ever.
