Re: FN Rd 3 Custom Covers

The template file works in layers. The first layer looks like this:



From here I add the photo that I am using and make sure that it fits flush against all edges of the box. The rectangle rectangle tool is used to erase any part of the picture that would be outside of box. This ensures that the edges are sharp.



Now I need to add a thin, soft white line on the left side of the box. This gives the appearance that the image is wrapping around the box. I did this by creating a new layer and making a very thin selection (about 1 pixel wide) with the rectangle tool down the entire side of the picture. I then feathered the selection by 2 pixels. I then used the Gradient Tool with the Radial Gradient selection. I made the very center of the gradient white and the edges of the gradient just slightly dimmer than that.



Next just need to add the NTSC logo and "Online Gamplay" wording.



Next need to add the little halo that will appear behind the EA Sports logo.



The last thing is to add the main EA Sports & Fight Night overlay.




And that brings us to:
