Well, I started of just doing this for fun, because I couldn't wait for GT4 (mutual feeling, I think). I am currently studying a design course in London and I wanted to apply what I learnt to one of my passions, the Gran Tursimo videogames.

You have great design abilities, Zee; I'm sure you'll go far in your class. 👍 Good luck with it.

I love the new design, as well, like always. And I have some criticisms, like always. I don't like most of the pics you used on the back. You need a cool rally pic, a cool LMP900 type car pic, you need either the 70 Chevelle SS, or the Buick muscle car and a cool truck or van pic. I think you used too many new pics that are now available, and it doesn't really show the diverse type of cars that GT4 will have in it. And still no room on the back for the car manufactures names. There seems to be a lot of space for you to add somehting to the back.

Still, I love the new design. Good job! 👍

Come on man, it's just a compliment...



I'll buy it anytime, even if there's an ugly car on the cover.

I know, just messing with you, I'm going to have to get back into computer artwork, I'm not particularly good but I enjoy it.

Here's the image I use for the GT4 logo:

It is a vector image for Paint Shop Pro 8. If you have PSP, you can do a lot of different fades and effects:

The Vector version is attached as a zip file below. Everyone feel free to use it.

 

[Dave A]

Thanks mate, I'll probably use it on my next one.

 

[ZEE]

[oscarfulz]

i like them all, the ones on this page are beautys

 

[jkrobby]

Here's a new one:

 

[Solid Lifters]

Yes, much better car pics! 👍

 

[Dirkiyo]

not bad at all, but could you create a back-cover that fits well with this front-cover?

 

[Lamboracer]

Hey has anyone seen this cover for GT4? Bcuz if you havent now you have.

 

[P2C]

Good job guys... you all are really skilled to perform your covers...

But to have a good idea of what may be the real GT4 cover, we have to understand how they thought their previous covers...

Original GT was technical with the tire sculpture.. GT2 focused on the engine if I remember well.... it was the beginning ...

But, now Prologue is really clean ... you know just a sober touch that makes it really professional ... linked to a single color... white... pure.. you see.. ( marketing, only marketing ok..)

So IMO, the GT4 will surely respect this new orientation... new GT is not a game that must reveal itselft from the box.. but something you buy .. something you discover... with surely another color to identify it ... you see... more secret and respect behind that !!!! you see some kind of shadow... maybe an empty track... you feel that something is gonna happen when you'll insert the precious DVD.... ( myyyy Prrreeeeeeciouuuuuusssssssss)

But the cover may also be technicaly based ... so it is just a thought !!!!

We should create a new game... to guess the cover ..

Have a nice day GTP readers...

 

[Mr P510]

I'm thinking the cover should have a Matrix type techno theme like the characters that streem down the screen......something like that. With the HDD and online support something like that would suit.

 

[DMotion]

The new thing about GT4 is the Online mode..

so keep that in mind.. i'm sure the real cover will remind you you can "race" with 6 people online

 

[Small_Fryz]

this will be interesting to see what they come up with

 

[DQuaN]

What track is that on the back cover of the origional?

 

[DMotion]

Hey again,
what do you think of this one

 

[Dave A]

That is ****ing nice, did you make it?. Zee, it seems now you have worthy competition.

 

[DMotion]

jups, it's a 3D render.. i did some fine turning in Photoshop tho.. also the cover texture btw

but i could not found any hi-res sport's car pics on google
so this is it for now.. i prefer another car pic tho if someone have a nice url with better car pics let me know

gr Max.

 

[ZEE]

hmmmm, I used that bugatti pic before in one of my designs, but you done some nice 3d work, very well composed, m8.

Realy
it's a cool pic tho.. but i wish you could see a little more of the tyre's

Edit: ah now i see, yes.. it's more close up.. nice done

 

[ZEE]

I wanted to mimic the design of the GT2 Cover, but not completly copy it, so here it is:

 

[Solid Lifters]

Are you in love with that color, ZEE? Is it cyan, or sea foam green? Try someting new. I'm liking the idea of yellow.

 

[ZEE]

I'm liking the idea of yellow

Sorry, but I dont think yellow would work very well with this franchise, I had tried it before and belived it to be too bright and actually quite disgusting to look at.

Yeah, I guess you're right. The only true colors you get to work with for the cover is black, white, red and blue. I don't think there was a different color for the cover, other than those.

 

[zonekill]

My first attempt for a front cover.

 

[Dave A]

Very good, especially for your first attempt.
