Hey guys! I'm a big fan of Amnesia and out of appreciation for such a great game I thought I would design the box art for it. Let me know what you think!
Looks great, like someone said, i woudl have kept the original amnesia font and i would have added a small tint of colour, it woudl just help it a little.
I like how it looks, well done! Though going to agree the most on two things others have said
+ Leave the Grunt out. You get a better sense of dread when you see the monsters for the very first time in the game, so no reason to ruin that ;D
+Needs a little more color. I do like the idea of part of it being dark though, maybe you could do a gradient thing where it's slightly colored near the top of the spiral staircase but the color fades off the farther down the box it goes? That way it looks like a 'dark descent'
How about blurring the grunt so you definitely see something watching you on the box but you can't actually tell what it is? Also yeah, needs the real logo, and perhaps the rose on the original pretend cover art released by the developers since the rose is a really big symbol throughout the game.
-no agrippa
-no monsters
-use amnesia's title text/font
-give a color tint
-single player
-larger frictional games logo on front (cut back on outer glow too)
Also, instead of an ESRB rating (since Amnesia has none), how about one of those disclaimers like you see at the beginnings of Silent Hill games that goes all "Some parts of this game may be considered violent or cruel."
