Edit: This contest is now over. See the winners in this post.

Fire up your graphic design programs and prepare to crawl Google for images because the Before & After Nintendo Switch Box Cover Contest is here ^^

The rules are simple :
  1. Find box art for a Switch game (must be a real box art cover).
  2. Use the resources below to re-create a better version of it in your own style.
  3. Combine them all in one image and clearly put an indicator showing "Before" and "After" (edit: or just put them individually in spoiler tags clearing indicating "before" and "after").
Of course, the image under "Before" should be the original box cover and the one under "After" should be the one you re-create. Once you're done, post your entry in this thread. That's all :3

Would we be allowed to use Photoshop? (Abode)
If we can't get GIMP?

This looks like a cool contest, I'd love to be able to join! :3

Of course. Any image editing program works. I just mentioned GIMP because it's a free alternative.

Took a few hours to edit (I have like no skills lol), doesn't look amazing but it was fun making.
Starting to wonder if my original plan of putting Marina on the Splatoon 2 cover would have been easier..

Can we draw out the cover instead of copy-pasting stuff?
