I know it is - that is great to see the submissions you made this morning - I have put it to use already and I think everyone will see immediately that is better - truth is I was surprised by the quite on the design list from that cover, because it was 'scatter-esque' at best.. The latest update, with your latest graphics can be found here: http://lo-portal.us/temp/na-dvd-case-04-11-14.png Tim, Jeff, et al - this is a blending of the white and green background, it gives the cover a nice depth I think - and then use of the real scatter motif for the front. I did leave the scatter-esque graphic for the background on the back, which I think really works well. Sorry for touching this again, but this is an improvement I think.
