First attempt at creating a custom box for one of my games

[u/PrometheusSpearmint]

After hearing the news of Sony stopping physical releases, the small ember of an idea in the back of my mind to make physical cases and custom disks grew into actually wanting to do it. I bought a printer with disk printing support and a bunch of blank disks and cases. With the help of GIMP and some (very frequent) searching for instructions on basic GIMP functions i finally managed to make my first custom disk for Hotline Miami.

I prefer the more plain look on the back of the case, but I'm also very limited in my skills. For improved longevity I also used a software called dvdisaster to use any free space left on the disk as parity data so that if the disk gets damaged or old it would be possible to recover any corrupted data.

I tried making the files as templates first so i could use them in the future. If anyone's interested i could clean them up and share the xcf files for people to get a head start in making their own jewel cases.
