If like me you adore great box art and the beautiful Japanese designs that adorn the Japanese versions of games then you will love my Website Of The Day .......

BOX=ART

BOX=ART have given the following wording for the Definition of Box art:

"The terms box art and cover art are one and the same and are used interchangeably throughout the BOX=ART site.

Box art’s must include a design or artwork that has been printed on a physical casing of some kind.

This means marketing artworks for download video games (with no physical release) will not be covered on this site."

The BOX=ART website is the go to corner of the web when you are looking for the definitive word on some of the greatest Box Art that Video Games has witnessed.

The Team at BOX=ART take the subject matter seriously and have broken Box Art down in the following ways across the site:
