I have a bit of an unusual paid job that I need doing:
I have a very long list of video game titles (major releases from 1990~ to present). Brief excerpt from the list:
Code: Select all
Persona 4 / Golden
Persona 5
Revelations: Persona
The Sims
The Sims 2
The Sims 3
The Sims 4
Kerbal Space Program
ESPN NFL 2K5
ESPN NFL Football
John Madden Football
John Madden Football '92
I need someone who can, for each game title:
- Google it.
- Find and copy the box/cover-art (or failing that, the title screen/splash screen) into their image editor.
- Jiggle (resize, crop, etc.) it, so it looks decent at 120x120 pixels. If it's impossible to get it 'square', then as long as it's 120-pixels height, the width can be smaller (e.g. 94 pixels-width by 120 pixels-height, or similar). If it's already 120x120 when you found it, then lucky you, you can just copy & paste it .
- Save as a PNG file, with the name (or, if necessary, a shortened version of the name) of the game as the filename.
- If you can't find the box-art/cover for a game, don't sweat it, and move-on to the next one in the list.
If you have no luck with Google, there's a website called 'http://www.vgboxart.com' which looks to have a lot of video game box-art.

I'm offering $100 per 500 titles.
Offer 1(no longer available)Offer 2(no longer available)Offer 3(no longer available)
I would like to spread this work out across three people, if possible, simply to get it done as quickly as possible. However, if there's a lack of interest, and only one person willing to do it, I'll happily let them (and pay them to) do them all.
***
How it works:
- If you're interested, PM me.
- I will send you one game title. Create a 120x120 PNG from its cover, to demonstrate that you can do this.
- You send it back to me.
- We both go "Yay~ ", and I pay you $25 to get started.
- I will send you a list of 600 game titles; the extra 100 titles are a 'buffer' of extras to use if you can't fine a cover for a title, so if you search for a game and there's no cover-art for it, grab one from the end of the list until you reach your total of 500 PNGs. If you go through all 600 and still haven't made 500 PNGs, that's my fault and not yours, and you still get paid in full .
When you're done, just bundle them-up into a ZIP and upload them to http://www.tinyurl.com, or a similar free website.
Payment is $25 up-front, the other $75 on-completion. Payment is through PayPal, only.
