First draft CP, critics welcome - Sketchup and Photoshop files inside

If you're not an artist, you certainly know the PS tools well!  I tried to do some of that stuff way back, but couldn't figure it out.  When you finish up, could you upload your PS image so that some of us could take a look at the tools you used?  Thanks!

NP here is the photoshop file as you see it

Im not too sure about overlapping the silver surround in some areas, but I might call it done here unless anyone has any suggestions?


Turn on the 'line art' layer to see the drilling template - this shows the positions of the controls and outline of the panel etc.

There are also a couple of unused layers in there

Its quite a large file, so I have RAR'd it to half its size, and its a huge image (a1 paper size 23.4" × 33.1")

Would love to see some improvements graphically if anyone is up for it!

Another version, tweaked up some aliasing issues on the inside of the bottom curve and added a familiar logo

I think the logo really works well here, feeling a lot more confident with the design now it has some actual design in it

Thanks Artifact!

Last image for this thread (I hope..)

I think this is now final and ready to be sent to the print shop tomorrow

Do you think the '1up' and '2up' logos are too much?





The Lumberjackass:

hey jim jim,

i like the layout and all the work so far. the only thing i personally would remove is someone else's name or logo on the cp.
im not saying this as a bad thing , in fact i think the logo is really nice and well done , i just couldnt put someone else's name on my cab.

one of the reasons why my cab doesnt have any logo's or written art , is because i see it as a distraction to the overall theme.
less is more in my view , and i'd go with something a little bit more graphical but without the lettering.

but, as you know, im just giving my 2 cents as to what i'd do. overall its completely your choice as to what you want on your cab.
but feedback is important and i personally dont like the 1up and 2 up text. i'd rather see the likes of a game character each side of the trackball.
