Author Topic: I suck at prepareing artwork, but have a great place local to me to get prints.. (Read 5452 times)

pharoah007 · « **on:** April 16, 2012, 07:36:32 pm »

anyone want to help me get my art all sized correct so I can have it printed. I just fought with photoshop for about 1.5 hours...not my thing

.

I want to do a street fighter theme, and I have some artwork, I just need it sized correct.

I think this project could turn out awesome if I take the time and get the artwork right...

here is the naked beast...

If anyone is willing to help me out, I can provide the artwork I would like to be sized..but I am also open to suggestions as "finishing" is not my best skill

I am only concerned with control panel and side art.. the bezel will be painted glass.

I always find creating artwork for a control panel is way WAY harder than creating the control panel from the artwork template.
If you go for button halos then you need exact button placement measurements - so my suggestion would be to go for artwork that doesn't interact with the joystick or buttons (make sense?)

If you want a print that just looks good and wont get cut off, I would just use a generic. http://www.gameongrafix.com/products/capcom-silver-generic-cpo2

I am not concerned with button placement.

my problem is I have some art I want on the CP and sides, however, am having trouble sizing it correctly so I can have it printed.

Dude you rock.

I am busy tonight and tomorrow but I will get you everything Friday.

What file format would you like the pics in?

Will .jpg suffer form loss (archiving) if I email it to you?
when you edit?
when I re save to take to printers?

Thanks again

Z.

Will do man.
I have been busy with work. I will try to get them off to you tomorrow along with a detailed drawing of the cab with measurements.

pharoah007 · « **Reply #8 on:** April 21, 2012, 12:39:44 pm »

would you like the measurements in Inches or CM/mm ?

pharoah007 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 21, 2012, 02:34:04 pm »

Ok... here we go..

This is what my "vision" is as of right now. This is posted for feedback. The 2 big issues right now are proportioning the side art to accommodate the big hole (will be a fan or speaker) or I could just fill it in and put fans/speaker elsewhere.

2nd issue is the CP, I "like" the art on the top half, however... the buttons are going to hide a lot of Ken...could some photoshop magic bring him over to the right where there are no buttons? It also looks like I intended for Ryu's fireball to be lined up with the joystick... this was not my intent.. I would actually like to SEE the fireball, lol

Everyone please chime in....

I want this thing to look AWESOME so any and all feedback is welcome.

P.S.

BASS!.. dont think this is the actual artwork I would be sending you, lol

I have everything in High res / semi high res

BASS! · « **Reply #14 on:** April 25, 2012, 05:29:58 pm »

Here it is without that logo on the front.

pharoah007 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 25, 2012, 06:14:16 pm »

LOVING IT!

What about moving the Capcom logo to the top, above the hole?

Either way, AWESOME start man!

Dude... you are a god among men! Looking AWESOME.

I was thinking.. due to the "hole" being kinda in Ryu's head... what about moving the whole pic (characters) down a bit then filling the top with the background?

Just a thought.

This is coming along WAY nice!
