yet another "critique my control panel overlay" thread

Button labels look good.  It gives a sense of placement for that row of buttons and they no longer looking like they are floating.    Only thing I'd recommend trying is maybe making the shadow around them a little less soft, to tie in better to the other silhouettes. 

Overall very good job! :applaud:

thanks guys, that means alot.  I was so nervous about making my own artwork, i really didn't expect to turn out as well as it did.  It is drastically different than what i originally set out to make.  i'm working on tweaking the shadows right now, as well as brightening up the colors on michelangelo and Donatello


CoryBee:

Do you have a separate photoshop file that has the drill template?

severdhed:

No. I marked all of the control locations on the wooden panel before creating this graphic. I then placed the control images on the overlay in the same location where I have them marked so that I could arrange the turtles and other graphics so they would look ok in relation to the actual controls. That is why I didn't want to make button outlines our anything like that

CoryBee:

Okay, it isn't that hard to superimpose the slag coin layouts onto your design and use that as a template for your control panel. Always good to have something to make the buttons stand out, I got tired of making CPs where the buttons are just kind of floating in a sea of art.

Anyways, good work I like it.
