| Making an Accurate Control Panel drawing for artwork |
| (1/1) |

I was wondering what other people did to relate an accurate control panel layout to a picture so they could add a graphics overlay to their control panel. Here is the one I made measuring each button. When I did it I was doing everything to a forth scale to make it big enough to use, but I know my measurements are off by a bit, because of how it all came out. So i was also wondering how people measured their button positions and joystick positions and if there are any tricks to it. I would hate to use the drawing I have, design graphics only to have them not line up, that would just not be cool. http://www.gamersanon.com/arcade.jpg |

Microsoft visio works well for me to create the layout. Then I export to a JPG and bring into Photoshop for the artwork. |

My next question would be how did you get the measurements? Did you measure it button at a time? or is there another way that is more efficient? |

Check the artwork page (link on the frame to the left) and you can find visio templates, and other useful tools. |
