Tip #1. Get Adobe Photoshop - you really will be amazed at the simplicity and attractiveness of layers with nice fuzzy edged drop shadows. Your images will love you for it (wont they?). ;) --- End quote --- Okay that sounds "OK". You see the overlay as just so called "copy and paste" Because you probley do tons of image editing or something for living..you see,to lot of people. EVEN that is hard to do. As for 3 overlays lately,someone bought some hacked pad from me once and he asked me if i can do 3 decent looking overlay for the guy so I did(yes..Snake is very nice ;D). Now you cant expect me to do anything more then so called "copy and paste" for free !. I am not gonna screw the guy up by hand drawing something then buy a scanner then scan it so I could call it 100% my own while the actual print will look like $hit and you will probley be really happy because I didn't do the so called "COPY 'N' PASTE". :P After all you are the image police :(. Just because you can do anything doesnt mean everyone can. as for your shadow effect,LOOK ! carefully..venom do have a light fuzzy shadow thang goin on. PS: I SERIOUSLLY WISH THAT YOU WERE THE PRESIDENT Rasher !..I mean America could have been better then how it is today :-*. IF ONLY... |

Everyone keeps talking about how easy these CP layouts are with something like Photoshop. That's if you: A) Have access to Photoshop B) Have a clue how to use it. C) All you want is a Cut and Paste CP (which look nice) This forum has a wide variety of folks with different skill sets. Some can do wonders with wood, others with electronics, and others with art. Photoshop while being a great product isn't the most intuitive product in the world. It's not something the average person sits down in front of for the first time and knocks out an original masterpiece or even a "Cut and Paste" CP overlay. Not everyone has the time to learn it or the desire. People build these cabs for different reasons. For some folks the motivation is strictly to be able to play old arcade games on a realistic control panel. These are the cabs you see out there that are still completely wood no artwork, etc. It works for them and that should be fine with everyone. There is another group that wants there cab to look nice as well as perform well it's intended function. These folks may not have all of the skills to make their cab look perfect so they enlist folks here or their other friends in an attempt to fill that void in their skill set. That's what happened here. Snaaake was nice enough to take the time. How long he spent is irrelivent... the fact is he did it and that's what this forum is about. I'm sure all of us wished we were a master craftsman with a fully equiped woodworking shop and a master artist to whom using Photoshop was as simple as making toast. Oh and while I'm at it let's throw in electrical/mechanical genius (who also is a metal smith and had the resources to mold plastic) as it would be nice to be able to make my own Joysticks, trackballs and buttons so I could take credit for the entire cab. Oh yea and I should build a new monitor while I'm at it, I wouldn't want someone to accuse me of not having a completely origonal cab. ;D -Zinfari |

Now GIMP has a very steep learning curve, but it's free:) |

And yeah..while you are at it..DO make your own buttons,joysticks,trackball,even make your own wood(BUILD YOUR OWN MDF.COM :D) so its 100% your own build cabinet..I mean who needs Home Depot. Afterall,we do need build something 100% your own... :P |

You dont HAVE to draw the characters yourself, that was never the issue, but the fact is you wanted to put YOUR name on it. Why? So people couldn't call your work their own? But what? YOU want to put your name on OTHER peoples work! Eh? Okay, maybe not so much their work but the actual arrangement itself. Fine. Maybe I wasn't clear about my intentions in earlier posts; Some cut out CP designs do look very nice, but wanting to brand an arrangement of otherwise stock images seems a little vain to me. The more you work with an image, the more it makes it your own, and with just a little knowledge in various editing programs it becomes really easy to do - anybody can do it. Branding it then is okay, because it becomes an original - thats what I've been trying to get at. Your CP designs are good, but I see potential for greatness. You've already done most of the required work, found the graphics, cut them out, pasted them down. All thats needed is just one more infintesimal step. Then again I've been working with graphics for quite some time now that what seems obvious to me is oblivious to others. Carry on. (Another ironic thing is your MDF plug, seeing I used to work in a timber mill and actually made particle and fibre board, which I am going to use to build my cab!) Yeah, lets build our cabinets one atom at a time. Do you need a vicks to *cough* clear your throat? |
