Looking for design assistance.
« on: August 24, 2008, 11:29:58 pm »
Updated: forgot to attach my pics...

Well, I'm finally trying to get my cab looking nice but am looking for feedback on how to decorate it.

Cab currently has 2 coats of primer.  Not sure if I'll want the base to be white or to be red yet.  Depends on how the logos will show up.

Inspired by this design, I want to do a UW Madison based cab.

The logos I will be using are: (all in EPS and/or AI formats)
Bucky Badger
Motion W
Band W (as seen on the mug but in red or I can recolor it to whatever)

Other possibilities are any of the logos on this page: http://www.uc.wisc.edu/logo/download-logo.html

Problem is, I suck at design.  I don't know how to use Photoshop, and can't really do any mock ups on my own.

Here's my initial thoughts
Bucky will be as big as possible and take up each side.  Facing front on both.
The top portion of the side might have the Motion W if it will fit in nicely.
The openings on the front: Top will be the coin door, bottom I think is where my Sub Woofer is going to go.  I think I'll cover that option with some sort of speaker mesh material and paint the Band W on there.
Not sure on the Marquee yet...

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a cool and do-able idea.

I'd probably go with a red base myself,   the badge logo on the subwoofer port would be neat as well.  Maybe a really simple "MAME" logo for the marquee done with a similar font to the "Motion W" and with U of W badge at either end?

Talk about pride in your alma mater!!!!  I do n't think i would do one based on where i went to College... not that i didn't have fun there, just don't feel THAT attached
