1st Marquee (Be nice :)
« on: June 14, 2003, 11:27:42 pm »
Hey All,
This is my first attempt at a marquee (for my 3 year old cab).  Comments are very much welcomed.  I plan on sending to emdkay for printing.

Also, anyone gotta better pic of Mr. Do!?
Thanks,

not bad, not my style... but it's not bad, simple and good... but when it prints, i'd see how the background is... it might be too dark or too light... i'd make sure somehow that it won't look strange when you get it printed

I like the black and white theme... but maybe change the color of the font so it stands out more.

Good point spectre.  Any tips (maybe photoshop tricks) on how to test before I send out to print?
Thanks,

try printing a smaller version with the same color scheme on ur printer to get an idea... thats the best I can do... but you might want to try to the dodge tool on donkey kong... he seems a little dark compared to the others or out of place... I just picked up on that this morning...

I like the design -- I hate the font.

don't use your first attempt. Try to make about 10 marquees...that should exhaust your ideas and unleash all of your potential... one of those will end up being really good, and it'll all come together... then one will stand out like WOW i like THAT ONE!...

um dude... I think he did that on purpose...
it's called slang...
i'll assume one of two things now...
you are trying to joke him for it and that shows your maturity
or that you honestly thing he mis-spelt it, again showing how wonderfully bright you are...
LMFAO
