I have bad color cooridination etc, and just kind of bad with designs in general. I have to decided on how to design my marquee, what I want on my side top and bottom panels, what I want on my CPO, and what color for TMolding.
Im thinking of naming it "Griffin", or "The Griffin", so that would be on the marquee, but no idea on what color or design.
As for the side panel I wanted to find a griffin to use, and the best one I could find was http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-illustration-9940504-griffon-with-sword-heraldic-design-element.php (http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-illustration-9940504-griffon-with-sword-heraldic-design-element.php) which I like fine aside from the price. But thats only going to take up the ceneter part of the top panels, what about the color andor design to place behind itto take up the rest of the area?
The bottom part of the cabinet I was just going to do one solid color, and was figuring on doing it in black.
The TMolding I was thinking about just doing it in black too, but I dont know.
The CPO is yet another question. While it would be nice to use the same griffin image, I dont think itll work unless I made it smaller. So Im not sure if I should just go with a solid color, or some sort of other design, or highlight around the bottoms and joysticks, etc.
Ive no idea, any help? What would you do color/design wise if you were to use that istock image as the main eye cather on the side panel?
Thanks.

If it was me I would do a google image search for heraldry/griffin heraldry/or something similar and see what sorts of griffin images and color combos appeal to you.

Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness Go for it!

:laugh2: that's hilarious, I was actually looking at that exact theme today! It would have some good possibilities. Like eagles said though, go for it!

Do the theme of your profile pic and sig -- Paul Robertson art. A Pirate Baby Cabana Battle, or Kings of Power 4 Billion Arcade cabinet? That would be sweet. ;)

Paul Robertson theme would be awesome, though his stuff is hard enough to find, even on his blogs, let alone high res stuff :(
Does anyone know of some good websites for images that relate to those old style chinese/japanese drawings?
I also remember seeing some websites with collective game images, and just a lot of general backgrouns and designs, but I cant find any of them anymore. Any help?
Thanks.
