Title: Control Panel Overlays - your feedback needed
Post by: chunkywizard on June 07, 2004, 06:08:43 pm

Hi there,

I am trying to design a control panel overlay for my cocktail cabinet (see my WWW link over to the left for my webpage  :D). Below I will post some of the designs. Please let me know which you like and don't like and what I can do to improve them. All have been designed in CorelDraw/ Photoshop from scratch.

Regards

Chunkywizard

Hi Witchboard,

thanks for the feedback, any areas to improve it? ie logo placement, colour scheme etc?

You may want to make your lines more in contrast with the background than blending it in.  What color joy, buttons and trackball are you going to have?

Thanks for the feedback. At the mo buttons and joysticks are black (because thats what I ordered before designing the CPO) and the trackball is white (I ordered from Ultimarc, white and red was the only option  :() I am really bad at colours so any feedback is appreciated, is blue too dark to go with these? By the way, the cab is black all over at the mo. It may, at some point, get some side art, but not in the near future  ;)

Cheers
