Title: my first control panel
Post by: mongeau16 on September 07, 2006, 03:02:39 am

here it is, my first conteol panel.  im proud of it, so i had to show someone.  right now its wired to an ipac, but as soon as i get my hacked dreamcast controller back it will be multi wired for both. The hardware i used was a cometition joystick, ultimate buttons (black),  yellow happs diagonal, diagonal player one.  i made the artwork in photoshop.  so there it is, my first control panel.

I like how you incorporated the characters into the background image. It adds just enough without being overwhelming. Nice job!

thanks. ya the corners are pretty sharp, but the edges are worse, im gonna get some really fine grit sandpaper and try to fix that.  I went with a really simple design for my first one, but ive got a few projects i wanna tackle now.  neo-geo style control panel. pacman control panel, and maybe a japanese capcom style control panel.  does anyone know where to find a layout template for neo geo?
