Title: Control Panel Advise
Post by: d00dness on July 30, 2007, 03:47:58 pm
Ok guys ...... need some creative advise ....... Soon I will be getting my control pannel and the theme of my cab is from the movie "Ghost Rider" ..... what I'd like to do is have a control pannel back drop of the bike and still keep the picture some what visiable ... I know that with the button cutouts , some of the bike will be cut out but maybe you guys can give me some advise or come up with a new look?  here is my layout....

My control pannel will be the same type of button configuration as Knievel has for his Neon Arcade - http://www.knievelkustoms.com/neonmame.htm (http://www.knievelkustoms.com/neonmame.htm)

The backdrop I'd like to use is this..... http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/ghostrider/site/media/images/wallpaper/2/2_1024x768.jpg (http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/ghostrider/site/media/images/wallpaper/2/2_1024x768.jpg)

Any ideas ???  Tks guys / gals...

Before you move ahead on this, find a bigger picture.  A much bigger one.  If you print that one out at CPO size, you'll find that it'll be badly pixellated.

I have a few similar Ghost Rider pics if you need ... one's 3357 x 2518. Another is 5833 x 3755. They don't have a black bakground, rather a brick building (not sure if that matters to you). They do have the motorcycle in flames like your picture, though.

PM me if you're interested so I can email to ya.
