Smash TV artworks (Freehand format) ready to download

[aioros]

Hi everybody,

My name is Daniel and I'm a spanish arcade fan. I love everything related with the arcade artwork design and recently I've recreated the Smash TV artworks (you can follow the entire process here).

In order to vectorize them, these were the source files I've used:

Code: [Select]

Marquee --->Arcadeartlibrary

Side Arts and bezel---> Flyer from arcarc.xmission.com

25'' CPO---> A photograph taken by Mojave James and shared on Flickr

19'' CPO---> Once finished the 25'' version it was really easy to adapt to the 19'' cabinet

Instructions and identity card---> Photographs taken by Vongoosewink, Arcade Museum Forum

They can be used as they are right now to build a new cabinet, for example, but if you want to make them 100% accurate you may need to do a measument check and color correction to match the original one. Since I don't own this cabinet, I'm not able to do it 

They are available to download from Vectorlib (Thanks Zorg ), Arcade Art library and Arcade Forever Forum.

Enjoy them!!

Regards

Thank you! Excellent work!

edit: I don't suppose you could upload those in .ai format?

From what I just read, FreehandMX Ver. 11 files can be opened in Adobe Illustrator, but converting them to a more common file type would be a great idea for those of us using Inkscape, etc.

Yeah, I tried in CS2 but no luck opening the .FH11 files... but I am not particuarly experienced with importing things into Illustrator, might be a case of user error.

Macromedia Freehand MX (ver.11) files are not supported by Illustrator CS2, you need to convert them to Freehand 9 version .  Anyway, I donīt recomend it. I had some bad experiences in the past about handling files converted into many different formats (missing gradient sections, uneditable elements, moved shapes, weird colors, etc).
Take a look at the video labelled as 2. Migrating Existing FreeHand Content on this webpage and you will understand what I mean.

I know that having this files in Freehand format is a little bit annoying, sorry  , but I've tried to migrate to Illustrator a lot of times without any success. As Freehand is really easy to use, I feel really confortable working with it (I'm very lazy, I know ).  When I want to edit the final file to add some effects I just drag and drop the entire object into Photoshop and there it is, ready to the next step  .

Another option would be uploading 300dpi images. I can post you the links, if you prefer

Edit:

I've just found this funny video: Freehand vs Illustrator.
