REQ: Designing rest of my CP

[MameMe]

I have no graphic talent, but I have managed to whip together a CPO that I like in .PSD format.  The only things missing that I want are arrows indicating the joysticks directions (up,down,left,right), button names such as "Player 1", "Power", "Coin 1", etc...

If anyone can do this for a reasonable amount of $$$ please PM me and I can provide more details.

  Thank you

Just post the file somewhere, and I'll do it for you.

No cost as long as we keep it simple.

Thanks Mahuti

I will try to make this as detailed as possible for you to understand.  I am NOT picky so I am just going to try to explain in as much detail as I can.  I'm sure anything would be great!  

Here goes...

Keep in mind that this wood control panel is my sample piece.  So if you don't place the buttons in the exact same location it is okay as I can redo the wood no problem to match what you make.

Files you will need from http://mame.eyetechcomputersolutions.com/mahuti/
1) Sample file for reference "sample.psd"
2) My image that you can change "30x16_final.psd" 105MB

My control panel is not square, you can see what the basic shape is here...

...It is 33" wide & the deepest is 16" deep down the middle(Image name says 30" but that's incorrect).  The top two corners are currently cut straight but I will eventually make them rounded.  Just telling you because the border will need to be rounded later below.  Some of the character layers may need to be moved in, especially the 2 street fighter characters near the ends because of the 1" border I want. And the Dragon's Lair guy at the bottom.  All images should be within the border.  

The joystick in the middle is the 4-way with no buttons.  That would require the 4 arrows as shown in the sample image.

The 2 end joysticks are 8-ways for fighting with 6 buttons each.  Notice the middle button is slightly offset "UP" a little.  That's just my own different setup.  These joysticks would require the 8 arrows as shown in the sample image.  I don't think I want anything to label the buttons unless you think I should.

Near the straight edge(eventually rounded) at the top I need the following labels made for buttons(whatever you think is the best wording is fine, these are just mine.  If you know what the standard terms are please use those)
* Player 1  top-left next to coin 1
* Coin 1    top-left next to player 1
* Player 2  top-right next to coin 2
* Coin 2    top-right next to player 2
* Exit      top-right-middle a few inches away from pause
* Pause     top-left-middle a few inches away from exit

I think the entire thing would look nice with a border similar to the sample image.

I hope this isn't too much to chew and if I've scared   you I understand.  Your time is very appreaciated by me and my nephews.  I am willing to pay you for your time & effort.  Than you very much Mahuti.

Mahuti I tried to PM you to see how the progress was going, and then I noticed your account is suspended.

Are you still around?

I think he got you.  The text where it says supended is customizable by the user. (note mine)

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. This week has been heck. I've been up for days finishing up rediculous client projects

Like this one. That was a pretty cool project until the client wanted the animated figure. Whatever. Some people like it. I don't, but whatever. That was an easy one, some of the other ones have been crazy.

Anywayyyy. I digress. I see the files, I'll get them, and get them back to you this weekend.

[mahuti]

Can you put the "mahuti" folder back up so I can get the files?

[MameMe]

Okay go ahead Mahuti.  I removed the link but its back up now. Thanks

[mahuti]

Downloading it now. you should be able to remove it within the hour.

Any luck Mahuti?  I'm curious to see what it looks like so far.

[mahuti]

I'll up what I have on Sunday. I had a really crazy week last week so I didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked, but I did get some time in.

[MameMe]

Any update Mahuti?  I ask because I can't cut out my CP until the overlay has been designed.

Thanks.

I don't like the figure either.  He seems out of place.  However, even with the figure, I think that is a great looking website.

Is anyone interested in making some $$$?  I'm dying over here for a control panel overlay
