need help with theme
djflip:
ok....M.A.D. CAB guy here again....
M = Music
A = Arcade
D = DVD
soo.....keeping that in mind, I was thinking of the left side being music related (band logos, album cover art, etc...) the middle (front, under CP, middle of CP, etc) would be arcade related, since the cabinet is in a "arcade" shape already.....and the right would be movie related (movie posters, items, etc...)
Does anyone think this is a good idea? I'm really upset, cause I need a theme for the graphics, and I can't decide on anything original. I don't want to plaster a million little logos and characters everywhere, nor do I want to have the cabinet in 1 solid colour without any sort of graphics on it.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
The M.A.D. CAB

The real question is what would you like. Once you can answer that, you will have your answer. You are the one that has to live with whatever cabinet you build.

I know...but could you (and others) please post suggestions ....i'm going nuts trying to think of something.

Just a thought - for the marquee (and any other artwork I guess), maybe use your idea with a big musical note(s) gradually changing to some arcade type image (like a big Defender ship(s) or something from a game you like) then gradually changes to a movie reel... Instead of having a bunch of little imiages, just use bigger more "generic" images. If you are good at Photoshop, bring in 3 largew images (music/game/movie) and try getting them to blend together....
Just a thought. I like your idea of a theme though, making an all in 1 type cab.

Don't be upset. I know exactly how it feels. I am pretty ready to start ordering the parts and building my cabinet and the only thing that holds me back is that I don't have a name, theme and graphics for my cabinet. I was pretty annoyed with not having a good idea for these because I want everything to be planned before I start.
So I just decided to take it easy and wait until I come up with something I am happy with and meanwhile I am collecting theme ideas, playing around with names, browsing the artwork forums and various other art related sites fishing for the right theme. Something will pop up eventually.
