Is this not enough, too much or just right?I did it in photoshop (ie. super mondo file size). i just have a smaller jpeg for posting

this is a revamp of a template I found. sorry i can't remember who it belonged to.

Will everything be labeled like it is in the pics?

jargin · « **Reply #2 on:** May 26, 2008, 11:44:12 pm »

probably just the the player player credit/start and program controls.

I like it. I think the labels might look a bit better if they were all integrated into their own "area" (like the place where "PLAYER 1" has a spot to go, but I realize that might be a pain). What does it look like without the grid? Maybe stars there instead..

Looks way better than I'll ever be able to do though!

It would look better without the labels and I think the first one should have a bigger explosion on it.

Disgrntld · « **Reply #5 on:** May 27, 2008, 12:09:14 am »

A bigger explosion would definitely be cooler.

i'll jimmy one up for comments

I need some labels for the wifey. but i trimmed most of the others

The blue-vector one is way cooler! I think the panel is just a bit too cramped though. Resting on buttons while spinning is no fun I guess. You can remove 2 mouse buttons? Why are they so far from the trackball? I like a trackball with buttons that both can be operated one-handed for navigating and two handed for the millipedes. And the "menu" takes a lot of space. Maybe remove most of it and replace it with shift keys. Or is your wife incapable of using a shift-key?

I don't like yours near as much as the one it's based on.

The original is a lot easier to look at. Your explosion and rough lettering looks messy to me.

I think cleaner is better.

jargin · « **Reply #10 on:** May 27, 2008, 01:41:10 pm »

so far two don't like it, and two wanted bigger explosion. i need a tie breaker

all comments appreciated

The bigger explosion looks better but the grid on it is distracting.

jargin · « **Reply #12 on:** May 28, 2008, 02:35:59 pm »

how's that

Disgrntld · « **Reply #13 on:** May 28, 2008, 03:11:32 pm »

I think that looks even better. Did you make the metal with emboss? If so, try lowering the amount so its not as washed out in the corners.

Edit: Is that explosion a vector? Or at least a really big raster image?

jargin · « **Reply #14 on:** May 29, 2008, 12:51:04 am »

its a homemade layered explosion in PS. I'm pulling the mouse mouse buttons out i think to open up the middle and unclutter, also adding some stars for some depth as suggested from another comment. photos to follow

ivwshane · « **Reply #15 on:** May 29, 2008, 01:36:28 am »

Its getting there! Can you make the center of the explosion brighter?

jargin · « **Reply #16 on:** June 27, 2008, 01:13:35 am »

trying something a little more subtle. the less is more thing.

comments?

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #17 on:** June 27, 2008, 10:51:44 am »

Less is better.

I like this FAR more than I did the other. (which I didn't like at all)

jargin · « **Reply #18 on:** June 28, 2008, 03:21:08 am »

how about this for a marquee?

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #19 on:** June 28, 2008, 11:58:16 am »

Looks really nice, as does this:

You made that? That's a nice table!

jargin · « **Reply #20 on:** June 28, 2008, 02:53:10 pm »

Thank you

that was last years project. I started like I pretty much started here. (without a clue). Quads forum is pretty much like here, lots of info, examples, advice. When they bust out of the poker game they are going to have some sweet entertainment.
I'm slowly trying to put together the man cave one project at a time.

Are you a poker fan? I was surprised to see my table.

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #21 on:** June 28, 2008, 04:26:38 pm »

Not at all. I hate poker.

Just like that table, especially the pics of it all coming together.

Cero21 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 12, 2008, 10:21:49 pm »

Anyone have any idea what font the labels are in??? I kinda like it and might change the font on my control panel.
