Tell me... Step by Step how to make a custom Marquee?

Frostillicus:
And if you want some good, honest critiques just post it here.   The regs here are very nice about it - pointing out good parts and bad, but never really harsh.

 

NatasNJ:
Thanks for the heads up and info.  I appreciate it.  
Well I am going to start designing my marquee this week.  Hopefully will have something to show by the end of the weekend.

Ok here you go:

1) Bust out your old box of crayons.
2) Draw things until it looks good.
3) Tape it to the top of your arcade.

That's pretty much the process.  You really don't need to teach yourself new graphics programs and worry about file formats.  

Of course, we computer geeks are not the most artistically inclined, and we like the look of professionally printed bright colors, so most of us do things the hard way as the others have described.

I think you'll find that using Illustrator is easier for this kind of graphic design than Photoshop -- though many may disagree with me.

Have fun!

If you use things like screenshots from actual games, you might end up liking the pixellated effect you get from the low-res character images.  Especially if they're on top of a background which is high resolution.
