I have this mame image running down one side of my cabinet but i'm trying to figure out how i can get the image inverted so that i can run it down the same way on the other side.See right now ifd i try to invert it in photoshop it makes it look unreadablwe. And i askesd kinkos if they could somehow make the sticky side on the other suide of the canvas but they only have 1 type of vinyl sticky canvas. So experts anywaty to make this work?it seems like it should be possible but i'm stuck?

What do you mean the sticky stuff would be on the wrong side?! Just rotate the thing 180 degrees when you apply it to the other side of the cabinet..... or keep it the same on the second side.

I surely don't follow what your problem is. Are you sure you HAVE a problem?

You have to just rotate it 180 like mentioned above.  If you flip horizontal, you end up with text that requires you to read the equivelant of right to left which isn't right for the english language.

So in order to maintain the left to right the M will be at the bottom of the cab on the left site and at the top of the cab on the right side.  No way around it.

Otherwise just get two of the same image printed up and you're all set.  Not sure what any other issue would be.

Also, there is a high-res vector version of the mame logo at the vector library - highly recommended to use something like that for something as large as sideart.

VECTOR IMAGES MAN!

If you're not quite sure about the size of your projects, definitively go for vector based images! They don't distort or loose definition when you strech them! Use corel draw for them, macromedia flash mx or freehand 10!

Those are the best progs and are like easy to use! :)

well perhaps corel or freehand, but I wouldn't recommend using flash MX for arcade artwork - it's hardly the best interface for graphics.
