Title: What do you think of this CPO artwork?
Post by: lisowskikevin on February 01, 2015, 05:14:10 am: Hey guys,

I'm considering this control panel artwork from gameongrafix, what are your thoughts? Too busy?

I wish I coukd see what it looks like installed on an actual control panel.

Buttons and joysticks should POP on a control panel.

+1. I'd steer clear.

If you don't know yet, you should really try to find a theme to arc over the entire cabinet so that control panel, marquee, side art, t-molding, button and joystick colors, shape of the cabinetm etc. all match together seamlessly.

The hodge-podge, sample platter designs usually don't work too well.

That's one of the few times I've ever finished one of your posts shaking my head in agreement. :cheers:

I appreciate the input
