Title: Anyone have a vector joystick and button?
Post by: Banditt on June 12, 2008, 08:53:21 pm

I have spent some time searching and can't seem to come up with a picture of a joystick and a picture of a button in vector format. I'd like to include them on my instruction card.

Thanks

edit: I added a dust washer.....

Hi.

I'm afraid there's a little problem. I used some Fill- and Transparency-Effects in Corel Draw. Each format I export to has some errors with that. PDF looks ok, but the dust washer has a moiree...I could avoid that by using a solid black or dark grey fill instead of the gradient fill.....Or I upload a hi-res JPG version that should be good enough for your instruction card. Will you print it on your own or will you go to a print shop?

I played around a little with that AI-version. It cannot handle the transparency so I made one object out of the two and gave it a different shape and gradient filling......now it looks as if something is reflected by the ball.....let me know what version you prefer :)

Of course...if you can use the CorelDraw file...I can upload that, too

Can you upload a large size jpg of the joystick with the extra lighting you did with a white and black background?
I'm not actually printing it out - it's for the front end, when you highlight a game it will show the controls
