<\/center><\/p>\nWell, after one day’s work, I’m able to export that from Illustrator CS. This will (hopefully, eventually) be printed out similar to how an arcade game control panel overlay is made and applied to the control panel of my x0xb0x<\/a>.<\/p>\n Provided I’m able to properly make the synth itself, I’d like to take what you see above and use it as a foundation for something really nice looking. Currently it is just the original CP, brought into Illustrator, broken out into layers for various parts, and the SAW \/ SQR waveform indicators replaced with waveforms that I just drew.<\/p>\n Currently everything, including the text, is vector, so it can all be moved \/ changed pretty easily. Tomorrow I’ll likely get going on the hardest part of the whole art portion of the job. That is, taking the TIFF file<\/a> for the panel seen here<\/a> and re-drawing it in a vector format. I also want to make the text in the TIFF consistent with the rest of the panel.<\/p>\n Then will come playing with the color of the whole thing. I think the keys should (obviously) be black \/ white. Everything around it… I don’t know. I’m thinking that (if I can) I may do the whole panel in black with white text. Then a nice red Steve Jackson-esque All-Seeing Eye could be placed in the blank space just to the left of the volume knob. Or… I don’t know. I’ll see what I find out when I talk to the print shop tomorrow.
