Hey Guys,

I'm just looking for a bit of feedback on this. After purchasing some KOF move strip art I started to realize that it looked really silly given I'm always playing different games. I was trying to think of how I could utilize the space better and saw something on one of the candy cab facebook user groups that gave me an idea. What if, instead of providing static, game specific information that always needs to be swap to be applicable, you make a utilitarian museum-type information panel. As far as I'm concerned, candy cabinets are glorious and deserve an appreciative foreword of sorts- especially when that cabinet is a show piece in a residential environment where the people you share it with, no little to nothing about these machines. Further- I thought I could use the space to store helpful information for navigating what is a customized cabinet some tricky things to memorize. I think you'll see what I mean. And finally, it gave me a chance to utilize that cool Vewlix C side art in another application. I'm really just hopeful to get some feedback on the concept and/or the execution of this piece. I also have some technical questions as well...

  1. Are these colors going to work with a backlit cfl (I've replaced the original light with a 2ft, 3500 lumen)? I've found the original light underwhelming and this one still isn't great.
  2. I know only enough to be dangerous with regard to generating the artwork. Would anyone be able to look at the file and help with proofing and preparing for printing?
  3. Is the text going to be too small once it is printed? What about DPI settings? Paper Type? Is Fedex/Kinkos the place to go print this?
I grew up a couple blocks from a bowling alley in a small rural town that had a fairly nice arcade with a somewhat stagnant selection of cabs. One of the mainstays was 4-in-1 Neo Geo cab and inevitably bust a move always got some of my quarters. Hence the theme of the art- got lucky that they were Taito mascots.
Thanks for looking!
 
FedEx Kinkos made it easy. Print was $30. It looks much better in person. I’m thrilled with it.
