Title: Graphics!
Post by: Perrow on April 16, 2012, 09:41:09 AM
Ok, recent posts in the pictures thread suggests that I'm not the only one challenged in the graphics creation area. So in true diy-sharing-spirit I thought; "Why not share graphics for our stompboxes the same way we share schematics and layouts?". I bet there are lots of people here that would find this useful.

I'll be the first one to put my two cents where my mouth is, sharing my graphics for a 1590A LPB-1.

Sweet. I've been wanting to pop out some graphics for people to use, but I never knew how to approach it without looking like a showoff or something. I'll definitely add to a collection. Hopefully a couple others do as well... There are some seriously great styles people have developed around their pedals, and I know some of us have graphics we made but never used that could be shared. I have bits and pieces all over the place, lol.

I've never tried anything outside of paint markers, and am looking forward to my first few attempts at going beyond. Definitely need help in this area.

Nice one Perrow, I love the border. I bet this thread will be 1000 pages in a couple years...

I'll start a competition when we're getting close ;D

Order some water slides from ebay and go crazy, it's the most fun I've had in a long time, and the result looks stunning :)

The more I look at that LPB1 the more I'm astonished! I know it's "simple" but the idea of "connecting the word with the lables" is .....great, GENIUS!!

Though I cannot contribute here ... I will have a look at this thred just after the picture thred  :D  :D

thanks for sharing!

Wow, this will be amazing - excellent idea!
It would be awesome to have templates for each of the enclosures & drilling options from somewhere like Mammoth.
Especially for someone who is "graphic-design-impaired" like me  :icon_lol:
Although I can't contribute to this thread yet, I sure will when I can!

OK, here is the template I use when I am designing etched enclosures. I scanned a BB-sized enclosure. I then use black and white layers, along with beveling and blending, to simulate the etch in the enclosure. It works really well.  It takes a bit of explanation to use (and Photoshop 7+, GiMP might work).

To use the file, open it up with Photoshop. You'll see a layer set of Black (Recessed) layers, and White (Level) layers. Anything you want recessed must be black, and must be in the Black layer set or above.  Anything you want level (unetched) that knocks out the black must be white, and must be in the White layer set or below. To add the bevel effect to any new layer, right click an effected layer, Copy layer style, right click the target layer, Paste layer style.

When you are ready to print, you strip off the layer effects, hide the enclosure, make everything you want etched white and protected black, flip horizontal, and print... if I recall correctly.

Here is the link to the template [PSD]. (http://goo.gl/bQorH) Here is an image of what the template looks like:

Hi

as stated it's probaly too hard for me to contribute to this tread, but what about a help ??  :icon_mrgreen:  :icon_mrgreen:


I've always wanted to have a pedal to looks like a racing car..... the best I can come out with is this


(this is just a prinscreen of the drawing I've created it with MsPublisher, still learning Inkskape)

(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh174/arma61/RC.jpg)


Though I have a strong feeling it looks too "basic" sort of kid-ish  :icon_redface:  :icon_redface:


Is anybody there willing to help me to give it a "real look"


Thx mates!!

Hey everyone,

Posted this in the main thread, Artifus suggested i post it here:

I've never put knob dials on my graphics for pedals.  I was thinking last night "it might actually make it easier to remember settings if i did."

So, had a slow day at work today, you know how it is, decided to make a few knob dial graphics.  They are PNG so you can edit them as you wish.  Created in fireworks, I hope the file plays nice with your editor.

I might add some more later, but heres a few basic ones to start with.

!!! THIS IS A PREVIEW, DOWNLOAD PNG BELOW !!!

Thanks Jim.  Great job on the graphics!  What technique did you use to apply the graphics before the pour on?  In other words, did you print the images on plain paper, photo paper, wet slide, etc ? 
Title: Re: Graphics!
Post by: Mustachio on November 24, 2012, 01:12:54 AM
-Hey John thanks! I used this white sticker paper that claims to be water proof. I got 10 sheets off ebay about a year ago. I searched for this again not long ago for Gov_Lacky . Here's the link to what I been using.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Glossy-Inkjet-Photo-Blank-Create-Your-Sticker-Paper-8-5-X11-10-full-sheets-/120983069743?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2b27242f

Seems like not bad paper. This last time I figured Id try to spray the graphics with a shaker can of glossy clear coat from rustoleum before I added the Pour-on to see if it would help at all. It didnt seem to make much of a difference.

Depending on what your pouring over It tends to make what ever its covering a little darker/contrast. the same way wood grain and tones come out when you clear over them. So I usually try to think a little brighter when Designing the graphics.

I've also found that using sticker paper over a flat black surface and then using pour-on isnt great at least in my trials. I believe because it was flat the surface had a bit rougher of a surface and the sticker paper didnt sit down as tight as it should have and pour-on got under the paper and starts to turn it semi transparent and that will ruin detail in the graphics (especially anything white will turn grey) .

I haven't tried a glossy black paint yet But I think if everything else is right it should work.

I've had a few ideas I need to try. One of em is to do one coat of pour-on then apply water slide then a second flood coat of pour on. This way there will be space between the graphics and the surface and will give more of a real life drop shadow effect and maybe a small amount of caustics as the light shines through the waterslide. Also the idea is to maybe use both sticker paper and water slide and applying on different levels of the surface and the pour-on surface to give more depth .

Something like paint>sticker paper> pour-on> waterslide>pour-on

and using that method you can break up different elements of the graphics so they have seperated shadows etc. almost like screen printing where different elements and colors are applied over each other. 
Title: Re: Graphics!
Post by: Jdansti on November 24, 2012, 01:40:16 AM
Thanks Jim. The sticker paper is described as "photo sticker paper", so I guess that it's photo paper with a sticky back. I might have to try it. I used regular photo paper on my contest pedal and used a viscous superglue to attach it.  You've got to be very careful when using glue because it's easy to get a little smudge on the graphic. That wouldn't be a problem with the paper that you use.
Title: Re: Graphics!
Post by: pakrat on November 30, 2012, 01:38:27 AM
Great idea with the different pour on layers, that would look really 3-D. I just got the Aristocrat pour on but I haven't tried it yet. Finishing enclosures to look pro AND be durable is definitely an art. Besides etching, I haven't found a really solid way of doing color graphics. I've tried waterslides and they seem to stretch a bit, and photo paper is just too thick to hide the edges. Your Mutron looks fantastic Jim, and is the reason I bought the pour on  ;D Do you have any tips for a first timer?

John, you might try protecting you photo while handling and gluing, with frisket film. It's a very low tack plastic film used for masking on paper,  protects well and releases with ease. To further reduce the tack you could apply it first to another piece of paper before applying to your art. (And of course experiment with it on a non-critical piece of art just to be sure.) Available at art supply stores.

If you're lucky they might have it available as single 8x11 sheets so a very  small investment to check the feasability of the material for your needs.

http://dl.lib.brown.edu/pdfs/1143209523824858.pdf
Edition 1 - longer and well worth a read anyway. Sounds crazy/awesome now, imagine the reaction in 1914!

Hope those inspire some awesome new industrial ideas etc

Those drawings in that journal would be great for etching, I would think.
Those remind me of the poetry magazines that were around in the sixties/early seventies

Great fonts in Blast, been a while since I read those, thanks for posting. Dig the numbering graphics, think I'll rip those off too, thank you very much!

Funny how many things are still pertinent, despite his heavy-handed judging of entire nations. He always qualifies his stereotypes, at least.

I studied a little bit of Modernism, and its seems that the point was to tear everything down - whether other nations or your own. There's a big theme of existentialism and stream of thought, so he might be highlighting how blunt the thoughts of society around him are, not just what he feels. Very interesting stuff indeed :) But maybe a little OT...

This thread is great btw. Really nice to have such a huge variety of ideas to spark that next design

I really like the racing car idea, so I did this as a first draft.  Don't know if it's any better than Arma's graphic, but it's more shiny!

(http://i476.photobucket.com/albums/rr124/markeebee/arma.jpg)

I drew it in MS Word, if anyone's interested.

Hey Mark, I did it ... at the end!!!

Hey! Im posting graphics for Madbeans Krankasaurus and Fulltone OCD along with Beavisaudio Noisy Cricket Mark II. Im also posting modelled enclosures in Google Sketchup for Fulltone OCD and Noisy Cricket, so you can use them to make your drilling templates. Krankasaurus graphic is based on the drilling template in the project pdf.

http://speedy.sh/yktR5/CookieCruncher.pdf - thats the graphic design for Krankasaurus, I called it Cookie Cruncher
http://speedy.sh/BtPSx/Fulltone.pdf - Thats for Fulltone OCD, called Lip Driver. I found this cool graphic on google, but Im sure Im not supposed to use it for commercial use, so I will just keep it for myself :)

Tried an idea I've had for quite a while but never got around to it. Decided to try it on an old fuzz face with no graphics (been meaning to sand this down and start over) other than my crappy handwriting. Yes, that writing shines through the decal.

(http://i832.photobucket.com/albums/zz249/Perrow_MLP/Random/Decal.jpg)

Guessed it yet?

If you guessed temporary tattoo you're quite correct. Apply as per instructions (as if on skin) and be careful to avoid/work out the air bubbles. This one has a coat of clear on it. Other than the fact that I got an air bubble and damaged it a little with careless handling (don't rub the wet decal with tissue paper) it's just about perfect. Super thin decal so almost no edges and there's lots of cool patterns and figures to choose from.

Search ebay for temporary tattoos or visit your local toy shop. I think I'm gonna put one on each bottom plate from now on, just for fun, even if I do custom graphics on the top.

No, just tattoos, packs of about 8 to 10. There's some cool larger ones on ebay that'll almost fill the backplate of a 1590B 8)

Thread resurrection.

Did some spacescape art, street style. I'd like to eventually do this on enclosures. It's fairly easy and quick with a couple cans of spray paint, stencils, and magazine paper for texture. I can be more careful and exact in the coming weeks, but I think the test runs came out pretty cool looking given how quickly and cheaply these were done. I highly recommend looking this stuff up, it's pretty incredible what people can do with spray enamel and paper.

Awesome thread! Cool designs too  ;D

I've studied Inkscape for the sole purpose of making pedal designs like these, and here are my works so far:

N-Channel MOSFET Boost pedal, Adventure Time motif
(https://s1.postimg.org/ahyxlmqen/flipaweboost.png)

P-Channel MOSFET Boost pedal, Adventure Time motif (gender-bent character used, to call attention to the negative/positive ground thing)
(https://s1.postimg.org/po4zckgfj/cakeboost.png)

Dual EP-Pre pedal with independent/slaved switching for one side, Pikotaro motif (silly, I know)
(https://s1.postimg.org/os8hx46r3/ppap.png)

Speaker Sim and JFET Splitter pedal, Celestion Vintage 30 motif (I credited the designers for their circuits)
(https://s1.postimg.org/73lcj8kdr/Speaker_Sim_rev.png)

RunOffGroove.com Thor, with pots instead of switches for the Bottom and Bright controls, Marshall motif
(https://s1.postimg.org/5d2bhr2un/Thor.png)

Keeley Katana clone, John Mayer's "Continuum" album font style motif
(https://s1.postimg.org/a6hh8v9yn/Katana_Sticker.png)

MXR Distortion+/DOD 250/DOD YJM308 hybrid, modified MXR motif
(https://s1.postimg.org/s6qod925r/distplusclone.png)

MXR Phase 90 clone, modified MXR motif
(https://s1.postimg.org/sakhti7n3/phase90clone.png)

Paul Cochrane Timmy clone with reverse EQ controls, same font as original
(https://s1.postimg.org/8xy70z7e7/Timmyclone.png)

I made a lot more, but these are some of the (IMO) best I've done.
