The artwork is perhaps the part I stressed about the most. \u00a0I wanted to make sure that thing looked sharp. \u00a0I lucked out when I found a comic book cover that wrapped around the Ninja Turtles and Foot Clan. \u00a0Splitting it right down the middle gave an\u00a0awesome\u00a0left and right side to the\u00a0cabinet\u00a0so it looked like each side was\u00a0coming\u00a0around to front.<\/p>\n

The marquee I built in\u00a0Photoshop\u00a0with a font I found, and some additional \u00a0turtle artwork all super imposed together. \u00a0The control\u00a0panel\u00a0was also put together in\u00a0Photoshop, using an overlay so I would know exactly where the joysticks would all be so I could position everything correctly. \u00a0This also worked out\u00a0extremely\u00a0well. \u00a0Lastly making sure everything printed out well was critical. \u00a0I used the guys at:\u00a0http:\/\/www.gameongrafix.com\/<\/a>\u00a0and they were amazing to work with. \u00a0They went above and beyond for the printing and we exchanged several emails to make sure things worked out well. \u00a0They had a printing error for one of the sides, but shipped it to me in case I wanted to use it for\u00a0something\u00a0else. \u00a0They also have a ton of artwork ready to go if you don’t want to do custom artwork like I did.<\/p>\n
