Star Wars clock
« on: September 17, 2010, 11:12:52 PM »
Inspired by this thread on BYOAC forum http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=66321.0 I made a Star Wars clock for my son:




The base is the Star Wars Atari poster. I removed the vector graphics from Darth Vader's body because this was to be a SW clock, not specifically for the game.
The font of the numbers is called Aurabesh and is a "real" SW font. I added some black edge around them to make them stand out better.

I also had to paint the hands white because they were black originally and that made them very hard to see.

All in all, pretty pleased, will look great on my son's room. The clock cost me a whopping €4.95  ;D

Thanks guys. Just wanted to add that I used a program called Pixelmator to do the graphics work.

The "subtitle" of Pixelmator is "Image editing for the rest of us", indicating that if you're not a pro used to work with tools like Photo Shop, you are at the right place with Pixelmator.

And how true it is. It's by far the easiest, most comfortable and powerful graphics editing tool I've used so far. It's also very well making use of Snow Leopard's power.....

For the Mac users, you can't live without it: http://www.pixelmator.com/
For non-Mac users: buy a Mac and get Pixelmator and see the difference  ;D

Anybody wants to host this file ? Cleaning up my HD (yes, I managed to almost fill up 1 TB....) and found this file, maybe someone else wants to make a SW clock....
