Do-it-yourself Arcade clock
« on: July 16, 2013, 10:15:08 PM »
Step 1





Step 2





Finished





Costs: € 10 for the Ikea clock, € 5 for the HEMA photo print. Not bad.

Nice!
I really like that it's a Mr Do Theme and not Mario/PacMan/the usual suspects for the quadrillionth time.

I have the exact same clock, hmmmmmmmm.... ;D

+1 !!



I've got such a clock (with removeable inlay) here in my bureau...guess what, YES, it's a PacMan inside  ::)  :oops:

So give me better ideas!  :)


Now let's collect ideas for clock-inlays! :)

Etienne, that's of course what I already was thinking of ;)

I remembered I had already done the Journey-logo in Coreldraw a while ago. I have now rotated and sized it to my needs but unfortunately there's still the original logo in the background and I don't have the ability to remove it without traces :(

I see , the old word "Journey" is in the raster behind it.

Only option is to trace and redraw the rest, and then remove the background picture.

Looks like you have some corel work to do  ;D ;D

Here we go :)

I had to put some white stripes on the hour and minute hand, the black weren't almost visible with that dark background.
I alos made a version with the letters arranged with the white dots but this version looks better.
