Rolling Thunder - Atari Ireland Marquee

[Dazza]

Thought as much.

I have now finished rescaling the document so the artboard is the exactly 567mm x 165mm. I have taken measurements from bits in my marquee and measured them against the corresponding vector and they are pretty damn close (fractions of mms).

The only thing left now is I am unhappy with my colours. I matched all my colours, with painful scrutiny, to the scanned image. However, when I compare those colours to my original marquee they are quite washed out. The red is definitely a deeper red than the scan would indicate.

The problem is I can't take the colours from my marquee as the light behind it has discoloured it quite substantially. I could probably get the red and yellow from the far edges as they were hidden behind metal and do not seem to have been affected. Hmmmm, what to do.......?!?! Damn my perfectionism!

I was going to upload this to http://www.localarcade.com.

Zorg....are you an admin on there? If you are, should I put it in "unclean" or straight to "arcade"? Other than the colours I would say it's pretty spot on.

Put it in unclean for now till the colours are fixed I say 

I'll have a look at it too

I would say put it to arcade/marquee. don't worry about colors, even if you make it accurate, you never know how people will print them until you have tried to print a color sample. that's will the task of everyone

Tried to register again and it says my username and EMail address have already been registered (so it must be in the pipeline). I can only assume the site admin manually check the registration process before issuing an activation code...

I presume that is the case. (This is how it works here by the way  ) . The administrator has to validate the new member, and then after you'll have a mail with a link for activation.

Amazing Work Dazza ! And welcome to the big family of 'Vectors Men'

Thanks Bruno!

I can now log into www.localcarcade.com. However, I just cannot load the damn thing, that visual verification is a right pain. I can't work out the letters being displayed half the time and clicking it (like the instructions say) does not load a new one! I originally thought it was not uploading because I was getting the letters wrong, but I got a nice obvious one and it still doesn't work! 

I enter the following details (after logging in of course):

Image file: Select the file "Rolling Thunder - Atari Ireland Marquee.ai" which is 2,092kb and is 1607px x 467px (so within the guidelines)

Thumbnail File: Select the file "Rolling-Thunder-Thumbnail-300x89.jpg" which is 14kb and 300x89 (so within the guidelines)

Image Title : "Rolling Thunder - Marquee - Atari Ireland"

Description : "Adobe Illustrator vector version of the marquee for the Atari Ireland version of the 1986 Namco classic, Rolling Thunder.

The trousers of Albatross and the mask and torso of the enemy have had the half tone colouring emulated."

Keywords : rolling thunder namco atari ireland adobe illustrator

I type in the verification letters and press "Submit". The page simply reloads and blanks out the Image File and Thumbnail File details I entered and says "Select an Image File!". I've tried Firefox and IE and both do the same thing! I give up!
