MrDisco Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 ug i hate the sharon spine and prefer the simplicity of just the desert. the cockpit images will rock though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibayo Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 OK,but the cockpit images are going to be upside,dowside or what? i think that the nose should go to the upper part of the box. I like the Bobe Patt Sharon/desert spine,but what are we going to put in the upper part of the box? Mac+ logo and macrossworld logo also? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Ok, I think we need to vote on the spine. I guess it just takes one person to throw things off. I would like to make everybody happy so we need to vote. Of course if we get more yes on the sharon spine than no's then we go ahead. What do you guys think?

Anubis Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I added a poll so we can better see who wants which spine. These are the only two well recieved spines, and go with whatever the side panels are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 (edited) Here's a basic not-really-sized-right workup using the cockpits. Not sure what to think about it though. Orientation is definately a big thing using these images, facing up is kind of odd, but this might be something to explore further. I'll do a better one with photoshop later.

Mechamaniac Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 Nah, I don't think those will look right if we use the full length images.... Try using the ones that TLW originally posted.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...pic=5050&st=820 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoneWolf Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 figure I might as well and don't worry, I do have the original image that's on the top. That's just a low-res scan I picked up off the net. Also, if I were better with PS, I would've added a nice unifying border and the logo somewhere. Come to think of it, the original image with Myung, Isamu, and Guld has a small Mac+ logo in the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangard Ace Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Mmmm.....I like that one. The only thing I can think of is to add the words Macross Plus to the spine. Like this. Oh and that reminds me, did you ever get around to scanning the mid-section of those cockpit images? I'd love to get my hands on some hi-res versions of those images.

Anubis Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 (edited) Hmm, the more I look at it, the more I like it. Even without the desert shot. Want to see that one with the std. desert first though to compare. Nice job, TLW. I think the cockpit side panels own over the lineart panels, and would be so shiny with the metal box. Bet Paul would like it better too Edited July 27, 2004 by Anubis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdr Fokker Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I think the cockpit side panels own over the lineart panels, and would be so shiny with the metal box. Bet Paul would like it better too Am I the only one now who doesn't think so? I mean, the cockpit panels do look good, and if the lineart/schematics will be problematic (due to the small writing, or whatever reason), then that's fine, but I personally prefer the lineart/schematic panels over the cockpits.

MrDisco Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 the schematic was a nice design as well however the rich colour and detail of the cockpit shot makes it visually more interesting. plus its a shot which grabs the eye and makes full use of the colour laser process. (as an aside does anyone have the skill to remove the logos that appear in the upper corners?) for the spine i stand by the dessert. for the top...hmm its a tough call. i love the simplicity of the m+ logo, however i do like the shot of the 4 principal chracters - its just unfortunate they're done in christmas colours.

Etrigan Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I prefer the simplified, connected look of the lineart schematics. It's a lot classier and less juvenile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumzi Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Probably too much nitpicking on my part, but the letters on the yf-21 are reveresed in that spread. It`s very minor, and would probably take too much photoshop effort to fix. So in that case, disregard my comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDisco Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I prefer the simplified, connected look of the lineart schematics. It's a lot classier and less juvenile. while i dont agree with your take on the cockpit pics, i do agree that the lineart is classy. HOWEVER if Paul is unable to print the labels then it makes the usefullness of the image that much less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdr Fokker Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 ...however i do like the shot of the 4 principal chracters - its just unfortunate they're done in christmas colours. Colors like that are no problem at all to someone with Photoshop and the know-how. And we have plenty of people here that know how to do this kind of thing (same thing with the extra bits of logos in the images, and the reversed writing on the -21 in that one design) I still hope that the schematics can work out, though.

Mechamaniac Posted July 29, 2004 Author Share Posted July 29, 2004 The real problem I see with that top image is that I believe the source is a poster, so it might be hard to get a high res scan of it. The other thing that is cool about that image is that even though the color clashes, it gives us space to put the MW Logo!. The bad thing is that we don't have the Macross Plus triangle logo anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwinges Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Who cares about the Macross plus triangle...the Isamu desert spine is gone. I love the new top and sides but hate the spine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneWolf Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hey man, feel free to mix and match the images Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'll be able so snag one of these box sets, so customize it however you like! I would make some more variations, but I'm hardly ever home, hell I'm not even home as I type this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted August 6, 2004 Author Share Posted August 6, 2004 OK, Paul has high res versions of the cockpit images, and the desert spine image thanks to TLW, and BBP. If anyone has a high res image of the top image (which TLW says is a poster) please PM me. The sooner we get this, the sooner Paul get start getting us mock ups of the box design. Thanks d00d5!

TheLoneWolf Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 If anyone has a high res image of the top image (which TLW says is a poster) please PM me. Does anyone know how feasible it would to take a picture of the poster with a good digital camera? Or, if kinko's has poster-size scanners? Oh yeah, to all interested parties, full scans of the YF-19 box set are now available in a whopping 28mb zip file! If I left anyone out, toss me a PM.

fulcy Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Really really REALLY bored at work, and I just got these scans from TLW, so I thought I'd throw them together really quick - this is not final, tis only what I whipped up in about a half hour - you can still see some of the seems and such. Once I get a good few hours together, it should look alot nicer... Click Me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Liquid Fox Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 We gotta be the most undecisive and anal bunch in the world.

BoBe-Patt Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 so what's the update on the boxes? Which designs are we going for? Any word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneWolf Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Well, tomorrow we're going to use a digicam in a ghetto attempt to snag an image of the poster. It doesn't have to be perfect, since we'll be editing the background colors anyway. I don't think anyone is terribly fond of the red and green "christmas" colors. Anyways, anyone got any tips when it comes to taking pictures of posters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatterBoy Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Light the poster well and make sure you get no reflctions from the light source. I recommend you use morethan one light source to get even lighting, maybe 2 or 3. Best hanging on the wall, easier to shoot. Stand directly in front of it, and make sure that from where you stand, you see no glare from the lighting sources. Once you have that, bust out your digital cam, use a tripod if at all possible. Shoot a direct on shot, no angles and use no flashes as a flash will glare back at you. In addition, if you don't shoot straight on, you're gonna get some perspective foreshortening and you don't want that. Again, NO FLASH and use a tripod since, depending on your light source, it may be a bit dim, and a tripod will prevent shake. :Dat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
