Manolo was kind enough to share his

with a purple instead of blue tint, and a HotRod on the bottom left with
the buttons labelled, and an instruction card on the bottom right.

MAME marquee - Richard Kirk
Richard
Kirk also created an excellent MAME marquee for everyone to share.
You can preview
it here. From RIchard: "People always seem to ask too so I'll
tell you how I printed it. Fortunately for me I work for a newspaper
so I printed it to 4 film separations (CMYK) and then used a technique
called croma proofing to print a full colour glossy image. Then I trimmed
it up and stuck it between two pieces of plexiglass (already in my machine).
Looks great with the backlit flouro. Any decent printing place should be
able to print one of these out at the required size for no more than $50.
Hope you like it." Thanks Richard!

Frostillicus'
vector shape creation tutorial
Frostillicus sent us the news that
he's created a tutorial in PDF format on how to create vector shapes with
emphasis on arcade artwork. Zipped up it's 2.2MB (it's 38 pages with graphics).
There are some general tips, some do's and don'ts, and even talks about
printing options. It is for total beginners, because there have been some
beginner questions on artwork. Updated - now includes the akuma sample
AI file used in the tutorial.
