Title: Memory Man Artwork for Total Recall Build
Post by: nzCdog on February 15, 2022, 12:30:59 AM
Hey all! I'm planning my next build, a Total Recall PCB I've had for a few years.  I think I want to use a 1590XX in landscape orientation, and make it look like an old big box DMM. 

Hoping to imitate something like this.  I'd move the blend pot to match this control orientation.

I only have pretty basic graphic design skills, so was wondering perhaps if anyone knows of any existing artwork from the DMM big boxes out there I could use to get me started?  Or any tips?  My idea was to use GIMP to create a vector file for a Tayda UV print job.  Thanks in advance :)

Wow! That looks great! Did you recreate the type manually? I didn't think that it was an available typeface.

Yeah, it was a major pain in the butt. 😂

No problem.  I'll send you the files in a sec.  Keep in mind the 3pdt location on my graphic might conflict with the Total Recall PCB.  I think Brian is working on a new/compact layout though so that would probably work fine.  The one I built used althe old school Dirtbag PCB!
