What do you think about this idea for a case window?

Post by DAE_JA_VOO »

How's it guys.

I've been wonderfing what i'll do with my Lian Li since i got it, and at the moment i've got some really nice ideas.

I'd like your opinions on something though - the window.

I found a skateboard a while back that had this graphic on it:

I think i want to make that my design on the side panel. Something like this:

Excuse my lame photoshop attempts :P

I know it looks crap here, but this is just some help so that you can form the image in your head.

What do you think?

Try more of a 'etching' look on it - like pencil tracing ?

Well i plan on that too. I want to cut this shape out, and then etch details into it, like the cross, Jesus' body, etc.

If you were able to trace the edged of the cross and Jesus's body (like in the picture) it would look awesome.

Yeah, definately trace the edges, cause at the moment it looks like a smudge..

I'd take that picture as is and print it onto transparency film then stick it onto a perspex window with a nice soothing lighting for a "religious" kind of feel.

I just don't see it looking so cool as being part of the actual side-panel. (I'm assuming above is going to be dremel'd from the side-panel)

What about a digital print on a sandblast efect vinyl. Then applying the vinyl to a clear Plexi.
