Opinions on DT promo display?
« on: September 09, 2014, 07:24:16 AM »
As I said not too long ago, I am making a Dream Theater promo display for my final electronics project.
I am just about to start this project, and was wondering if anyone had any ideas for one?
Here are my ideas:
1. Majesty logo that moves using a motion sensor when people walk past
2. Eclipse in background - using electro-luminescent wire for light
3. Playing a clip of False Awakening Suite (also triggered by motion censor)
Any other ideas are much appreciated!
Thanks!

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

That was my idea. If you can think of any other things, let me know. Also, I'll be posting some designs soonish.  :biggrin:
Thanks for helping! I think the forum has been more help than the teacher so far...

This seems a lot of work to pull off but definitely go for it.  Make sure you take some pics and post them here too so we can see.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

I'll definitely post pictures. As for it being a lot, I've got a year to work on it, so I should be fine.

So, this time I need to know what YOU (as a fan of DT) would want to see from the display. Say, you went into a shop, and, on the counter or in the window, there was a small stand something like this:   or
however, it was promoting DT12
What would you like to see from it? Tell me! If you're good with photoshop or can draw, even post an image! Literally anything related to this would be helpful!
Thanks!

Have it in the Shape of a JP 13 guitar. Have the CDs displayed going up the neck.

Yeah. That was my original plan, and the majesty logo moved.
