HOW TO MAKE A PINBALL MACHINE: Cabinet Artwork

HOW TO MAKE A PINBALL MACHINE: Creating artwork for your pinball cabinet

In this video I walk you through the process I took to create the artwork for my homebrew pinball cabinet. From a bunch of google image searching to find good resolution images, to using a vector art program to create images that can be scaled up or down to the right size for crisp printing, I do my best to cover the basics of creating artwork for your cabinet left and right sides, the backbow sides, and the translate (coin door is not covered specifically in this video, sorry).
