I'm making a WPT translite and I'm looking for any input or interest.
Thanks

It's a decent start, I'd say.

"World Poker Tour" needs to be bigger and also stand out more,
color-wise from the background. Probably should use a "trailing away"
text effect for something like this, either, unless you put it on top of
something that'll help with the perspective.

"Texas Hold Em" needs to not be there at all.

Composition-wise, you need to give the eye somewhere to rest. There is
just a lot of bouncing around right now.

On the plus side, it won't take much to beat the current one.

On the contrary, I don't think there's enough. It isn't really
pinball without mammaries. The more prominent and centrally-located,
the better.

No offense, but that looks pretty hokey and amateurish...

I do agree the original translite is ugly...good luck on making a new
one...

I'm interested, but I don't have much positive to say about this. Oh wait, the
cards are nice.

(Also, stop using outer glow on nearly every layer; looks really amaturish.)

It's got to outdo the original to have any hope. It would make a
horrible instruction card/free play card....;-), but I'm sure there
are thousands here who would love it. :-P

As someone's who very familiar with the TV show, it immediately jumps
out at me that the title is in a semi-generic font instead of the
official WPT logo.

In that case, are you guys familiar with the Royal Flush Girls? They're
the WPT "mascots" for lack of a better term. Maybe use an image like
this:

..with "WORLD POKER TOUR" across the top, and the WPT logo over the
podium at the bottom middle.

He seems like a hands-on kinda guy. I'm sure he'll get a grip on it.

I had someone fix my WPT translite with a sharpie:

The original on mine isn't that bad once I evened the lighting out
well over the whole translite with reflector panels, plus that makes
the title on top jump out like it should with that white lettering.
I'd do it to any Stern I bought in the future as long as they keep
using a single tube. Wouldn't ever be able to stand looking at a
stock Stern glass in my house again without my mods. Did it to my
LOTR also.

Anyway AFAIK a glass can't be the worst ever when there's a pleasant
pair of titties right in the center ; )
