Analog Cassete Deck Theme

(1/8) > >>

PHK Brasil:


 





♪
This is my new theme, based on an analog cassete deck.

For the first time, I tried to be a few accurate to reality, with some details and daring to use 3D perspective plan. I liked the result.

1) The Play/Pause/Rew/FF keys got movement like a real tape-deck, according to the player status.
2) The Shuffle and Hold moving as push-buttons.  
3) A five position switch moves representing the Repeat modes.
4) The led meters are used to display Volume and Battery levels graphically, with numerical info below.
5) A led indicates Disk Activity
6) The progress bar is the tape itself, filling the cassete window. Obviously, just a symbolization, very far from a real tape movement.
7) The counter displays the current track time.

I did some versions with pannel colour variations.

I think in put movement in the cassete reels, but maybe will cause skips... I don't know.

Maybe I'll change something. Suggestions?

That's pretty sweet.  The only thing I can think of to "change" is to have the... what are they called?  The wheelie things that the tape rolls up on.  Have those actually turn.  3 graphics should be enough.  When playing, have a .5 second or so pause between changes in graphics.  maybe also have a single "they're moving too fast to see" graphic for FF and RW.

soap:
Very impressive.  Lots of very well done details.

I have to say I'm impressed, PHK nice theme indeed. Go for it on the animation, that would be icing on the cake. I like the menu image, for the WPS I say go with the blue ( the brown is classic, but I like the look of the blue better)
again, nice work. ;)

Yotto:
Another possible addition, the "Next" song could be another cassette, on its side.  Or the packaging to said cassette.  Don't know exactly how you'd do it, but as if it's sitting there, ready to put in next once this song's done.
