Pixel Art: Some Questions
As an assignment in my Quark Express class, I am to redesign a CD cover. This seems moreso a Photoshop exercise to me, and I wish to treat it as such.
I've picked the most recent Mini-bosses CD: The Brass LP. My idea was a pixelated trumpet head in the corner spewing forth various notes and famous NES mini-bosses (BoomBoom, ProtoMan, etc) ripped straight from emulators. Now, what is the best way to create pixel art like this? I would have to do the notes and the trumpet myself, but I can imagine there being much a problem with pixel size and importing images like that. Does anyone have any pointers?
