Kontrol S4 Overlays

Kontrol S4 Overlays
Posted on: 10.12.2010 by Jacquiline Alabran
Well now since the s4 is out, overlays are availaible from 12inch skins. I have the template for the controller and I am a graphics designer by day and DJ in training by evening . I really appreciate what everyone contibutes to this community and id like to contibute my skills also.

If anyone wants a custom skin, Ill be more than happy to design it for you to your request for a design fee of $15. Then I'll send you the file that you can upload to 12inch and purchase the skin and have it mailed directly to you. All im offering is the design, not the production.

Here are a few pics of one that another member did and one that ive done along with the 12inch one. Ill continue to work on more and more. Please feel free to add any ideas and requests.



Heres one i did last evening

You are welcome Kartel!

Thanks for the good work on the skin. I was impressed with the thickness and quality of it.

Great vid. Thank you for this effort! Your KS4 looks great.

Thanks Haze! I like the 3D jogs too

Was going for easy to see in low lighting (and succeeded), but the skin will not glow under black light. It does however have a slight shimmer and great contrast under black light alone, and of course the DJTT UV knobs are like a beacon.

Finally got mine in. Wish the color matched the knobs better, but the pic makes it look more yellow than it really is also. Over all I'm happy with how it came out.

Ya i found that, but in the world thats just like saying "I drive a Chevy" Leaves A LOT of details out. I emailed them with specifics like brand, series, process, etc.

Hopefully the reply soon. Id like to do them but i have a non compete so i cant.

Yeah, that'd be awesome!

This is the sticker i'm planning to put on my MacBook Pro (13") since I go by Coldfuzion I just thought it'd be slightly fitting:

Skinz consist of an air release vinyl, solvent inks and micro textured, scratch resistant polycarbonate laminate....technically speaking.
Jacquiline Alabran

Ive got an E-mail in at 12Inch Skins asking them for more info on their product. More specifically what kind of vinyl are they using and whether or not they an us UV reactive vinyl.

13.12.2010
yes i agree with you something simple....UV reactive woould be awesome as i always loved how the xone 4D looks under the blacklight...

what are the overlays made of btw?? are they like the ones DJTT make?

I believe a lot of these are pretty neat... but BUSY as hell.

I like something quite simple really. If I were (and may) do one, I'd probably make it UV reactive and keep it a single color with black lettering, and have it be consistent.

Newest sneak peak. Easily 14 hours into this one so far! Still have a long way to go. I'm calling this one "DJ Inside" Tell me what ya believe!

Well I can remove the logo but thats not to say that they wont put it back on. One thing I would do is email and ask them if they are willing to remove to logo. or at the very least be allowed to change the color combo so it better matches the skin.

Since they are technically the ones printing and cutting the overlay they will want some type of branding on it. I dont typically brand my designs as i dont find it necessary. My promotion is all about word of mouth. It keeps it personal.

As far as the knobs go, from what i have heard is that the faders are easy to remove but the knobs are more difficult. Best way would be to protect the controller with a soft cloth and use a flat screw driver to GENTLY pry them off.
