Before you start

Before you start the design, there are several points you should notice.

 The picture size should be limited in 640 pixels x 480 pixels.

 The picture can be GIF, dynamic GIF or BMP format.

 Due to limited BIOS memory, it would be wise if you can have the design as small as possible.

Design Procedures

Follow the steps one by one, you can design your own JukeBox Player easily.

1. Open a new image in any drawing software like Photoshop and set the image size to 640 x 480 pixels. This size area is where you

can draw any picture on. Please note that if your image format is dynamic GIF, the 1

design.

2. Pinpoint a display area which is the screen your player will show LED functions on it. Locate the up left corner at pixel (217, 170) and

lower right corner at pixel (340, 217) like Fig.1. It is not necessary that you have to make it rectangular, however you should leave

at least this sized area for LED presentation like Fig.2.

4. Lastly, you can decide the image effect of the display screen by defining specific colours you desire. However, you have to let us

know your definition by placing a colour bar on the up right corner of the image. Please use a square sized 5x5 pixels to represent

the particular colour you use in display screen like Fig.3 below.
