how to make your own ds lite covers: a quick lesson

September 8th, 2009 comments stumble it! digg it! by: alisha k.

Are you paying attention? This will be a quick tutorial on customizing your Nintendo DS Lite. Here we go. Step one: draw some stuff. It probably helps if you can draw. Step two: vectorize that business and print it out. Step three: cut out designs from desired material and affix to DS. Sounds simple, eh?

I doubt it was that simple. At least, I’m sure I couldn’t pull it off. But if you’re hoping for more handy tips at the source, give it up; this nifty little DIY DS cover is the only thing to be found on a new deviantART account, and there’s a lack of detail about the process. As in, there’s none. Feel free to imagine aliens swooped in and drew up the whole project. That’s what I’m going with.

On a serious note, vector art could lead to all sorts of interesting DS designs. Would love to see if anyone had tried something similar!
