setting objects into perspective without unwanted funky warping

@b77 @Devil-Dinosaur
Thank you both for your help and taking the time to share ideas and directions. I had not considered the 4 point distortion tool and clearly there's a lot I need to look into, in order for things to look correct in perspective.
i also have some questions and ideas on how to improve the 4 point distortion tool. I need to play with it more, but for example, it would be nice to be able to completely control how much of an edit is made instead of guessing by hand. I'll make a new post on that topic in case there are things I missed.
For now, following your advice and given some time constraints getting this sent off to the client, I ended up with this result:
To me it looks a whole lot better than where I started, and in this situation, the speakers are in the background, so even if it's off a little, it won't hurt the design overall. This was the end result:
Did everything inside VS except for using Illustrator CS6 to create the offset path on "Let's Rock-n-Roll" because VS offset path does not always love detailed fonts yet! and also used it to create the 3D effect on the "CCMS" at the top

Cool poster

@Devil-Dinosaur said it already
impressive Result

@Subpath @Devil-Dinosaur thank you! I appreciate it. This was a fun one to do. The school wanted a unique design for the students instead of the overused bulldog mascot. They suggested a rock poster theme instead. It's always fun to see a rough idea turn into a final design because while the idea is there, you never know exactly how it will turn out in the end! I learned more about stacking speakers from @b77, at least making them look a little more authentic.
I always get inspired seeing what others create in VS, socially since there's a diverse collection of styles and interests amongst the forum contributors. I'm going to try to post more examples of things I make in VS on the forum and I hope anyone who feels comfortable doing so will share as well.
It would provide opportunities to talk about the ways things get created, show off what VS can do, and learn from each other.

@Boldline Nice! I wonder did you find a way to space the guitar frets automatically?
LATER EDIT: Never mind, it can be done by adjusting the Blend Transfer curve.
-
@b77 I had not thought to do that with the Blend transfer curve - that's a tool I know about and what it can do but have no played around with yet. In this case I had the guitar standing upright and made the first and using copy and paste, just dragged them down to each location expanding their width as needed.
This is why I want to see more art shared - so many opportunities to talk about the best tool for the job.

I agree. Maybe a "Work" or "Work in Progress" or "Case study" section on the Forum would be a good thing. (for forum members only?)

Would plead more for a gallery
Btw. I don't think we would really need a new section for this.
Someone could open a thread and call it "Gallery".
And every forum member could post in it.I am also interested in what other users think about this topic.
Is this Thread Idea for a "Gallery" ok ? Or what is your opion ?

@Subpath @Devil-Dinosaur I asked @VectorStyler about this and while he was supportive, he was also concerned of the amount of storage space the images would take up. (correct me if I'm wrong in my summation of your thoughts @VectorStyler)
Maybe if we had a rule that images in that section would be linked instead of embedded?

Maybe if we had a rule that images in that section would be linked instead of embedded?Sure. It's fair. My only (little) concern is to find a storage place that is compatible with the forum and everyone's browser. I remember that my own website doesn't appear to some of the members (probably because my hosting is not https) and Google drive storage neither works here for images (but is apparently OK for videos).
If someone has a clue. I may also consider Dropbox if it works.

Well, I have already assumed that the storage space
might be a problem.Apart from the imagehosters, Recordit could also be used
for this maybe unusual, but possible.
