Hi, I'm superasm. I saw a recruitment page in one of the manga you do, so I thought I'd apply to be a typesetter. I had been thinking about trying to join a group for awhile now, couldn't really decide at first since theres so many of them out there. I have Photoshop CS. This is the first time that I've done typesetting though, so I don't know how well I did. The 3 pages from the test are below.

I can't defend my opinion with particularly good arguments, but I think it looks good. There are dialogue errors in the second page but that's not typesetting anyway.

well i thought it wasn't bad at all...
but thats just me i suppose. since i can't typeset worth sh*t.

nice avvy btw.

i'd say that you are a very promising candidate indeed and i'd say that you pass the test.
but we'll wait for Ras to give the final word.

well, they are in order that I did them. the first one I tried to keep the font size 14 but had to make some of it smaller so it would fit. The second one I tried to keep as close to the same size as possible, since I had problems with the first. And the last one, I did at like 1:30 - 2:00 in the morning so I was getting tired , and I probably should have waited till today to do it.

wow, you didnt even put any words in tonkatsu, im impressed. its pretty good, you should get in.

I would like to join you guys and help. And i understand what you mean, after all, you need practice to get good at doing something. Also on the subject of NA their bubbles are kind of small, and i was trying to put too much text in them, i think thats one of the reasons i had problems with it. (couldn't think of a shorter or simpler script for it, not really good at just making stuff up)

don't feel bad. my typesetting is painful to look at. just ask Meow about it XD

we should pick up a series for newbies and for existing members to try new things.

the only problem is that once we start doing it, it's somewhat high demand

I got a e-mail saying that I've been added to the group, so that means I've been accepted, right? and if so, will I be messaged though email or the forum if you want me to do something?

through the forum, but it send you an email when you get a PM

Oh, ok.
Thanks

I guess this is where I'm supposed to post these. This is the new test that i was asked to do.

I did this next one twice because I wasn't sure which way would be the preferred way for the text.

well, thats all of them. Oh, and on the first one in the middle right panel, there wasn't anything in the script for Tonkatsu's bubble so I just put in what I thought would most likely be in it.

Definitely better. Constructive criticism:

1) NA: Try not to join the text in conjoined bubbles. For example on page 1 panel 3: Put Hn, in the top right area by itself then put the rest in the bottom left bubble. Same thing with "Yeah," "Of course this is one of those." and others like that.

2) Neo: I'd like to see redrawing, but it's not required. The Nekane-onee-chan in the 4th panel needs to be gray since that's a thought bubble. #707070 should do it. Lastly, use different fonts for bg text and bubble text.

That's about it. Your centering and shaping aren't bad.

ah, yeah i know what you mean about NA i didn't think of that when i did it though, and Neo i thought that the fonts should be different, but of the fonts that came with the test, i didn't think the other 2 looked quite right for the BG or the bubbles.
