nice job. you could use a few minor touch ups but i think its good enough to pass but you obviously need ras's approval. i 'll add you to the Scanlation Academy for now untill you become a full typesetter.

ya one of the fine tunings you might want to learn to do is how to size your text in the word bubbles i think gal posted a good guide for this. great job on the second attempt you had a lot of improvement from your first try

So far as grammar goes, missing period in panel two, missing comma in panel three, and weird capitalization in panels one through three (Stupid, Trap, Those). I mentioned this earlier but I'll post it in case nobody remembers. For posterity. Very Happy

uhmm err Hello Meow Kun! How's the weather today

Nah I can't be slack

First use the the centre, The one that looks like this . Don't do your own centering because it won't do any good.

Second Ignore and bubble speech space if there any more text to put in (like what you did on the bottom page.) You can adjust its size by pressing ctrl + T, and dont make a new text layer on the same bubble unless it is needed to (for small writings and stuff etc). So you gotta make that "but, but, [Big Space like a massive new paragraph] it looks so delicious"
into
"but, but [Enter] it looks so delicious." Then you can adjust the sizes and all that by pressing ctrl+T And try to make sure that the text dont touch the outside boxes..it shouldn't be like that.

Third use only ONE text type. Different kinds of text type will kill it and will cause AAS as the worst Scanlating team. You should also have a habit to use the Bold when you think its necessary (like when the person's yelling).

Well this probably what I can think of. If you mastered them, try to do re-drawing...which is a major pain. And if you (or someone) dont get what I'm typing, then I have no choice but to type it in like a kindergarden.

EDIT: Ctrl + t is also use of rotation of the text. So try and master the rotating as well.

i mostly agree with what negi said, while i do think you need to stop using so many fonts on a single page, and font choice can make or break a group in some cases, you shouldn't limit your font choice to one font, try to use three or for for the different kinds of bubbles in each chapter. also make sure that you keep them consistent with the other typesetters in your series. gal posted this a while ago on my application thread:

well, i gave the rest of my comments over IRC last night so..
