Applying to become a Typesetter

Negi Erebea · Subject: Applying to become a Typesetter Wed Feb 11, 2009 1:24 pm

Well first I kinda rushed this one in plus it took me an hour to do this >..> (had to think the story and stuff) and yeah... its my first time doing it. Second, i was actually planning to join in around 2 months but since I found alot of free time for my lifetime, i guess I can use this opportunity (if that is the word lol).

Hey hey, that's not half bad. I like your usage of a variety of fonts instead one one or two. Your shaping is nice for the most part, could use a little improvement. The main thing that needs more work is centering. Making sure the text is sized right so that it fits the bubble well and is centered decently. And that's just some of it, most of it was centered nice. Other than that I like it. I'd like to see other pages, but we'll go from here. As for acceptance, we'll have to wait for Ras.

font usage is nice.

Imagination is quite nice as well(I can see how it can make sense)

overall, not bad... however

centering needs work. The text should never touch the bubble unless it's intentional. Also, rotation needs some work. The Kyaaaa should have been rotated into the shape of the panel.

That's my critique, let ras say the rest.

try to listen and learn from Ras, he is one of the best typesetters around (some of the really big groups have some typesetters that can rival ras but that's all). i think you are doing good, keep practicing and you will get better in no time.

Well Meow look at it like this....Life is like a box of chocolates...just kidding. We aren't expecting people to be good as soon as they try out. Unless its for the translator(which we need) or proofreading position. When it comes to the typesetting and cleaning we look for people who have potential, that with a little practice can be good. It's not like the newbies will be typesetting NA next week they'll start out at the academy and work their way up.

ok I did Negima !? Neo as it was requested by Ras (via PM)

Spoiler:

I didn't redraw, I just clean it and the one's that aren't needed.
And I really didn't expect it would turned out to be like this... but I mastered the centering and stuff I guess..
Anyway I'll do the other 2... and I may not do Neo since it was hard..
