transition -2-

posted 2009.05.28 at 02:40

Fun fact : when I was prototyping the second edition - working out the gutter widths, exact page size, font sizing, etceteras - this was one of the pages I used to ascertain the viability of the venture. Meaning it's one of a couple of pages to be reformatted twice. The idea behind the prototype was a straight adaptation of existing graphics, and it was implemented a couple of times in order to figure out which dpi would be easier to work with. I went with 300 instead of 320 or thereabouts, got rolling on production, and eventually made the decision to ditch the binary paint job on the Daedalus... ushering in a pile of re-renders that comes to an {it-could-but-probably-won't-}end over the next couple of pages.

First Edition Metadata

20070728 : Overhauled. Continuity, etc. See the previous version.

==================================================

Yay for having nothing much else to do today. :-) Despite a couple of non-Production hassles, everything went together reasonably smoothly. I still can't decipher what the original third panel was supposed to be, so the layout was redone into something much more effective.

Transition -3- should hopefully be up Wednesday- Thursday barring difficulties.
