Hello!

This is my first post here and I have no experience typesetting, but I am willing to help out. On the front page you said you needed regular typesetters for Nozoki Ana, so i figured I'd try to help out. It is summer so I should I should have some more time on my hands.

Does it matter if i am running cs4?

How does this process work? I have taken the fonts from other threads and read some intro to typesetting link. Is it just some pages for a test now?

-Yum

Mm, CS4 is fine ^^

Sorry for being a bit lazy, but I'm about to head off to bed.
Here's a quick "how to" introduction to typesetting: http://senbonzakura.kageyoshi.net/2009/05/02/typesetting/

As for the test, here's the pages/script. Post here once you complete it.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Fonts (in case you didn't grab these):

Code:

Speech: Wild words
Yelling: Wild words bold
And here's the GTO test:

Code:

http://www.mediafire.com/?5f18ogbs3lirb7y

General instructions:
Anti-aliasing: Smooth
Align center

I'll probably get you to do a few pages of nozoki ana on top of the normal GTO test, just so you get the knack of it (changing the fonts and such), but at the moment I'm too tired @_@.

Best of luck, if you have any problems or questions, post them here. Either myself or another staff member will be more than happy to help you out.

Good Luck on the Test!!

I can help/answer your problems/questions since I'm a fellow typesetter

<-----Typesetter for Kunisaki Izumo no Jijou
&
Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru (temporary since Cheesus will probably take it. >.<)

I want to export as png?

Go for it.
File > Save As
Format (drop down box) > PNG

For future reference, you might want to make it auto save to png since it will take a while if you save it one by one and keep changing it to Png. >.<

*Edit:
I don't know if you can auto-save to PNG instead of PSD. >.<

I just save it to PSD then Convert it with an Image Converter to PNG

heh i am not use to forums how do I post pictures XD

This work?

Upload to an image hosting site, eg. http://imageshack.us/
Then add the code for the image, eg.

Code:

Or:

Code:

The results are pretty good overall....
just remember to resize and center

probably fix:
Page 1
Panel 3
Bubble 1

that better? the reason the first one had so much space at the bottom is because the text is kinda meshing together... I dont know how to avoid that :/

Yeah, that's good

just wait for Koro for more announcements(lol) or wait for Tran to make your name to pink

kk thanks for the advice

Eh? I'm no typesetter. I can be super-picky if you want, but the real problems lie in the script... (not part of the test, so don't worry ).

well tell me if there is anything i can improve upon. I don't mind. (:

Alright then, just typesetting changes though.

page 1, panel 3, bubble 3, small text, push it towards the center of the bubble (ie. move the small text a little to the left so it's centered).

page 2, panel 1, bubble 2, increase the font size

page 3, panel 4, last bubble, make the text box thinner (so the words aren't so close to the edge of the bubble).

Also in general, when there's space and words go over two lines (eg. page 2, panel 3, second last bubble, "closing"), try to keep the word on one line by either shifting the text or changing the text box's size/dimensions.

well as a response imo
page 1 the smaller text is to the right so i would be nicer with the heart : /
but are these better?

You could still make the font on page 2 larger; it's supposed to be a surprised shriek, and there's plenty of room.
In regards to the heart, you could make the text box wider and try to make it centered yet run into the heart, or by using the clone tool (or selection, I guess) move the heart to the left slightly.
Anyway, you'll have to wait for Tran to make you staff. If any typesetters want to jump in, please do.

All that I could say is probably resizing and centering of text to the bubbles.
That is all for me

Oh, if possible try to make the text as close as the shape of the bubble

I resized and adjusted some of them. It is better?

Well I guess this is better than the first one Hope you get the job! xD

mmk, let's stop playing around with GTO.
Do these 3 Nozoki pages for me.

Code:

http://www.mediafire.com/?dkq04jyn3e5r5ek

In that pack are the cleans, raws, and the script.

Nozoki Ana Fonts
Chapter Title: AR CENA
Speech: New Wild Words
Yelling: Twin Marker
Boxes: Hobo STD

Code:

http://www.mediafire.com/?03bny31e89qu96g

rue, you badass.
Just make him/her pass, he/she's pretty good already ^^

Yeah, but Nozoki has annoying font switches 2-3 different fonts per page.

Oh just saw this was updated XD um i dont know how to make text into a circular shape it was in the raw for the chapter title page. Any help?
