Finally the story continues....a little bit.

Okay there was a lot of experimenting here. Firstly I exported from Photoshop, and then from Illustrator (instead of just importing the lettering into Photoshop like last time). This allowed more control over the size of the lettering, but I decided to go with a smaller font size this time (about 10pt). Maybe I should switch to a font that's actually designed for comics before it's too late. Hey Gorgeous (from kevinandamanda.com) just doesn't seem to have an appropriate amount of leading on it...and I have to keep crediting the source as stated in their agreement. Shame. It's the Paper Mario 2 dialogue font.

Anyway, first time doing sound effects in Illustrator, and also my first time using depth of field and motion blurs. Just in case you ask "why didn't you put a blur on the propeller and the falling shyguy?", well I tried it and it looked stupid, and the comic masters in the field say blurs should be used sparingly.

Does anybody know if png's are a lossy or lossless picture format? I thought they were lossless, but regardless every time you export them from an application (like from Photoshop and then from Illustrator) you would lose some of the picture quality.

Oh and as for the story, it is going somewhere, but you probably won't be able to see it until pg5.
