above: layout and digital lettering with Adobe InDesign on an Imac.
It is nice to finally be able to use a functional computer... The artwork was completed using traditional art tools and then scanned at 600dpi and cleaned up in Photoshop. The final artwork is prepared for print with the final layout adjustments and text completed digitally using InDesign. I have also experimented with the sequence of the pages using small thumbnails and importing the scanned artwork into non-linear video editing software. Lettering the comic digitally has allowed for the text to be edited and altered with non destructive edits to complement the artwork. For the lettering, I have been using comic fonts designed by Blambot as my focus is on illustration rather than typography, using pre-existing fonts allows me to focus on the sequential design of the artwork.
