slr2moons: a self-portrait, of me in my usual habitat: in front of my computer monitors! (hopeful)
I've long been watching the exodus of my flist's fellow artists to Tumblr, and after mcruthless kindly introduced me to how it works the last time I visited her IRL, I felt more kindly toward it. It IS the place to be, now! And given my networking skills in person are rather pathetic, I should do what I can online. So!

Hello, Tumblr! I have yet to do anything with it beside sign up and follow two good friends, but I will soon. I also decided to sign up under my real name, as it's time to start being more professional. Kind of. (The variations of my first name and initials were all taken, and "sheep" has unfortunate connotations. Hi world, here's my full name!) :P~~

For the record, this isn't only because of LJ's unfortunate choice in re-design. I've been meaning to claim my tumblr for a while, the re-design just goosed me to finally do it. I'm still going to post and read LJ. I've made too many wonderful friends, online and IRL, to give LJ up.

It's time for the "I don't know what I'm doing!" :D song! This is a completely stupid song I sing to a taunting neener-neener schoolyard melody, consisting entirely of that one line of lyrics on infinite loop. I belt it out when I'm quite literally making stuff up as I go. Such as right now, as I'm floundering around in the deep end of the InDesign swimming pool.

If I may wax psychological, I know the song is an attempt to make light of whatever it is I'm attempting and thus keep me calm, and I suppose it works.

So yeah. "I don't know what I'm dooooinnnng!" :D For example, I just had to stick a 100% bleed manga page into the program. The page in question is solid black, except for a white title and some artwork. The page's bleed wasn't big enough to fill the English version and maintain the logo's size and placement when compared to the original Japanese tanko (book)...so I drew some black rectangles to fill out the white space and complete the bleed.

But is this kosher? It looks good to me, and matches the tanko. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I think it will be okay...but...who knows?? Very well then, sing it with me!!!

"I don't know what I'm doooooinnnng!" :D

(I have a new title, with the ever-awesome Clay Editor 3. Don't know if I can talk about specifics yet. This is the first time I'm using InDesign. [livejournal.com profile] ensuing and [livejournal.com profile] lyschan kindly introduced me to the program with some PMs about it months ago. Now that I've actually used it--a little sorta kinda WTHIDE--I'll bet those PMs will make a lot more sense.)

Wheee!!! One more time! XD Everyone together now!!!! "I don't know what I'm doooooinnnng!" :D

This post was also an attempt to keep slr2moons calm and let her keep poking at InDesign without freaking out. Carry on with your normal Friday evening.
