So, I’m fine with working in a small group; really, I am. Just like I’m fine with group members being busy and having lives. But I need cleaners now, and apparently I only have one who’s alive. As such:
Recruitment Post!
You know the drill: take the test on our FAQ page (download two images and clean them of all Japanese text, including sound effects. Redraw to the best of your ability) and email it to us at mahouxscans@gmail.com. You’ll get a response (eventually; don’t expect next-day service unless you’re really lucky) saying whether you passed or not, and also stating any fixes you could make.
Keep in mind that this is a test; I will not be holding anyone’s hand through Photoshop 101. Why? Put quite simply, I suck at Photoshop. I can point out areas that will be hard to cover for the letterer or parts that just look ugly, but that’s it. Basically, prior knowledge is prefered, but newbies have blown my mind before so don’t get discouraged.
If you pass, please remember to communicate your status to me. If you’re busy, tell me; if you’re quitting, tell me. I seriously don’t care what pace you work at, as long as I know you’re still working. I don’t want to sound like a control freak, but, well…
Anyway, apply! Help me get back into the mood for scanlating! I swear you’ll get your chapters sooner if you keep me focused on the group for a while.
Hey, any update on the missing pages from 158?
Urgh. Getting on that, too.
Hey, what font do you guys use for your credits page? S’neat.
I think it’s Copperplate Gothic.
Hmm, you sure? Copperplate Gothic is kind of thin. I meant the font on this page: http://www.mangareader.net/yankee-kun-to-megane-chan/142/21
It’s a lot bolder than Copperplate Gothic: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/family.aspx?FID=40
Rockwell Condensed.
Sweet. Thanks a lot!
You’re welcome!
Huh, thought that might have been it. Yay for Typography class.
What’s the average time for an image?
I tried it but it i’m quite slow.
I honestly don’t know, but time’s not necessarily a huge factor. Send what you’ve got anyway!
I just started yesterday and doing it with gimp.
I don’t use Windwos and gimp is free.
I’m doing something like that the first time in my life so it won’t be so good.
I send it today… :)
