going dotty
Hi
bored, wasting time, as with most Tuesdays I have had a meeting with my supervisor and have heaps of extra work to do. Also finalised the hand-in dates so that is good.
Now I have to go down to the public library to find some picture book cover designs that I like or hate so that I have a reference for my design. Need to get a basic one done before my refined concepts hand-in on Thursday. He has also thrown a spanner in the works as to my text. When you print something professionally it is made up of dots of cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK). And spot colours if you want but that is more expensive. Anyway the dots mean that you don't get as sharp lines as when you 'print' solid colours. Different typefaces can mean this is more or less apparent to the viewer. Anyway most of the backgrounds for my pictures are green (it's about PE class and playing soccer and gridiron). This means black text doesn't show up well enough. However the dots made when printing means I won't get a sharp line if I have white text (actually the paper colour). He has kindly pointed this out and said fix it without giving any indications of how or where to look for info. I frustrating cause at the start of the year I mentioned maybe doing some of my research on the printing process and he said I could just ask him anything and he would tell me (or tell me where to look), also said can do anything (pretty much) with modern techniques (in context of me wanting to make a 'different' / not normal book format). So is frustrating to have this problem (which I understand) but no real way of solving it in 2 days (for this hand-in) or a couple of weeks (when everything should be pretty much done and can't do much without a typeface/type colour that works).
grrrrr
that's life
better get to the library, or I'll run out of time for tea before life/cell grp
