Chandra, Page 5: Stand By For Transmission

The Beginning of Chandra / Go to the Previous Page / Continue to the Next Page



And here we are, continuing with the three bar format, on our zoom into Shackleton Crater in the southern hemisphere of the moon.  It's funny, I feel like writing these things is like making a director's commentary.

Another area of struggle has been the correct font and bubble shape.  There are just SO MANY options/directions one can go with this.  It's like background music in a film, if it's good, you don't notice it.  If it's bad, it's the first thing to stab you in the eye (or ear, as it were).

Here you can see I was playing around with a bubble colored a slight yellow to indicate another voice.  Not sure how that reads though.

For Chandra I ended up going with the Digital Strip font at Blambot.com, a really excellent resource for hopeful creatives.

So...who's talking here?  You'll find out on the next page.
