Zine Time at SCAD

So yesterday was the Zine fair at SCAD. It was held in the Student Center, and was filled with the usual trip-tastic light show on the ceiling in the main room on the second floor. Thankfully the table I was at was under an overhang and so we managed to avoid the vertigo affects and general annoyance of the light shifting. (In truth I think it's a neat idea, but I don't know why they don't make it less... night club or opium den like.)

This is what my table set-up was like. Tucked in a nice little nook, but with wall prominence behind me. I managed to make some sales, though I didn't have all the product I wanted to have out. Oh well, that just means more for the Shoujo Phonebook Artists' Alley. That's on May 19. I intend to have a full sketchbook, as well as some bookmarks, and print outs of everyone's favorite of my tarot card images.

I'll say this about the zine fair. I learned a lot about laying out a book and how incredibly difficult it is to do double sided pages on a computer without doing straight photocopying. And, I think I missed putting page one into the booklet. O_o Talk about strange and unusual. That sucks for the people who got it. Oh well. The new booklets will be the whole 11 pages. For the sake of the booklet I killed the splash page on page 8 and made it a promotional stand / cover image instead. I also didn't have covers on the booklets, and they were horribly stapled.

I've got a list of things to do better for next time. Including coloring the display that was behind me.

But that's all on that for now. I'm off to do some yoga before a long day of inking.
