A-Kon Ad!

[doronjosama]

Just thought some of you would like a sneak peek at the Radio Comix ad we made for the back cover of the program guide this year. ^_^ The con theme this year is pirates vs. ninjas, so we went with that. It's also screamingly YELLOW. No way anyone can miss it.

Behind the cut, because it's a fairly large image.





I should also say, this is already at the printers and being printed, so alas, we can't make any changes to it at this late stage. Just sharing the image with everyone for fun. ^_^

Actually, that's a really cool ad, graphically speaking. It stands out, like you said, you can't miss it, and the copy is fun to read. Good work!

I want that big sticky font!!!

Unrelated:

I have not forgotten your interest in the Pink Monster Cape, and I still plan to make a matching clutch. I just thought I'd touch base with you before Design Festa. I might get tempted to sell it day two of Festa but if you are still interested I won't. It's a fairly simple thing to make (fur fake fur is annoyingly costly, so I'd probably sell it at 7,000 yen, or 60$....with matching clutch I'd probably charge you about 80$ total.

Still interested?

Ooooooh, quandary! I want them, but am in a tight money spot for the next couple of months (convention season... you know the drill). So I say, sell them at Design Festa and make your moolah back! I am a patient thing and as long as you can duplicate the concept, I can wait. ^_^ That way I also don't feel enormous guilt over making you hold on to stuff I can't buy yet. Hooray! it works for everyone!

The font is called "Whoopass" and is a free font- but we can't remember where we got it!

[doronjosama.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It took the combined forces of all of us at Radio to make it. ^_^ We're like Voltron or something! ^_~

[parasitegirl.livejournal.com]

I made a patterns when I created the first one and I have more fur. I'll see if I can sell it. And this way you can even tell me if you have any requests on the eye color of the next one.

[smudge-dragon.livejournal.com]

ARR! Me pok'd out me other eye with that'their yellow! AVAST!

^.^

Awesomesauce! I'm such a font-whore - I want to dry-hump your masthead. Esp. love the pirate/ninja icons. Great concept and layout!

[hecatemahadevi.livejournal.com]

"Font-whore"? Is that the official term now? I'm sure I qualify, with almost 1400 font families currently installed on my computer ^^;;;;;;

[kapdwa.livejournal.com]

"WhoopAss" is a Blambot.com font, and is free for small press comicker types. And I recognise the pirate from "Webdings".

[doronjosama.livejournal.com]

Haha! Yes, that's where we got the pirate clipart from! But we made the ninja out of him in Photoshop. ^_^

Good to know that's a BlamBot font, once we stick fonts in the computer, we tend to forget where they came from. Which is kind of bad... we need a font book.

Pretty! ^^
And thank you for including my name in there. *glee*
i like the pirate/ninja icons too!
See you at A-Kon!

[okojosan.livejournal.com]

That's a great ad!

[doronjosama.livejournal.com]

Heh, you got a mini bio in the book in our section too! It's only about 2 or 3 lines, but I managed to squeeze it in. ^_^ I love the program guide, because it's free promotion!

[doronjosama.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ^_^ When in doubt, always go with the randomly amusing in advertising. At least, that's what I think...

[crowhen.livejournal.com]

This is awesome! I have a table at A-Kon. Maybe I will get to meet you :D The joyness!

[doronjosama.livejournal.com]

Hopefully! I'll probably be stuck at our table most of the con (in the dealer's room...) I usually only get to escape to pee, and when the con staff come tell me when I am late for a panel. ^_~ I work pretty hard at A-kon!

I warn you in advance, I am stupidly shy in person. ^_^;;;;;

[crowhen.livejournal.com]

Join the club ;) I'll hopefully manage to switch into "hyper sales associate mode" at the table. Not sure yet. First convention with table.
