Osu! Dent, he has just done such amazing work - think it really tells the story of K4L

Gotta give it up for Kakatootoshi and Smothsnake too for the help on the names as I would not have got this done without the assistance as I've always been too nervous of having something which actually meant nothing (or worst ) in Japanese.

Osu! Nix stop blushing you know you love it

Who knows, he may be rewarded with that which befalls all who practice good deeds...

Right, Nix?

Okay, it sounds logical. Before I shuffle it around, could any of you please confirm the spelling of 'Alex'? アレックス or アレグス?

As for brush strokes, I don't think that would be a problem for me, but it might be so for the tattoo artist, depending on the size of the tattoo. I'll see what I can do about it, perhaps I can find a sexier font.

For the spelling of Alex アレックス should be better.

I think you need a break from that computer there, Nix.

I was thinking more of a hearty round of applause, but then again, (as Kansetsu always reminds me) I'm old...

Okay, let me know if there's anything you want corrected (font, size, shape, positioning, you name it). Also, have you decided on size and where you want it yet?

Yes... Yes, you are. Applause. Pfft.


*yawns* And now I'm out for a few hours sleep.

Osu!

Dear Nix,
Are you using the same set of font sizes for the second letter in "Charlotte" (シャーロット) as you do in the previous designs? If that is the case there should be no problems. I ask this because it occurs to me that the ャ has become ヤ (they are different), but I could be wrong as the words are not written in a straight line, deceiving eyes. And you do not have to deliberately change it to a smaller font size just to make it look smaller.

OSU!

You do good work, Nix. Heck, I reckon you might even be gainfully employed one day. (Terrible thing to say to a student, I know, but that's the way we old people think. )


Osu!

It should be the same character, but I do agree. It does look like a ヤ. The character is the same font size as the rest, does that make any difference?

Perhaps, but sadly not in this line of business, unless I move to London or another large city. The demand for graphic designers around here equals nill.

Dear Nix,
As long as you are using the same font size that should be alright.

In
シャーロット (correct)
and
シヤーロット (wrong)

every character is set at the same font size.

OSU!

You know, Vapor, this isn't like you. It's actually quite mean.

Now I want applesauce, and we don't get that in the Home until Saturday...

Looks great Nix - it's to be 80mm (same size as my Gi Badge) and placed just below my Kanji




Any comments chaps!

No. Yes. Maybe... What was the discussion about again? I always feel disoriented after my nap and before afternoon tea...
