experimental journal 1/50

what is this you may ask? well, I have to do 50 design-related experiments for a class that isn't completely useless but should have definitely been something we took at the beginning of the program not 4 semesters in. so I decided that I would have fun with it and use this as a way to document them because the reason I have been putting it off is that I do not want to make the pdf for it after every experiment. yes, I am aware that this is probably just as much work but it is more fun than making an InDesign file and documenting what I just did. this way I have all my thoughts on it for when I actually do my write-ups.

for this experiment, I followed this tutorial for a vintage poster. I think it turned out pretty well, mine is a bit darker than the original tutorial. I think that was caused by the paper texture I used. the background photo is from Unsplash. for the font, I used Neue Haas Grotesk, they did not list what font they used so I opened my TikTok collections because I will always save any video that claims to have the best _ fonts or best fonts on _. I also attempted the little oval with small text that is on top of the original but because of the composition of the photo I used, it looked a bit awkward in the space. overall this was a fun first experiment.

experimented with: hue & saturation, filters (noise and gaussian blur), and text effects (drop shadow).

watching: Fundie Fridays: Gwen Shamblin Lara & The Remnant Fellowship

listening to: Moviestruck: Episode 51: Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui (2004)

drinking: water out of my stanley, look at me being healthy

bleed for me

I’ve been working on a new hobby for a while (and it’s far from perfect!!) but it’s cool to think I made this from start to finish!

#also trying to get comfortable sharing the process of learning!#parts I liked: typesetting!!!! and the designing and weeding the htv #parts I did not like: the actual construction haha - I pressed too hard with my heat press and glue seeped out on the cover & back #AND painting the edges - I think I did the wrong method #but! I think the next one will be even better #and for clarity re: some binding discourse #I’m binding for personal use only and with authors permission 💖#graphics are from Canva but edited by me #fan fic binding #fic binding #jess binds

A few years ago, I mistakenly let it be known at work that I was particularly (for an office setting) skilled in Word, including typesetting, creating fillable forms, and converting to PDF. Since then I have not known peace.

Our HR officer is terrified of Word, so she’s asked me to do any heavy document lifting -- she’ll need a form for something, download a template for it, then ask me to make it look good and add our logo, that kind of thing. Happy to do it most of the time, keeps me sharp and teaches me new skills. But she also has me do the formatting on the Employee Handbook, which is 100 pages long and began life as a Rich Text File (for the Youth: imagine if Word had the same general capabilities and limitations as a Tumblr post window).

Because she doesn’t understand the relationship between Word and PDF very well, when she had the handbook reviewed by our lawyers this year, she sent them a PDF of it. Inexplicably, rather than asking her for the Word document and doing a track-changes edit, they took the PDF, made the necessary changes by editing the PDF, converted it into a Word document, and sent it back to her. She, seeing no problems, sent it on to me.

What the conversion from PDF back to Word did was embed anything dynamic (date, page number and section title in the footer, dynamic table of contents, etc), kill all the Style formatting that allowed me to create a dynamic table of contents in the first place, turn half the headers and half the document-body headings into embedded graphics at the top of the page, and turn a lot of the Justified text into left-aligned text with extra spaces to mimic Justified text. It also replaced every natural page break with a section break.

Because they edited it in PDF format, the changes aren’t tracked, so I can’t tell what was changed, and thus can’t simply go back into the clean Word document I used last year and make the changes. In theory I could use the Compare function on the documents and make edits in the clean Word document, but every time I try, Word crashes, probably because it’s horrified by the Lovecraftian nature of the new handbook draft.

So I am building, from the ground up, a new handbook based on text I have completely stripped of formatting and pasted into a new document. I am on page 39 of 98. Pages 85-98 are fillable forms. Pity me.

Borrowing a trick I learned in grad school for costume design--when you feel at all alienated from your characters because they exist in a different time, try to imagine them in the present. What's the same? What changes? How would they act with different social pressures on them, and what does that say about the heart of their personality?

I felt like I was getting in the weeds plotting #untitledregencyfantasyproject and moving the characters around like chesspieces, rather than letting them have some agency to drive the story, so here's a little experiment - drawing the girls as contemporary students (I'm lucky to have loads of reference on a daily basis).

Gwen, a romantic, wears her wispy hair long, , and sports a flirty challis jumpsuit (it's probably floral). I think she'd major in bio specifically to do fieldwork because she wants very badly to have Adventures™. Julia, meanwhile, is an English Lit major who loves being comfortable, and thrifts all her clothes as a point of pride. Her eyes aren't bad enough in URFP to make the concession to glasses quite yet, but her brother wears them, so it's likely that modern opticians would recommend it (especially since her contemporary self would never be far from her laptop).
