Management Roles
So we've had to apply for management roles in an online magazine called sans. Two, to be exact. I went for Flash Manager or Editor.
I also have to produce an article. My topic is "the fear of stepping out." That is, the fear of releasing work to the public and being negatively criticised, or worse, ignored.
Superheated Update: Recently got a book on anatomy and another on body animation. Should speed up things a little.
Eldrake update: My parents are too busy playing Portal for me to get anywhere near my steam account. Gonna be awhile before I can fix things up with the friend list.
Yenai update: YES IT IS COMING. If you've got any of the art from the KamenRiderYen threads (easymodo only saves the thumbnails, so it's no good), I'd appreciate if you could post a comment linking to them.

sans
(Apparently I thought this deserved a seperate post)
sans
from french
Meaning "without, lacking, absent, none, to be away"
Derived from latin sine meaning "without"
Sans font is well-known for its lack of serifs (ornamentation) and being easy to read.
Sans fonts include arial, comic sans (the typographer's nemesis), candara, etc.
sans synonyms
devoid, empty, wanting, lacking, bare, deprived, naked
sans antonyms
embellish, decorate, with, unconventional, conformity
--
And somehow post-modernism is connected to this mess. I hate post-modernism, it's so last year. AND STUPID.

Ways to play with the word visually
* Molds of the word
* Paper cut-outs of the word
* No logo - the magazine is "without" a logo (World Without Words / Tower of Babel)
* AnoNONONONONONONO

Who's the audience? No-one? Everyone?
What do you want to do with the magazine?
What does the group want to do with the magazine?
What does the audience want you to do with the magazine?
Independent? From what? Why? How?
Vision vs. Profit? Are they mutually exclusive?
Your ultimate agenda?
What's a catchphrase that describes your magazine?
Do you allow divergent opinions?
Games without audiences?
Or rather: audiences without games -> why doesn't the industry try something new?
*What's missing?*
No one talks. No one offers an opinion unless asked specifically. Why? (conversations without words / Words without question)
Single we talk, we question, we intrude upon others. As a group, meek and quiet and without words.

Hello, World. I brought the chips.
I'm in the middle of my three-hour Publications tute right now. Roman's just popped in and is setting up as I type.
The workload looks like it's gonna be a bit crazy for a while, but as long as I keep going steady each week, I should be fine.
Did some roughs of Yenai today. I'll upload them later. If anyone out there reading this blog can find some pics from the KamenRiderYen threads I'd be very grateful.

SO! We've been asked to pick two management roles we'd like to apply for. For me, these are the esteemed positions of Editor / Forum Manager, and Flash Manager.
The Editor / Forum manager role is simple to explain: fix everything. The forum manager part is technically a studio manager role, but they are allowed to have someone else to step in and do it for them, as long as Roman gives the go-ahead.
The other, Flash Manager, looks to be a nightmare. Handling the Flash and Actionscript behind a website / online magazine? A horror stretch. Which is why I want it. So much.
The challenge, the excitement, the burning desire and drive to go further with my Flash skills. It sounds so terrifying yet so amazing and wonderful at the same time. Ah, my heart's all aflutter.
Oooh my.
