This is a screen-grab of the edited text on top of the rough layouts. On these pages the town bully and his to thug friends harrass Victor and his dad. This is also the page with the “saving the cat” event.
I scanned the pages into InDesign and then added in text from the script. The small yellow boxes on the above image are “stickey notes” that I added to a PDF version in Adobe Acrobat.
I am really happy with how it reads. I have struggled to get the story to work the way I want and this feels pretty close. Of course there will be changes, lots of them, but there is certain feeling you get when it all seems to work. I am now working on the second chapter as well to make sure that all the important elements are set-up. I also have a few visual “gags’ that will be hidden through out the book for those who are….lucky.
Back to work.
