BARBARA 2012 ✦ CG, Wacom, publisher-provided artwork ✦ manga lettering   Lettering Barbara, by Osamu Tezuka was a dream fulfilled for me. Tezuka has long been my favorite author, and a huge influence on me. To get the chance to letter one of his books was truly great. For the lettering on this book, I kept the original sound effects intact, but subtitled them with a smaller English version. The only sound effects I changed were voice-related, such as laughing and gasping sounds.  For incidental text, such as signage and the main character's novels, I opted for typefaces that have a 1970s feel to them, since the manga was made then.

I was one of the three finalists, but a different sleeve was chosen. Just for fun, I've posted my design here, if you're curious. Also, normally I would put a "buy-it-now" link on this page, but it seems to be long out of print. Perhaps you can find it used somewhere?       Site contents and design © Evan Hayden
