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.

This page focuses on lettering , but I also mocked up a sleeve design, for a
competition voted on by the Kickstarter backers. 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? |
