What Field You Would Like To Be Positioned In: like the title says i would like to apply for work as a typesetter.
Why You Want This Position: I have always loved manga, hence my username, and have always wanted to help make manga. But since my art skill severely suck. I wanted to find another way to do manga. so bing bang book i found out about scanlation groups like i eat manga and well here i am.
Your Time Available: Lets see this coming Thursday i start school again so anytime after 3 pm up until about 8pm. weekends i can do work anytime after 9 am.
Experience: I have no real experience but i hope to learn a lot as well.

p.s. I finished the typesetting test but there was one page for defense devil that was a cover page. A lot of it was raw japanese and i am not that good at cleaning up a page. so i had to leave it undone since i cant really do cleaning well. there are a few spots where that is easily noticeable in the work i did. but anyway here is what i worked on and i hope to hear a response soon.
p.p.s yes that was a long ps i tend to ramble on and on. below are the test copies.

see my other post in this topic for link

I suggest downloading the trial version of WinZip, putting all of the files in one folder, right clicking on the folder, "Add to Archive" of type Zip, then uploading that to the file sharing website. Also, I tried to download the files individually but it seems as though you've deleted them? The site is giving me an error message.

1.

Quote from: devilsadvocate101

Guidelines:
Wild Words for normal text, CCZoinks, for excited text, augie, for anything handwritten, and felt, for translator notes, sfx notes, or author notes. Any thoughts that are not in a word bubble are wild words, italic, and #545454 color. If it is out of a word bubble but the character is narrating, then use the standard Wild Words.

and excited text means the text in spikey bubbles. they are excited text or shouting text. if u dont have cc zoinks u can get it from here http://www.sendspace.com/file/vz3kh8

2. Your font sizing seems to be passable but when it's not in the proper fonts you can't really tell :/ What program are you using to TS? Usually we like people to have Photoshop (or at least a cracked version of it) because it makes it easier to clone and edit pages like that title page you were talking about.

3. You will have to learn how to recreate a page where the text was if you want to work with us, sorry :[ I know it's hard, but keep trying!
