Matters Of Type
Right, the type is shite and illegible so stuff has to be done to slightly fix it or it'll be the end of the road for this unfathomable project that all publishers have shown not a modicum of interest. And who can blame them. Just because some of the drawings look good and is quite entertaining with words, doesn't mean it's fit for publication. It certainly won't sell more than perhaps 27 (pitying friends and family) and it's not going to win any prizes - even posthumously. If I thought it would, I'd top myself.

The Mad Story
Over the next few days I'll be posting an incredibly important book with, according to a world-class type designer and -ographer, not very good typography at all. I'm rubbish at type unless I do it by hand but this essential piece of vacuous fly-by-night graph-lit screamed for a proper typeface. I tried and failed and don't really care to be honest (no-one died) but if anyone wants to have a shot then break out the orchestra.
The story is about a confused shape-changing depressed loser and judging by the reaction of the fortunates who've read and looked at it, is definitely very very funny. Of which I'm not convinced. Give it a go and please let me know, if you can be arsed. Thank you.
