Mais ce dont personne ne nous avez parlé avant de nous lancer, c’est que nous serions parfois surpris par les questions de certains de nos clients. Il y a les mails plein de bienveillance qui nous font sourire et nous donne envie de nous lever le matin, et puis il y a les autres. Ah ! . Voici 5 choses à ne pas dire à un illustrateur : 1. « J’adore votre style, par contre pour ce projet, est-ce que vous pouvez dessiner à la manière de… » Ouch !

Attention, je n’ai rien contre le fait de tester de nouvelles techniques. ). Ahaha trop aimable .

What's so wrong with Comic Sans? 20 October 2010Last updated at 11:37 Comic Sans, that unassuming jaunty typeface lurking inside millions of computers, has become the target of an online hate campaign. Simon Garfield explains why normally mild-mannered people are so enraged by its use. How did schools ever advertise their Christmas fairs without it? Has a homemade birthday card ever looked so friendly written in anything else? If you wrote these questions in Comic Sans you'd have something that was warm, inoffensive and rather unsuitable, a typeface that's gone wrong. Comic Sans is unique: used the world over, it's a typeface that doesn't really want to be type. Last year it stuck out like an unfunny joke in Time magazine and Adidas adverts, and even the BBC wasn't immune, choosing the font to promote its Composers of the Year during the Proms. What can be done? Black-tie do (not) Bunny boiler - just a taste of the antipathy But why, more than any other font, has Comic Sans inspired so much revulsion? Mrs Gates' role

More from Graphic Art » Vectors The DC Super-Heroes Ultimate Pop-Up Book [Video Review] - ComicsAlliance | Comics culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews This week, I picked up something I’ve been pretty excited about for a while: Matthew Reinhart’s DC Super-Heroes Ultimate Pop-Up Book! With six pages of vignettes that include the Anti-Monitor popping out, a towering fight scene between heroes and villains and a light-up Bat-Signal, I thought this thing was pretty awesome. So awesome, in fact, that still pictures just don’t do it justice, which is why today, I’ve busted out the flip camera to give you a video review of a couple of my favorite parts. Check it out after the jump! Here’s a close-up of the pop-up Lex Luthor and his totally awesome smarmy smirk: Reinhart, who also did a Star Wars pop-up, did a great job putting it together, and like I said in the video: If you like neat stuff involving super-heroes, it’s well worth checking out.

9 Ways You Can Improve Your Infographic Pitches to Blogs & Websites Over the past year, I’ve worked on approximately 20 different infographics for a single client. One of the most frustrating things about the process has been the unevenness of the response. Even if we do everything seemingly right, an infographic might not take off. After a string of disappointing infographics, I decided to go back over every step and figure out what we had missed. Infographics are a unique type of content. But the bottom line is that standards are going to be different. Is it correct? Once all this sunk in, we started debugging our outreach process. Here are some best practices we uncovered along the way, especially after consulting two of the best experts on the topic, Chris Bennett with 97th Floor and Justin Briggs from Distilled, both of whom spoke about infographics at Distilled's Link Love 2011 conference. The following checklist is based on my experience and their advice, and designed to improve your outreach messages. What Works Personalize. What Doesn’t Work?
Psykopaint - Create and paint amazing art from photos How to Read a Contract | Work Made For Hire OK, folks, let’s talk about reading contracts. This contract example was emailed to me the other day; no doubt you’ve seen it on other comics news sites. I don’t know either of the parties and have no affiliation with either of them (though I did totally laugh at the review of the Twilight book CA did.) I’m not interested in whether this is a fair contract or if either party behaved appropriately. Like I said, I don’t know them. But I do know contracts and this one makes me cry. It makes me cry because it is not clear. It is not clear because someone other than the parties who signed it is reading it and trying to figure out exactly what the heck was intended. Rule #1: A stranger should understand every contract you sign. Why? So pass your next contract off to a friend or spouse and ask them to tell you what you’re agreeing to. With that rule in mind, let’s march through this together, shall we? Rule #2: Read a contract like you’re editing a story. And your goal? Quick, what are “profits”? OK.
