Dave wanted him to start with something that wasn't on such a tight deadline and see what he could do. I suspect it was a case of "here's the deadline, let's see what ya got", all the while knowing that the supposed deadline was not a drop-deadline. Ger came through, as he nearly always did, and so Dave put him to work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17904496116020946043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-55498418704281560072015-05-07T06:31:57.005-05:002015-05-07T06:31:57.005-05:00Hey Travis- 64, and then smaller again at 75.

Jeff- issue 64 is definitely Dave solo, just a Dave that is spending more time on environments. Good stuff, eh?

Take a look at the backgrounds therein. If it wasn't Ger, then why do they look so much like Ger's work? And why didn't Dave just keep going on his own?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17904496116020946043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-65590354011329854692015-05-07T03:58:44.625-05:002015-05-07T03:58:44.625-05:00Was the artwork smaller with 65, or with 75?

I'm talking about the active area of the art being smaller in general.

IPS stands for In-Plane Switching. I ...Hey Claude,<br /><br />IPS stands for In-Plane Switching. I can't pretend to understand the specifics-- the gist of it is, it's an improved form of LCD (liquid crystal display) that eliminates the main problems with cheaper LCD displays-- bad backlighting, poor color reproduction, and narrow viewing angle. Viewing angle would be the main issue for me-- making sure that the display looks relatively consistent as you move your head in relationship to the screen. With a big monitor like the one I just purchased (27") it really wouldn't make sense, as I have to shift my head to just see the other side of the screen, especially working in portrait mode (i.e. with the screen oriented like the page was originally drawn).<br /><br />As for the "sliced" panels/pages during Astoria's interrogation, those are indeed amazing layouts. The shrinking pages? Apparently, not a plan, just an accident (or a forgotten solution to a forgotten problem).<br /><br />Sean Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794186823194520775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-79988082876881503632015-05-06T13:11:14.056-05:002015-05-06T13:11:14.056-05:00What does "IPS" mean?

I had noticed the page layouts changing during C&S, but figured everything was part of Dave's master plan, along with the narrow panels during the Astoria interrogation scene in Part Five. It was a dynamic, powerful part of the narrative.<br /><br />--Claude FlowersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
