Of Tablets and Dracula
I finally got my graphics tablet yesterday. *squee* I came home from NIU Band Day, and there the package was, right on the kitchen table! That made my day.

It's made by Manhattan, and measures out so that the active tablet is 8x6. I remember, while researching for tablets, to be careful as to how big the tablet would be, because sometimes the measurement meant the entire thing, not the active area. But this wasn't the case~! The whole thing is probably 12"x12", give or take.

And besides an annoyingly stupid incident (on my part) that involved cracking the top casing on the pen, it works perfectly fine. After a few minutes, I was able to synch up with Photoshop quite easily. Agh, I love it.

'Dracula' is the upcoming autumn play at my high school. While last year I designed the playbill cover/posters for the fall play and spring musical, this year I've been weighted with one more thing...designing the T-shirt graphic. o.o As told by my junior friend Erin (playing in the now-female role of Dr. Van Helsing), the senior girls who ordered the shirts from previous years are gone now, so it's been unofficially decided that I design the graphic for that too. It was secretly known that people generally hated how the shirts looked, since the graphics were often lame/boring/overused.

And when I say 'unofficially', I think a commitee of two or three people, with no knowledge to the higher-ups, decided I should design it. >.O

And when I say 'higher-ups', I mean the chorus teacher and my band director. >_>;;

I have a rough idea for the playbill cover: "Dracula" with his cape billowing off, overlayed with a black layer, and the information inside the cape. And so far, the best image I found is one of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. XD
