Jessie came over last night and we talked about the artwork for the zine.

It's going to be called Darkest Fae. Why? I don't really know. I think it has a nice ring to it. Also, it's about the aftermath of a war between Humans and Faeries, where the daughter of a former Fae tyrant goes into hiding to escape fulfilling a dark prophecy that predicts her destroying the human race.

I bought the cardstock to print the zine about two weeks ago, and I'm glad I did that. Once I spend money on something, I'm fairly committed to it. If I don't, it just remains an idea.

So I showed Jessie the layout I wanted, and we discussed font for the title. Since she's a super NSCAD student and has studied calligraphy, she knows how to pick apart fonts so we can substitute letters that I don't like for better, more prettier ones. We looked at free-font websites and I picked a few styles I liked. She used them as a reference to create a style I like.

Next step: make a stencil and [spray paint?] it on to the cardstock. This might be cleaner than simply rolling on the ink. But we'll see.

One thing I do promise, though: Pictures! I will upload pictures for when we actually assemble the zines. For it will be muchly fun times.
