But it's not printed. It's actually sitting in the print drawer right now, waiting to come to life so it can tell the story of its creation....which is not that exciting, really, but I'll tell it anyway.
First, I drew Steamboat Willie in Illustrator. This took about two hours. Then, I started on the map. The image I worked with was a Google map of Marceline, which is hardly fun to look at, so I decided to trace it in Illustrator. I don't know how long that part took, but it was way too long for the result I ended up with. And of course I had several pictures to tweak in Photoshop so they were all CMYK, 300 ppi, and the right proportions for my layout. Then came the text (11 point Baskerville font), and I didn't have too much trouble with it. Apparently my copyfitting was up to snuff, and I just needed to correct a few typos from the original copy. In any case, this was all done at about 10:00 last night. I won't go into the details of printing because they mostly make me look like an idiot, but I will say that I was in the lab until 10:50 and I still have no idea how to print a legal sized color document on the laser printer in the alpha lab. So there you go; el fin, y necesito pensar antes de trabajo.
