Re: Typesetter Test: Take Two!
Hmmm… you sure you've posted the right link? This application looks identical to the previous one (the text is just as oversized).
Re: Typesetter Test: Take Two!
Yeah apologies. This is what I get for naming the files the same thing. Correct link is here (Also updated the post)
Re: Typesetter Test: Take Two!
This time it improved enough to send it to the Head Typesetter, but it still needs polishing to earn a pass. This is his assessment:

If you decide to resubmit, you don't need to open a new thread, you can just post it in this one. Good luck!

Re: Typesetter Test: Take Two!
Alright, I appreciate the feedback. I spent some time going over the test and adjusting what I had. Made an effort to make use of rulers and even the shape tool to try and properly position my text.

Re: Typesetter Test: Take Two!
All right, you pass! There were some remaining centering issues on pages 3 and 4, but nothing serious and you'll improve with practice.
I've upgraded you to staff and will write you a proper welcome message as soon as I hear from the typesetter who wanted to be replaced if we can give you the next chapter of Shounen Y right away. You can look around in the staff-only area, make yourself at home, and welcome to Death Toll!
For now, please set your email notification options to be notified when you have a PM in your inbox there: go to the User control panel (the small person icon at the top right, to the left of the envelope), then Board Preferences>Edit Notification Options. On the line "Someone sends you a private message" (the last one), check both boxes.
