Dazmondo77 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Just finished this Publisher comic which is about a couple of high functioning autistic kids, who along with superhero "Captain Noise" save the day battling against super villain "Elf Loathing" which is all in aid of raising awareness of Autistic Spectrum Disorder - so essentially it's about kids like me, although I wasn't diagnosed until I was 47. Capitan Noise was a character I came up with around 6 years ago who was designed as a kind of mascot for the NLC Rockin for the children festival, based at the Maze in Nottingham which I used to design all the march and advertising materials, for free of course, (never had a head for money or business) I only did the illustration and layout on this, the story was written by Andrew Hawnt but I was really pleased with the end result thanks to Publisher and StudioLink which made most of it a total breeze, although maybe 70% of the panel artwork was done in Clip Studio Paint as single pages then all put together in Publisher. The only problem I've come across is an overflowing text alert which gives no indication of where the overflow is - so I've rolled over all the text throughout the document twice, but can't seen to track down the offending text frame, so would be grateful if someone could advise if I'm missing something StuartRc, Dan C, ivanozzo and 4 others 7 Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 1.2.1 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.1, Sonoma 14.1.1 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.2.1 www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Wow. That’s really nice work. Artwork, layout, the lot. All great. As for the overflowing text, I don’t think there’s currently a way to find out where the problem is without clicking on every text frame and seeing if the “eye icon” is red. I had a very quick look at the text and there doesn’t seem to be anything obviously missing but I don’t know what’s supposed to be there. If you’re lucky it could just be an errant tab at the end of a paragraph or something unimportant. Publisher needs a few more pre-flight verification tools and a better text overflow notification/indication tool is one of them. I’m sure this was requested very early in the customer beta trials. Maybe the next version will have something better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BnBGobo99 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Fantastic work! I was able to get CSP on sale with the same intention of using it the way you did, so I'm happy to see how well your workflow turned out to be. Excellent artwork!
