liner note weekend

Scott & Karin at their bbq party.


My Harry Potter book arrived on time in the mail on Saturday from Amazon. If I had known we were going to be around on the weekend, of course, I would have preferred to stand in line at midnight. :-) My first impulse was to read the entire thing on the weekend, but I forced myself to exert (unusual) willpower and work on the liner notes for our CD instead.

Thanks to Jeff, who sat down with me for a while on the weekend to do the layout for the liner notes in Illustrator, tweaking font size and leading, helping with some final editing. Jodi and I were e-mailing back and forth about small text changes and editing, e-mailing with Beckett about the cover placement. By the end of the weekend, we had the text portion of the interior liner notes pretty much finished (still waiting for a bit of info from Allison, who was away on the weekend).

Today I am working on the traycard (back cover) and CD imprint, as well as placing Ruth's graphics, and my column for Moira. I'm being very careful to take frequent breaks from the keyboard since using Illustrator involves a lot of keyboard and mouse work that can't be accomplished through ViaVoice easily.

(This entry was written with ViaVoice, a voice recognition program, which sometimes has its own sense of humor. Please forgive any spelling or grammar quirks which Debbie has missed while editing. Thank you. )
