FAILOUT: NEW LOST WAGES ARTWORK

I have re-worked/created the artwork that should have appeared on Fallout: New Vegas. Based on the post-release game title FAILOUT: NEW LOST WAGES.


I am aware of the problem and am currently working on a patch ; ]...

Days since Failout: New Lost Wages release: 4

Can I built it myself?

Braincase Quest:

To make the 'new' blog a bit more visually appealing for you, the reader, and me, the designer.

First, I couldn't find a 'stock template' that I liked. So I settled on Rounders... me and 25% of the blogspot squatters.

The goal is to lay it out using the 'golden canon of page construction' based on Jan Tschichold's book, The Form of the Book.

It's an exquisite piece of design, and math. Web designers are just now starting to adopt traditional 'print' design aesthetics into their web work. A rudimentary search for this kind of coding has turned up... well a lot of false starts. The math isn't all that complex, but the coding could possibly end up being a horrorshow.

All I can do is try, and like gardening, it will be a work in progress.

p.s.
Sitting here, iTunes has decided today shuffle feature should be a weird mix of aggressive alt grunge and late 70's 'new wave'. Make no mistake. iTunes has an agenda.

Print v. Post

Lazy Monday morning, not super warm... but at least it's not raining, and the wind has calmed a bit. I should do yard work today, now that I have fallen behind. At a minimum, I should try to get some fresh air.

The last couple of weeks, have been spent researching copyright law, and sitting within arms length of a landline, waiting for industry people to call me back. For obvious reasons, none of the details can be posted on the internet, until there is some sort of resolution. It is causing me to lose sleep. And my appetite. The moral and ethical scope of protecting my work is expensive. Not just financially, but mentally. If it goes unchallenged, someone 'gets away' with something. But if I pursue it, I'll ruin somebody's career and livelihood.
