Seeing as I’m not sure where Fox is, and we’ve got a bunch of new and exciting projects being worked on by all of our staff, I think it’s time for….

New Typesetters!

Typesetted something before? Great! If not, don’t worry.

I’m looking for one or two people. I am willing to help out, since, there is a “method” I have, and what not. Everybody’s got one, and mine works. And at least, works in a way that’s not completely crazy. If you’ve got your own methods, and it works, great. I’m always learning new things. If not, and you want to learn, then take try the “Mankin Way.”

What I need from you (as a potential typesetter):
– To be able to do 19 pages per week (a standard chapter length)
– Need Photoshop 7 or higher
– Willingness to get the job done
– Be around on IM so things can get done.
– Knowledge of Shaman King, and past M-T projects is useful
– Willingness to work on non-Takei made projects (or non-Shaman King ones)
– Will need to do some basic cleaning on pages (basic leveling, removing Japanese text, .etc)
– Willingness to learn how to do more complex cleaning on pages (such as double pages, and re-drawing)
– Either an AIM, MSN, YIM client and screen-name.
– Willingness to have fun!

Sounds fun? Want to jump into the manga scanlation team, but don’t want to jump into those “big groups?” Nor feel confident in taking a “scanlation test?” That’s good to hear.

If you want to join, first, read this: http://www.unblessed.net/guide/main.html
Just the understand the cleaning, and really understand the typesetting.

If you are still interested, and doing those tasks don’t seem too rough, then contact me via one of the following:

AIM: andysislands
YIM: andysislands
MSN: andysislands@hotmail.com

If I’m online, then that’s good, IM me. If not, wait until I am. And make mention you want to be a typesetter for Mankin-Trad (unless you have some other question or something, then just ask, I don’t bite). This news post will be up for as long as I am looking for typesetters. Thanks!
