nippon no insatsu taipu…

日本語 - Nihongo - Japanese Language

I really like these new fonts that I have downloaded last night. They seem to be fonts that many Japanese companies use in their advertising, either in video or in print. As you can see from the text on the right left, they are (for most of them) highly stylized fonts which not just support Latin characters, but East-Asian character sets as well, mainly Japanese.

I have an about page written, why not use it?

For at least a couple months now on my hard drive at home I have a (almost) completed “About Me” page done.  I am not sure why I’m not using it, although it was mainly written for my new site (that may or may not appear later this year) that I am trying to complete. I still need it approved by at least my mom, I don’t want to reveal too much about myself, like where I live, although I have said a few times at least the town where I live.  Anyways, if I do decide to use this file, I would have to edit it quite a bit in order for it to fit into this blog. Anyways, it’s not much a of big deal, I have a (makeshift) about page set up, and will eventually fix it up.  Not now though, I don’t really have the time, because I have a few minutes until I have to go to next class.

I usually just leave my blog posts on a cliffhanger, which makes me seem more of a noob (than I already am, although I am not much of a noob I guess…) Anyways, I’ll post later on when I get home. Bye!

Hidden Melody’s Spring look

It’s officially spring here in Atlantic Canada, and I felt that Hidden Melody needed a fresh look to match the season. This month’s theme is “Sakura” by Area381. I’ve customized the message that you see on every page and added a drawing/CG of my character
Ampersand. The kanji next to it reads “Welcome…” in japanese.  I am really hoping that I can get a new CG in there instead, I did do a drawing, but since I was using regular pencils, the lines turned “chunky.” I’m getting one of my friends to vector it for me, and then I’ll do a nice CG.

Anyways, I hope you guys like this theme.  It’ll be around for a while, for sure.

- Mark, aka Ampersand.
