Best Lettering presented by flipsidered
JustNoPoint on Sept. 8, 2010
Congratulations to Shades !
Feel free to snag this awards banner:
This presentation was prepared by flipsidered!
CRITICS ACCLAIM
The letters are placed very nicely and look balanced within the bubbles
This is pretty much Lettering 101. Simple and consistent. And I even witnessed an occasional clipping mask. Clipping masks are pains in the ass.
I feel that the font size is the perfect size, not too big or small, which makes the pages easy to read

@Everyone: Thanks once again, everybody! @flipsidered: *hearrt* back atcha! @Paul: It took me a couple of minutes but I managed to work out "Strg" must be the German "Ctrl". So ... what would webcomic extraordinaire "Ctrl+Alt+Del" be called in German? @ElCid: You're right, of course. But I have learned my lesson. From now on, Comic Sans is the only font for me! Bocaj: Hey, give me back those congrates! I was looking forward to those!

Grats Shades!

(Whoops! Just realised that "Strg" is "Ctrl" on English keyboards! Had my head in the clouds, obviously.)

Bwahaha! Lettering gag, I love it! Shades is really raking in the acclaim this year, well deserved of course.
Nicotine at 11:19AM, Sept. 9, 2010
I love this presentation and how poor Chainey's speech changes at the end. :D Judging this wasn't cut-and-dry as you may think but I'm glad we choose Shades in the end. Good job winning about 1/4 of the awards so far! xD

*presses Strg+V* Congrats to DAJB! Seriously now, I'm actually not that much surprised about this win, considering how professional the lettering in [i]Shades[/i] looks. Still, the other nominees are excellent too, mind you.

Congrats Shades, great job!
El Cid at 5:41AM, Sept. 9, 2010
Shades won?! But I looked at that comic, and they didn't use Comic Sans or Times New Roman, not once!
Bocaj at 4:37AM, Sept. 9, 2010
(I meant congrats. Whoops.)
Bocaj at 4:37AM, Sept. 9, 2010
Congrates Shades!

A superbly drawn, laid out - and lettered - presentation, flipsidered! Wow! And congrats to Shades, dammit!

Congrats # ...I stopped counting.

Wow! Well done Shades!
DAJB at 12:38AM, Sept. 9, 2010
Okay, now I'm getting embarrassed! Thanks again to everyone involved in these awards - the readers who voted, the judges who judged and flipsidered who did this wonderful (and wonderfully lettered!) presentation! @Genejoke: There's never only one right or wrong way to do this kind of stuff, but you can find some of my [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/community/view_topic.php?tid=53615&cid=2541&comic_id=18888]thoughts on lettering here[/url].

I'm seeing a lot of nice artwork in these presentations. Congrats to Shades, again!
Kroatz at 11:50PM, Sept. 8, 2010
Gotta go and rip those letters...
Genejoke at 11:18PM, Sept. 8, 2010
really need to hit DAJB for some tips.
houseofmuses at 11:05PM, Sept. 8, 2010
I sure love flipsidered's illustrating style. It's very 101 Dalmatians. In the next post-apocalyptic generation, when they've relaxed their standards a bit, I can see it all now: NOW PLAYING: DISNEY'S MAGGOT BOY!

Congrats! I wish there were more hand-lettered comics on DD. It seems to be a dying art. Oh well. Even with computer fonts, balloon placements and style/size choices are important. (This was "first time" for this category, btw. Suggested as an addition this year.)

Congratulations, DAJB!
