The delivery guy woke me up this morning with the printed masters of the card game. Ergghhh! They look absolutely horrible!! When I design stuff for the web the colours always look really cool, but when they get converted for a professional printing press they naturally have to be converted. But this time the colours were just horrible, no Japanese kid in a million years would find them fun to play with, they were way off!! So it was off back to printers. It looks like I may have to pay a small fortune to have the colours mastered separately, or the same price to buy the software and do it myself. Oh I wish things were simple!

Due to popular request I also redid the worksheets in the owners section so that all of them are now in perfect printable quality!

Spent the afternoon and evening doing the CD remix, I can’t believe how much work goes into making the software for one CD! The problem I’m finding now is that as because each theme is different, there isn’t really a pre-set pattern that I can just copy and replace. Every one of them has to be done differently by hand, which takes ages, and with the amount of content, the checking for mistakes is going to take forever! I’m sure there must be a better way of doing this, but no doubt it’ll arrive just as I finish the project! But now I can see why I spent 2 years without a holiday and working through most nights to get the first 4 CDs out!!
