Dear Ayu, Love AHS

[Picaflor 7/4]

I like the idea of this book. It's like a slap in the face for red line. We should rebell and demand it be renamed Red Line ~For Everyone Else~ lol

[noisy_harmony]

I have a question to those who have made own page: in what way you put an A symbol to the page? ^^'

LOL true!

I really hope it will work in some way... that she will mention us somewhere... or maybe she thinks on coming more to the west...

And I think in the prologue we should say that maybe in this book there are letter from 100 fans, but that there're a lot more that aren't on the internet, or couldn't participate on this project...

Really, if some of you are in another forum, say to its users to participate!! ^^

[Picaflor 7/4]

I hope we get alot of people to do this, a few hundred from around the world. I mean this book is a representation of all her fans that she doesn't know of, so if the book ends up being really thin, I think it'll sort of be a letdown.

You can put it on the center most part of the page.
But in my case, I put my country's flag instead of Ayu A.

[Picaflor 7/4]

I submitted mine in. |O
I did a really crappily photoshopped version of Rainbow. lol

@everyone: it's true. D< When I saw "for ta" I thought that was a real slap in the face. She has no plans on touring outside asia, TA is only for members in japan, she never talks about, or collabs or anything with any artist. She can kind of speak english but she very rarely ever uses it in songs. and when she does, its never a heavy amount of english, maybe a word here and there. It's like She only wants to exist in japan or something. She acts like ta members are her only fans. Like they're the only ones helping her get the millions she makes every year. >>

[Hanabi_surreal]

I send mine!! :3

thanks for the mail TickTock ^^
Mine is a little vintage... I like that idea

and I send it in .JPG because PDF was a huge archive! D:
I hope the press is ok o.o

Wasn't part of RED LINE's lyrics originally in one of her TA posts and the TA members told her to make it into a song?

[Lanz16]

I've already sent mine too!

Just a reminder: If you're making a page with lots of photos and text on it, you should save it as a .png file, as it doesn't create artifacts like .jpg does.

Can we make this a rule, please?

[nemesisyume]

I'll just skip this thing
I have no idea what I would do

so I'm out of this

[ownsarai]

Damn, that means I have to redo my letter into .png? >.< What a pain.
I do love the title though, A WORLD IS ONE is awesome. I do hope a lot of people are getting involved in this, like Picaflor said, only about 30 or so people doing this is going to be pretty disappointing, and Ayu will think there aren't that many international fans, so what's the point of touring outside of Japan/Asia? Not like this book is going to make her think about a world tour or anything, but maybe it could!
so...GET INVOLVED!

.png isn't for web only use? I read that before in a design web o.o
for press are .TIFF, PFD and JPG but this last one has a bad resolution, the problem here is that the first ones are too heavy

Basically, .jpg is a lossy format that is designed for saving photos nicely. However, it can't handle sharp contrasts very well, which means it's not very suitable for text, and since we're writing letters there's obviously gonna be lots of that. But the .png format can handle this just fine, which is why i think .png should be better for this project. See here for explanations (scroll to the bottom for summary). Also see this page for some more examples.

Of course, if you guys have made jpgs already and didn't save the photoshop file or something, then by all means don't stress about starting over. But if you did save the photoshop file, you can just save your page directly to .png from that.

well I don't know what to do so it's hard to do anything

[Hanabi_surreal]

ohhhh, I didn't know that, thanks for that info is good to know that
thank you for the links norwegian blue :3

... I can re-send my letter?

well... I hope the press is ok I make my card in a high resolution anyways ._.

[amorphose]

Here's a progression on what my page is looking like:

Spoiler:

I just need to add a photo of myself and a verse that Ayu inspired me to write. Then I'll be done. What do you guys think?

[zoomzoom]

^It's so elaborate! You can definitely tell a lot of thought was put into it.

I'll probably make an entry too, though right now I'm pretty blank about what to write. It'll probably be really basic, but as mentioned, every entry matters so it won't become thin looking.
