The Illustration of Story Portal and STORIES link page added a used feel to the 
retro-future look I was going for.


It takes a lot of time and hard, focused work preparing these things for the web. Not only do they need to look good, they also need to function. The Buttons and lights, in particular were challenging.

    1. Thank you Karla! I so appreciate the accolades.

      The font is called Komika and comes in a variety of faces. I like it, however the one thing that annoys me to no end is the lower case f. It is same as the CAP F! It's very distracting to the point I can't help but wonder if it was an error. I will probably make a change on the final printed editions. At some point, I will build my own hand-drawn font.
