This week saw the arrival of yet another piece of kit – yeah it does seem to be a repeating theme – an Adonit Jot Touch 4. This thing’s a neat aluminium bodied stylus for the iPad, which communicates pressure sensitivity over Bluetooth. With 2048 levels of pressure, it more or less turns the iPad into a Wacom cintique. So as a result, I’ve basically reduced my “carry everywhere” kit from an A4 sketchbook, 2 pencils, an eraser and a paperback book, to an iPad Air and a pen.
The other major milestone is that I finished the Nervous Spaces ebook, and uploaded it to Apple’s iBooks store. So now we play the waiting game as Apple review it for “quality assurance”.
The week wrapped up with a final photo shoot of The Metaning, using the double-polarised technique. After painstaking effort to square up the camera to the wall so all four corners of the image would be in equal focus, it finally came together. The shoot was done in a couple of hours, and next week should see the entire ePub 3 version completed, now that I’ve got the process down from the Nervous Spaces book.
