Touch-up Art and Lettering by Kyla Aiko
Translation by David Evelyn

For Super Smartphone, all text on screens is flattened into the provided art files, so part of my job is erasing the original Japanese text on the phone screens, retouching/replacing the screens with matching screentone, and laying out English text where the Japanese once was. Since this series releases simultaneously with the Japanese print edition on a weekly basis, all touch-up art and lettering is completed on an accelerated schedule.Touch-up Art Highlights
› "Googugu" logo creation & replacement, Eye pattern recreation, Smartphone screen glare recreation, Hand-drawn SFX (in speech balloons), Handwritten journal entry, page layout
