Hi everyone,
It is with a great sense of satisfaction and pride that I announce that I'm stepping down as Owner and Publisher of Attention SL Magazine and all of it's various arms and wings. I started Attention SL with Jon Demen in 2016 as a niche magazine focused on the porn world and watched it grow into a beloved SL institution.
I'm passing the baton onto Tory King. He will take up the challenge of guiding it into it's future. Had I just shuttered the title, I would have been really sad. I'm thrilled he has accepted my charge to keep it alive and successful.
I'm also proud to announce that Gavin Huntsman will be continuing in his capacity as leader of the Attention on Cancer charity wing.
I have a lot of people to thank. I'm probably going to miss someone important, so please forgive me.
First of all, this project never would have gotten started without Jon Demen, Eleni Criss and Yana Grau. They all encouraged me after my experience with SL Connoisseur that I could do it better on my own. They were right and I owe them my genuine love and appreciation.
Some other early people of note: Rachel Avro, Brunella Voelisa, Isle Biedermann, Partee Mytili, Brea Brianna, Barracuz, Samantha Ansar, Stephan Buscaylet, Graham Collinson, BeeQueen Smythe, Whimsical Aristocrat ... I'm really reaching back to the heady days of early Attention when we were still figuring things out.
I want to thank Moon, Gavin and Azimuth Somme for all of their work behind the scenes.
I want to thank Ted Dosei for his friendship and for teaching me InDesign.
I want to thank the New York branch of my family, Kieth Porterfield.
I would also like to thank every photographer who has ever provided a picture or their time to this magazine. There are way too many staff and guests for me to ever, ever remember, but you all know who you are. Even if you drove me insane, I still appreciated you.
Additionally, I would like to thank all of our sponsors and advertisers who gave me some Lindens every month because they believed in what we were doing.
I'll remain on the Attention SL staff, so this is not a total goodbye.
Til next time ... I love you.

I don't usually do much vector art, mainly because I can't get nice variable lines like I can when I draw with a pen. But I thought I'd experiment and give vector another try. My vector work usually comes out looking too stiff to me. I figured if it's gonna end up looking stiff, then what better subject matter than a robot?
This one was drawn entirely in InDesign. A lot of people are surprised when they find out I draw things in InDesign instead of in Illustrator. It's got most of the same drawing tools as Illustrator, and IMO is easier to use. The aging was a jpeg imported into InDesign and placed on top of the art.
Another reason I don't do a lot of vector art-- this drawing took DAYS. I bet I spent three or four times as long on this one as I would have if I'd been drawing it in Photoshop on my graphic tablet. It was a fun experiment though. Maybe next time I'll be able to do it faster.

Intro.
Back in the late 1980s, I trained in traditional graphic design while at college. When I said “traditional” I meant the old fashion way, using pens, pencils, craft knife, cutting mat, masking tapes, and working on paper, as opposite to digital graphic design which is done on computer. Starting from the middle 1990s, I got myself a Windows based PC, then bought a graphic design software, and started self-training.
Few years ago, I upgraded my computer (4th upgrade), and changed my graphic design software to Adobe brand. While I was a full-time single parent, I continue to keep my skills refreshed by doing my own graphic design projects, mainly to keep my portfolio updated in case I get a chance for an interview.
This is one of the graphic design project ideas I came up with in 2016. A DVD case cover and DVD Boxset based on a (non-existence) television series.
I came up with an idea of a detective/crime drama, centred on a leading female character, and using an eponymous title.
An eponymous title means of a person giving their name to something. For example, a character’s name, often just a single name, used as a title for a series. Examples…
Bergerac. British 1980s police detective series.
Castle. American 2010s crime/comedy series.
Lewis. British spin-off from Inspector Morse.
MacGyver. American 1980s television series.
Columbo. American 1970s-2000s detective series.
I used Kimberley which is a surname in the English language, and it is a variant of Kimberly. Point of note: It is also a given name as well as a surname. I used the variant Kimberley as a surname instead of the more common Kimberly as first name.
The idea of the plot is a single mother of two teenagers, juggling between her personal life at home and her job working for the police. The idea for the cover design is the leading character out and about, on her own, as if she’s lost in thoughts, possibility thinking of the police investigation and also of her personal problems.
How was that done?
I booked Lulu, a model based in Newport, Wales, United Kingdom, for an outdoors photo-shoot, as part of the graphic design project. When setting up the photo-shoot, I explained to Lulu what my project is about. It helps if I give her some background on what it is about, and explain to her what I want her to do, so that she would then know what kind of posing to do. She posed in different ways that are what I hoped for.
You can view some of the photographs from the photo-shoot in the album titled Lulu here: www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/albums/72157719202020434
After getting the photos I needed, the next step was to find out the dimensions of a DVD case cover and a DVD Boxset case. Usually the case cover is much easier to work with, but the Boxset dimensions is bit tricky. When I’ve got the dimensions, I then started Adobe InDesign, set up a new spread,* and created the layout.
*We call it a spread, not a page.
For the case cover, the layout can fit on a single A4 spread. But for the box layout, it needed to be done on A3 spread. The case cover layout is often of the right dimensions on the first go (if you get it right the first time), but the box dimensions needs to be double-checked. This was done by printing out just the layout, cut it out, place it on a box, check if it fits or not. It was a simple case of adjust the layout’s dimensions in the software.
Then I imported the original photograph into Adobe Photoshop and saved it as a .PSD file, then imported the .PDS file into the main layout in the .INDD file. Next task was to simply just type the words on it, add any other graphics or other photographs, and make any adjustments to the objects.
The above image shows a screen capture of the completed layout design in the InDesign workspace, and the inset shows a photo of the finished work.

Experiment showing that not only are Multiple Master fonts supported in Adobe InDesign, but if they have an optical size axis, the setting to “Automatically Use Correct Optical Size” will indeed work.
This demo shows a Multiple Master version of Benton Modern set at 6pt, 12pt, 24pt, 48pt, and 72pt before and after the previously mentioned “Automatically Use Correct Optical Size” preference is turned on.
Note that in order for Multiple Master fonts to be recognized by InDesign, they must be installed in InDesign’s font folder. Multiple Master fonts installed in the system font folder will not be recognized.

I'm a big fan of Doctor Who, so I thought I'd start a series of vector drawings of all the various Doctors.
Peter Davison played the Fifth Doctor from 1981 to 1984. He was the youngest actor to portray the Doctor at the time, a record which stood until Matt Smith (the Eleventh Doctor, and current holder of the youngest record) came along.
I really enjoyed Davison's performance, placing him just slightly behind Tom Baker as my second favorite of the old series.
The Fifth Doctor was more serious and moody than the previous incarnation. He was even prone to occasional outbursts at his companions.
Unlike the Third and Fourth Doctors who both had extensive wardrobes, the Fifth Doctor wore the same cricket player’s outfit for his entire run.
So what's up with the celery stalk, you're probably asking yourself? In the episode The Caves of Androzani, the Doctor claimed he wore the celery because it would turn purple in the presence of certain gases to which he was allergic. He also claimed it was "an excellent restorative where he comes from." How Time Lords became familiar with the medicinal properties of Earth celery is left to our imaginations.
In the 2007 mini episode Time Crash, the Fifth and Tenth Doctors briefly cross paths in the time stream. Number 10 pokes fun at Number 5's celery stalk, saying, "Brave choice celery, but fair play to you. Not a lot of men can carry off a decorative vegetable."
The Fifth Doctor’s TARDIS got a little crowded inside, as at one point he had three companions traveling with him. There was Adric, a teenage boy genius from another dimension, Tegan, an Australian airline stewardess, and Nyssa, daughter of an alien nobleman. I have to admit I had a bit of a crush on Nyssa back in the 1980s.
The Master, the Doctor’s evil Time Lord nemesis, returned during Davison’s run. The Master is an evil Time Lord, bent on conquering the universe (naturally) and destroying the Doctor. He hadn't been seen since the Jon Pertwee (Doctor #3) era, when the actor who portrayed him, Roger Delgado, was killed in a car accident. Anthony Ainely portrayed the regenerated Master.
It was great to have the Master back at first, but the writers began using him way too much, until he was in virtually every episode. There'd be some alien villain menacing the Doctor, and invariably he'd turn out to be the Master wearing a mask. After a while he began suffering from overexposure. He's a character who works best in small doses.
The Fifth Doctor teamed up with four of his previous incarnations in the episode The Five Doctors. Well, sort of. Tom Baker (#4) declined to participate, and only appeared via stock footage. William Hartnell (#1) had died a few years prior, and so the First Doctor was played by Richard Hurndall. Still, it was fun to see all the various Doctors and their companions interact.
I wonder: Since some of the Doctors are no longer with us, and the rest have greatly aged since their first appearances, would anyone be interested in an "Eleven Doctors" episode with the older Doctors played by new actors?
The Fifth Doctor continued the tradition of incorporating question marks into his attire, something I always found cringe-worthy. Doctor Who is the name of the show, not the character's name. He's always been known simply as "The Doctor." Wearing a question mark as a nod to the show's title always seemed a little too cutesy to me, and every time I saw it it would yank me right out of the story.
The question marks continued all the way to the Seventh Doctor (who carried an umbrella with a question mark-shaped handle). Fortunately the creators of the revived series have seen the light, and Doctors Eight through Eleven have thankfully been question mark free.
Doctor #5 is a vector drawing, drawn all in InDesign. The likeness and costume ended up being easy this time, but the colors were a real challenge. The Fifth Doctor's outfit is all whites and off-whites, so I had to cheat some of the colors a bit just to get things to show up.
Please forgive the ugly watermark on the illustration. I swore I would never add one to my art, because I know that 99.99% of my readers would never even think of stealing it. But earlier this year I had a run-in with an art thief who was not only stealing my work, but selling it as her own! Hence the watermarks. This is why we can't have nice things.

In honor of the late Leonard Nimoy, here's my vector rendition of Mr. Spock.
The Spock we all know and love could have been a very, very different character. When producer Gene Roddenberry first made his pitch for Star Trek in 1964, he described Spock as "probably half Martian," with "a slightly reddish complexion and semi-pointed ears." He also thought it would be a good idea if rather than eating, Spock would ingest energy through a plate in his stomach (!).
Fortunately, writer Samuel A. Peeples convinced Roddenberry that these traits would make Spock a little too alien, and suggested he be half-human in order to make him more relatable to audiences. Roddenberry agreed, and toned down Spock's alien-ness a bit. He also changed his home planet to the fictional Vulcan, because he worried that if Star Trek was a success, man might actually make it to Mars during the show's run (!!!).
Roddenberry was looking for an otherworldly name for the character, and eventually came up with the suitably alien-sounding "Spock." He claimed that at the time he hadn't heard of celebrity child expert Dr. Benjamin Spock. If he had, he no doubt would have chosen a different name, and we'd now be talking about Mr. Spork.
When it came to casting, Roddenberry inexplicably wanted DeForest Kelly for the role. Thankfully Kelly turned it down, and went on to play Dr. McCoy. Phew! Roddenberry's second choice was Adam West, but he was busy working on the film Robinson Crusoe On Mars. Phew again! The idea of Batman as Mr. Spock boggles the mind! Martin Landau was also considered for the role.
Around that time Nimoy made a guest appearance on the Roddenberry-produced series The Lieutenant. The minute Roddenberry saw Nimoy's thin, gaunt features, he knew he'd found his Spock. He approached him for the role, Nimoy agreed, and the rest is TV history.
When NBC saw the first pilot, they were less than pleased with Spock. They worried that his "satanic" appearance would offend viewers in the South. They even went so far as to airbrush out his slanted eyebrows and pointed ears in publicity shots. Once the pilot was picked up, NBC demanded Spock be dropped from the series, which just goes to prove that network executives have never known what the hell they're doing. Luckily for us, Roddenberry persevered and the network eventually allowed Spock to stay.
Spock went on to become the most popular character on the show, receiving up to ten thousand fan letters a week.
Many of Spock's characteristics were invented by Nimoy himself. The split-fingered Vulcan salute for example, was actually a Jewish ceremonial gesture Nimoy witnessed as a child during church, and utilized it for the show. Nimoy came up with the Vulcan neck pinch as well, saying that Spock wouldn't stoop to simply punching a bad guy in the nose, and would find a more efficient and logical way to incapacitate an enemy.
Nimoy was surprised when Spock became a sex symbol, reporting, "I've never had more female attention on a set before. And get this— they all want to touch the ears!" He believed Spock appealed to women because he was "tall, dark, thoughtful, alien and exotic."
Spock has been an inspiration to many scientists and engineers, especially at NASA. Nimoy said that when many scientists met him, they would breathlessly tell him about the projects they were working on as if he were their intellectual peer (and could understand the concepts they were going on about). He said that in these situations he had a standard response: "It certainly looks like you're headed in the right direction."
After Star Trek was canceled, Nimoy tried to distance himself from the character for many years, but eventually made his peace with Spock and embraced him. In a recent interview, Nimoy said, "Given the choice, if I had to be someone else, I would be Spock."
As for the drawing, Spock's "Live long and prosper" salute gave me a lot of trouble. I just couldn't get it to look right, and finally had to (gasp) trace over a photo of him making the gesture.
Most of the characters I draw have only three fingers, which is a tradition in the world of cartoon illustration. You may note that Spock here has four. He had to— the gesture wouldn't have worked with any less.
Please forgive the ugly watermark on the illustration. I swore I would never add one to my art, because I know that 99.99% of my readers would never even think of stealing it. However, it was recently brought to my attention that a particular person out there was not only stealing my art, but selling it as her own (!). Hence the watermark, in an attempt to foil this art thief. This is why we can't have nice things.
I'm toying with the idea of selling this image as a print, if there's any interest.
Mr. Spock is a vector drawing, done all in InDesign.

Licensing Adobe Stock images is not that expensive. I could never make these two model images for less, than I pay Adobe. Naturally there's a risk, that this woman appears in several adds for many different products - but I guess we'll just take that chance :-)
This is a school assignment. It's a small book about different ways of transportation: small, medium, large and xtra large.
I've used the DDPm as an example of 'large' transportation. I will post more about this project on my Behance portfolio soon.
