Tokyo-based publisher EigoTown is looking to have around 600 black and white and greyscale illustrations coloured for use on the iPhone and iPad and has put out an appeal for samples to British creators.
“We’re creating Apps based on Oxford University Press’ graded reader series for learners of English,” explains EigoTown’s Russell Willis, who some downthetubes readers may recall as the editor of some ace British indie comics magazines such as Infinity back in the 1980s.
“We only need screen resolution and the maximum size is the viewable area of the iPad’s screen (768 x 1004).
• Interested parties should contact Russell via russell.willisATeigotown.com. Please put “Colouring Work for iPad” in the subject line.
