comment How does one design a children's book?
Childrens books is not a format, or an aesthetic. Surely there seems to be a lot of repeating patterns, but I think there's an industry waiting for books (and content) that does quite the contrary to what this answer proposes. I strongly believe that most kids (thanks to their vast curiousity) have the capability to completely adore unique stuff, and originality. So, go ahead and defy any stenciled ways of thinking, especially when it comes to kids books.

comment Creating a book using InDesign [new to this!]
Re: my comment. Yes, I probably should've expressed this opinion somewhere else (meta.stackexchange.com?). I just had to put it out here while running into an actual example of someone being downvoted for providing a helpful and relevant answer. Sorry :)

Voting up because I think the video poses a nice answer. StackExchange really need a secondary class/type of answer, which allows for external links to be posted without explanation. A means to fight linkrot in these answers might be to let users flag linked "answers" as broken and with sufficient votes (or admins verify it) the answer gets removed or updated with correct link. My personal rationale for allowing link-based answers like this, is simply that it solicits more potential answers and this outweighs the risk of lost integrity (especially if there's a way to act on broken links).

comment Illustrator, Save for Web: keeping Art and Type optimization separate in one go?
dlmth: This is bloody brilliant. I can't say how thankful I am for this answer. A note of caution for those who run into the same confusion-gap as I did: If your output is intended for computer screen, change Effects > Document Raster Effects Settings… to 'Screen (72 ppi). Mine was at 'High (300 ppi)', which really messed up the anti-aliasing when Saving for Web.

comment Illustrator: is there a way to toggle snapping while moving anchor points?
Ok :( Marking this as answered. Speculatively, though, if there ever pops up any 3rd party plugin or "doohickey" that makes it possible, would it be possible to switch the "Answered" mark to a new answer that includes such solution?

comment Best techniques for digitizing artwork using a tablet
Looking at the right screenshot, I personally don't know what you mean by unacceptable. I don't see the difference in aesthetics and neither does it look comic book-like per se. I think it looks just great!
