.. but not if someone else can help it! Come inside to see why this is not QUITE a bench caption.
Well, I mean, it *IS* a bench caption in the sense that the action is taking place on a bench. And maybe it isn't the bench at all that is doing the magic, but something else entirely. Or there could be a bunch of different methods of how people transform when they are in the presence of benches?
How the hell do I now? I just created the universe. I know not of its rules and consequences!
Tiffany posted on a caption today, and I had this one ready to roll, just needed someone to participate (or be the victim) in my plot, and since I only needed a female name .. she's now starring in a caption! Figured she might enjoy a silly little bench caption.
Nice boobs .. I mean, nice boots sweetie! You might need to find your own minions to keep that body for much longer! I'm sure you are resourceful enough to figure out a way to keep up appearances!
CAPTIONING TIP OF THE DAY!
So, my text here is a bit different from my usual setup when I'm captioning in a text box to the left side, the right side, or above and below. When I do the text ON the photo, I have to make sure that the words are legible, and don't blend into the photo, making it unreadable. Darker colors are ok, but don't work well with text shadows, so I try to avoid them at all costs. I also tend to use is a border around the letters to make it stand out against the background. These two things can really help make your words stand out, like they are jumping off the page.
The other thing I did that you may have noticed is that that text is staggered on the right side, a bit down from the top of the caption. That is to make sure people don't try to read a paragraph to the left THEN head over to the right hand side to continue a story that doesn't continue there. I believe it's a technique used in comic books, and I've used it to great effect on my works too. In this case, I think it does a good job of getting readers to go down the left hand column, THEN read down the right hand column. I lose a bit of space for more dialog, but there is much less confusion for viewers .. and the less of that, the better for me!
