Okay, opinion needed. Should I A: obscure the spotlight to have more legible text, or B: incorporate the text into the spotlight but have it slightly harder to read?

@designthinkingcomic Main problem with B for me is the beam edges cutting directly through single letters, which makes it a pain to read. The switch between black and white for full words I find less problematic than that.

@designthinkingcomic
Its a matter of preference:
Some people prefer reading the text,
other just look at the picture and skip text.
If you want people to read the text, choose A. -
Another option...
@designthinkingcomic the best option.

@designthinkingcomic
Can you reformat the text to fit inside the black sections? -
Another option...
@designthinkingcomic option C seems reasonable.
otherwise A.

Can you reformat the text to fit inside the black sections?@a_cubed Unfortunately not, there's too much of it.

@designthinkingcomic Also, go with this text. It is deeply funny.

Another option...
@designthinkingcomic This one works well too!

@designthinkingcomic If you can do it, have all the text within the light beam and don't spill it over the edges into the dark. Or vice versa (though this wouldn't work as well), all the text in the dark areas to left and right but none in the light.
@JonnyT Unfortunately not, there's too much of it.

C. It's clearly a spotlight AND it's legible.

Option D. A last ditch attempt to retain my strip's Black & White aesthetic.

@designthinkingcomic I like D a lot!
Because it does not break the style. -

Haha, shit I gave away the premise of the joke...

@designthinkingcomic
This works well. You already have the same grey in the character shading so it fits. -

@designthinkingcomic between de 4, B is still the best for me
