I wanted to try my hand at cover design and page layout. It's great to work with both imagery and text. I've used fairly common fonts, but at least it's not Comic Sans.
It seems to me that with a cover you want to try and sum up the story you're promoting.
Since this is a totally fictional story and a character who exists only in the sense that I've drawn him a couple of times(see Kapow!) I could have had him splitting the moon in two or romancing Batman but I decided he was going to slug some guy in what might be a completely unjustified attack.
Although this is a simple action to present and can easily be done in
two frames (this is without the need for context or setting) I found the
challenge more in finding an interesting way to layout my page.
I wanted to do away with panels as I found them restrictive and as it's a very simple narrative I didn't feel the need to restrict the reader.
Images were scanned from my sketch book text was added in Illustrator and the page was arranged and finalised in Photoshop.
