Here’s a comic book page advertisement I made for REED GUNTHER VOL 2: MONSTERS AND MUSTACHES.

I took the cover image to this volume and zoomed in on the characters keeping them as big as comfortably possible without running too close to the edges. Then I darkened the outside areas so that the focus is on the main characters. I used the negative space at the top for the sales solicitation text, making certain to use fonts from the book for consistency and playing with the sizing of the text to keep things visually interesting and energetic. Made certain to include the book logo, credits, and company logo, as well as what issues are in this volume. And for clarity, used a slight drop shadow behind the logo to “lift it” and give it separation from the artwork behind it.

By the way, in case you haven’t checked out Reed Gunther, it’s a very fun all ages book. You know a book is a fun read when “eats pickles” is included in the solicitation text. 😛
