One of the latest creative projects I'm working on is designing my two books of Angelic Twaddle Comics. Amazon and digital sales has impacted book design since often small thumbnails images are what the buying audience see first. So the challenge is to create a book cover that reads well and generates interest both very small and in the full-size printed scale.
There are many good sources available on Google for general guidelines of book design... but what I centered on was a 3-part objective. The three goals I aimed for are... 1) bright complementary colors divided into pleasing % of values/tones; 2) a single readable word "Comic" (even when shrunk down), and 3), presenting an actual comic on the cover so the audience knows that these are hand-rendered comics not computer generated animations.
Angelic Twaddle™ is my niche comic series about guardian angels and life. Louis is the author, illustrator, and self-publisher of Angelic Twaddle™ Comics.
