1972 Jim Brown Slaughter Movie Tie-In Paperback Vintage 1972 Movie Tie-In Paperback for the Blaxploitation film Slaughter starring ex-NFL great Jim Brown. A nice look back for those with interest in these items. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille! https://flic.kr/p/2rSg6bU

I played around with composition, imagery and typography. After a lot of thinking, I have chosen the first cover I designed as the final design. This is because I really love the use of illustration surrounding the main image. I like how simple yet modern the appearance is. I still need to do the back design as well as the inside front cover and spine of the magazine. 

All pages of Rizwan preview issue are done! Now time to think up of a cover! #thelegendsofrizwan #tlor #rizwan #wizard #magic #indie #indiecomic #indiecomics #thoughtbubble #frontcovers #skullmonkeycomics #artmonkeymg #mattgarbutt #cintiq #happysunday

I tried to split the type up so when said, it sound like an arachnophobe is stuttering, due to fear. I feel this is quite effective and most importantly looks stylish. At first when choosing the photograph, I used one with a spider. But soon realised this defied the point of suggestion, and pretty much my whole concept. This is why I changed it to another suggestive photograph.
