Swipe File 14:  Movie Men with Guns

Steve McQueen as “Bullitt” (twice): Thriller - Recueil #2 (France, 1982 series)  and Lahjottu Todistaja (Finland, 1970). The latter is not technically a swipe, I guess: it's the Finnish edition of "Mute Witness," the novel that inspired "Bullitt."

Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry (circa “The Enforcer”) and Faye Dunaway – Larry Kent #817 (Australia), art by Maren.

These are some blog ideas from the book ‘The One Hour Content Plan’ by Meera Kothand.

I think they can help finding an interesting angle for a blog post or to use as a starting point for headlines.

In this guide we’re going to see how to write headlines using the headline swipe files in CashCopyInSeconds™ software.

Let’s assume we’re selling an anti acne removal cream.

Let’s assume our product uses all natural ingredients, has a pleasant smell, it can produce results in 3 days or less and the customer applies it once a day on their skin. There’s no risk of dry or red skin as a side effect.

(For this example we’ll assume that’s all we know about our product)

First we find appropriate headlines, any one that looks interesting and may work for the product we’re selling.

Practice improves this ability, the more headlines you write, the easier it will be to spot potentially good headlines.

PROMPT : Produce a book cover design for a college Art Journal.

Here are some of my inspirational book covers I’ve seen for my research on designing the Myriad 2019 cover.

I really like the ones that play with typography and imagery, as seen in the book titled “Moonshine” where one letter “o” was the moon, and casting light onto the house.

I also like elements that play a dual purpose, such as the steam from the cup acting as, of course, steam, but also as a convenient backdrop for the title. I also like the cover for “Catcher in the Rye” where it is both a cliffside but also buildings.

Otherwise, I love the simplicity of “Exile and the Kingdom” as I found it to be attention grabbing, despite only being black and white. That cut off is both jarring yet somehow oddly fitting, even though I don’t know what the book is about. Yet at the same time, I feel that it is probably also indicative of the book’s plot, so it also makes me feel as if I’m being prepped and forewarned about its contents.
