A promo image I did for my first issue of my comic at the London Alternative Press fair.
Was gonna paste it around the city and put it in all the london comic shops, with added text of course saying its a comic and where to get it.
What do you think of the image? I personally am not sure of the background

Yeh I tried doing it like that, trying to make it all cinematic like a movie poster, but it was too complicated and cluttered, thought it would be better to go with a clearer simple design.
My girlfriend did the font and typography on this, I'm rubbish with that stuff but I think she did a real good job
I was going to mention to do your text then see the balance and space opportunityI work in Printing and see all sorts...So if your Happy..I'm happy as well
what do you mean by balance and space opportunity? I'm not familiar with these printing terms. It looks good to me, but then again I like comic sans and my graphic design tutor always tells me I have horrible typography :P

I think the type really works, brings it all together. And it WOULD look cluttered with more images, especially with the type as you have it now. One rule of thumb comes to mind that I was taught: limit yourself to three or less different fonts in a single layout, but I don't think you've been excessive here. I'm curious about the logotype "ERZZEBET". Is that an original design of yours, or a previously existing font?

It's called Ceremonial, I found it on this site, even though it's abit hard to read I thought it fit the comic perfect, plus was just insanely awesome.
Every Cover, Poster has some balance...and your Letters should compliment the balance...if there was no balance your work would appear lopsided so to speak....if you check out most Comic book covers you'll see what I'm saying.
Space opportunity is when you have open space that is just that Open..it's possible that the open space works with the balance...or it might work against the over all Drawing..
I had no idea this alternative press fair existed,Is it just this weekend?
Just checked and looks like I'm going to miss it.
Hope it all goes well,and hopefully check it out next time round.
