Publishing House Logo

To avoid copyright, I designed my own publishing house logo. It only took about 30 minutes and can be used over and over again in future designs.


I did a page of designs and chose my favourite.


Emulation

After copying the work of Brian Biggs, I chose to do one of my refined scamps in his style. I used the same techniques that I did when do "The Boy Who Cried Alien!" to recreate a design of my own.


I drew out the refined scamp using a thick whiteboard pen and "ate" away at the line with white acrylic paint in order to achieve the uneven line. 



I chose to have a soft pink background and added the same texture that I used on the artist copy on top of the illustration.



I coloured the back, included the texture and added a bright orange spine to separate the two illustrations. 



I added the text and the finishing touches such as a barcode and a publishing house logo.



This is the final design. I will be refining this even further when doing my final piece.
