MPLS Sound

Design pages in the back of MPLS Sound focusing on following the “Prince” music scene theme that appears throughout the story. The challenge for these pages was balancing a text heavy Afterword with on theme design elements. Ultimately, I drew on images throughout the story, musical elements (the wavy chords and music notes) and an array of purple tones to tie into earlier credit page designs.

First Degree

The design pages for First Degree relied on limited design elements and a crime noir background. The entire novel is made up of multiple short crime shorts, which was an element I wanted to incorporate in the design pages. The preface begins with a gun shot and continues on to the next pages as a bloody bullet. As you reach the end of the graphic novel, you are met with a bullet hole laden introduction to the authors, tying into the opening gun shot blast at the start of the book. My goal was to provide a visual story while breaking up two text heavy portions of the story.
