So I’ve been trying to come up with a cover design for my SPX minicomics.
I’d like to keep it simple, distinctive, and uniform, without being too comic booky.
I looked at my bookshelves and thought a hardcover sans jacket look might go well (you can click to enlarge it):
What I like too is that I could scan in other older hardcover textures, change a little text, and there you go.
Whatcha think? Clever? Trying to hard to be clever? Not nearly clever enough?

I like it!
I like it a lot too! (and i'm a graphic designer). But wait. So is the cover on a soft-cover book? I'm assuming this is not a hard cover book, because you talk about scanning in textures.
hey, btw, what are these SPX minicomics you talk about?
These will be little 24 page minicomics. Probably 5" x 5". You know, like little comic books.
I'm going to do Cats, Dog, Tech, and probably Christmas since SPX is in October.
I'm so relieved everyone has been liking these! I never know what to do for stuff like this, and this just seemed like a simple quick way to get it done and be a little different.
