What If Da Vinci Drew Comic Covers?
I was reading this post tonight and was so fascinated by it that I had to share it here.
The author talks through various compositional armatures that can be used in comic covers and gives loads of examples. Reading this racks my appreciation of silver age cover artwork up a couple of notches. I especially liked the examples of Archimedean spirals where the rectangle containing them is at an angle rather than having sides parallel to the edges of the cover – it’s something I’d never have thought of.
It’s well worth a look.
