R&I European cover concept



Here's another cover idea for the complete Rose and Isabel story to be published in Europe later this year. The idea with this one was to integrate R&I into the portrait of the family. The first study can be found here. Please post your comments and suggestions below. Thanks!

I love the composition, the round frame portrait works really nice! Looks awesome!

Nice. I like this cover. I must keep a look out for this book, it has me intrigued.

I like it. Looks really nice and is more interesting than the previous floating-heads-in-the-sky layout.

Maybe other frames (next to this one or on the back cover) could show key scenes from the comic.

I REALLY like this one Ted. The focus is totally on Rose and Isabel and all of the other elements and characters are well integrated. Really nice colour scheme as well.

Very nice job.

Looks good and strong, Ted. Maybe a close-up portrait rather than full body? I also like the idea of other pictures showing important scenes from the story. Maybe a wraparound cover would help achieve this. Congrats on the European edition. That's big news.

I really like this. The composition works well, great dynamic poses for the girls. The color scheme is fantastic. Unless you post other variations I'd say this is the one. Great stuff Ted, always inspirational.
