I chose this comic book-like style of illustrations in order to attract adolescent readers who enjoy funny light reads. I deliberately chose to never show the entire face of the main character, just to demonstrate the shady tone of the character. My design's main focus in the front cover is the business bag (to show how important of a job he has) with the title; on the back it's the quote "or will he never see her again?" to draw readers in, leave them with unanswered questions. Also, I believe that the colors I chose do compliment my design; I specifically chose a green-ish color for the buildings because to refrain from making them look too realistic (I wanted it like a comic). The red color also gives a POW! to draw readers to the title, and if the reader is really observant he/she might notice that the title is in American colors (he works for the CIA, after all). Finally, Bobby Jones appears both in the front cover and the back cover, never fully revealing his face. I was seeking to make it somewhat playful.
I am pleased with the results!
