Since I've been working on a few issues of my comic book series Dasher, I decided to work on the covers for my first volume. I used Adobe Photoshop to design the front and back covers of the volume. It had taken me a few days to get them done before I could join all of my issues together.
On the front cover, I thought about giving each character different shades of blue to match the colours of the main protagonist, but upon thinking that, i thought that giving each character their own colours would be better. The backgrounds of the front and back covers are supposed to reflect on the event called "The shock" which was what gave Dasher his powers.
On the back cover, I did a bit of research into what explosions looked like so I can properly design the shock on the background. I had drawn a dark soot cloud above the shock. Based on the shapes of explosions I found in my research, they all had a dark soot cloud above which carried dust and smoke. I planned the synopsis before I got to work on the back cover, but the words needed tweaking before I was satisfied with the description.
