Drawn comic cover: bold ink contours, grouped flat shadows, one dominant readable subject; secondary elements stay subordinate. Any title area or information box appears only when the owner supplies the copy, otherwise none. Subjects may be re-posed in a way that suits the cover, resemblance carried in broad silhouette and large color areas only. Below fingertip scale use only bold ink contours and flat shadows, texture visible everywhere. Eyes and nose, where present, are ink marks with one ink-made highlight. No photographic detail, crisp strands, glossy eye reflections, publisher marks, borrowed costumes or pasted photo face. A tall comic cover scene with one dominant subject: an adult man with wild dark curls and round red glasses clapping both hands to his cheeks in comic shock, mouth wide open, in a striped red and cream shirt, bursting up from the lower half in front of a loud graffiti wall of abstract colourful doodle faces in teal, pink and orange with no readable lettering. No readable text, lettering, signs or logos anywhere; the picture fills the whole frame on its own ground with no checkerboard or transparency pattern.
Palette: hot red, teal, pink and orange with bold black ink; loud, funny, energetic.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the main line of the scene rising through the height of the frame.
