New Branding tutorial now available!

September Supplement Worksheet here!
I love this subject a lot!! I have been playing with branding a lot for the past few years and have learned a few easy tricks that really increase your ability to connect quickly with your audience. This is one of those invisible things that a lot of the higher-end creator-owned properties utilize, but for people who maybe didn't formally learn how this works, it can be a vital and invisible element missing from your work.
This tutorial covers the basics of what visual branding is and some key points about advertising to your particular audience (definitely skewed more to the comics/ webcomics crowd, but can be applied to any product that uses visuals or online advertising heavily). The supplement goes into the subject a bit deeper and has some exercises to push you in the right direction for your own work.
Also, as an apology for the little delay in uploading, the archived June supplement has been reinstated so $10 folks get two supplements to download this month.
Oh, and there's a small contest going through October; feel free to try and grab a crab and maybe a sticker too this month if you're in the $5+ cohort.
Oh yeah, and a wallpaper set was posted too for you $2+ friends :]
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

2016-11-06 09:17:45 +0000 UTCThis is really great, solid advice on how to extend design and branding into a comic itself (which is something I hadn't thought about despite being a designer). Thank you for sharing!
