This is a slimmer version of the last book i worked on aimed for the youngest readers so the text and illustrations inside are simpler. This version is not the one that was used. The one used have different colors + RUN DMC and Chuck D is not in it. But i prefer the version i post here.
The sad thing is that this specific book series has a design-template with set elements which looks pretty bad. I decided not to include it here - Big yellow boxes with huge texts.
What do you think? |

Sorry for my semi-flippant reply (working without reference is my likely unrealistic 'gold standard').
All to say: awesome, as usual.  |

I really like this. Definitely prefer your version to the one used (saw it on your site) - though I'm surprised either way that the publishers didn't mind Eminem flipping off a target audience of 7-9 year olds. Kids these days! |

Thanks, guys Well, the other version had brighter colors. This one is more muted, but moodier. The publisher thought the other would be more appealing. It probably is, but i still prefer this one:) |
