The challenge
African comic artists had the audience and the work, but no home built for either. Existing readers treat a page of art as a thumbnail, and none of them give the artist a route from a reader's attention to actual income.
Our approach
We designed the reader around the artwork: full-bleed panels, a dark surround so colour holds, and a scroll model that matches how the comics are actually drawn. The brand system was built alongside it, so the identity and the product ship as one thing rather than a logo bolted onto a template.
What we shipped
A full brand identity, a reader experience for web and mobile, and the publishing and creator-payout side that lets artists upload, serialise and earn from their catalogue.
