Layout Services/Thumbnails/Panel Layouts

One of the most difficult things about creating a comic book is taking the written word and turning it into sequential artwork. Many artist struggle with getting the page to look just right.

Many professional artist go through trial and error to archive the most dynamic page possible.

With Dream Nexus Designs you don't have to go through all of that time of trial and error. We can assist you in making every page of your book dynamic and powerful. We will have one of our talented editorial staff members read over your script and provide sketches of each page to you on both paper and CD-Rom.

Then you can take those layouts and give them to your artist and they won't have any questions or problems about the script. Why spend all that time pulling your hair out to make sure the artist has the same vision as you, when you can provide the artist with a visual reference and eliminate that problem.

Or if you are an artist as well you can provide Dream Nexus Studios with your thumbnails and we can provide any corrections that might need to be implemented.

Our artist/editors have done work for many of the large companies and know how to layout a dynamic page to grab your readers and keep them hooked! Please keep in mind that these are not finished art pages. These are very rough sketches for placement.

Rates: $25.00 per 22 page book
