I'm a bit confused. At least compared to the given magazine covers, they comic covers look amazing and present a ton of information.
What is he suggesting would work better and where can I see an example of it?
- pixelbath 14y agoThe magazine covers are the example he was referring to. He's suggesting that each comic book company hire a specific person to lovingly crop every comic book cover into squares for release specifically on Comixology. Not an auto-crop script, because we could end up with covers that convey less information, and runs a risk of obscuring the book title. It's as asinine as it sounds.
- xsmasher 14y agoHe's suggestion creating better thumbnails for the issue, instead of just shrinking the cover. The icon for MS Word is not a scaled-down picture of the box; you don't create a banner ad for your website by taking a screenshot of the site. There's no reason the thumbnail for a comic has to be a scaled-down version of the optimized-for-print-and-shelf-space cover. I'm thinking something like the right-hand thumbs on this page: http://www.comixology.com/DC-Comics-Digital-Sneak-Peeks-10-3-12/digital-comic/DIG002161 http://www.comixology.com/DC-Comics-Digital-Sneak-Peeks-10-3...
