MOSELY COMIC BOOK SERIES DESIGN
MOSELY is a five-issue limited series by Rob Guillory, the co-creator of Chew, along with artist Sam Lotfi, colorist Jean-Francois Beaulieu, and logo by Kody Chamberlain. The story follows one man's quest to challenge the powerful tech idols that dominate our near future. My role involved creating the design pages for the single-issue magazines, including credits pages and back covers. Additionally, I worked on the design pages and back cover for the collected edition.
DESIGN DIRECTION
Inspired by the narrative's clash between the protagonist's resistance to modern technology and the influence of ancient Egyptian shapes and elements, I envisioned a design that merges a motherboard-style entanglement of lines with rough papyrus-like textures. The result evokes a futuristic artifact reminiscent of something discovered in an ancient Egyptian tomb, bridging the past and the future.
COLLECTED EDITION
The design for the collected edition maintains the cohesive creative aesthetic established in the single-issue magazines. It incorporates additional glimpses into the lore, featuring intriguing symbols from the story. The title page showcases mysterious symbols, and the credits spread features a prominent pyramid, enhancing the overall thematic experience.
