Working for DM Lair, a roleplaying game YouTube/streaming host, has presented several design challenges. When laying out his monthly one-shot publication, he provides the interior information and I am responsible for finding and using appropriate cover stock artwork, cover typography, and interior stock artwork. For the initial run, I developed a new template for the publications, later changing to the same template used for the monthly Lair Magazine. As with the Lair Magazine work, I fill in the empty white spaces with various stains, ornamental decorations, and ink splotches.
Below is the cover layout and a sample of the internal spreads from some of the monthly one-shot publications.
