Working section 1
In this section, apply the keyword “how to make a manga cover” to decision 1.
Start with a precise brief for “how to make a manga cover”. Name the reader, the intended emotion, the page format and the decision the page must support. A short brief keeps experimentation useful because every visual choice can be compared with something concrete.
Treat the first draft as a controlled test rather than a final answer. Change one variable at a time, record what changed, and keep the version that communicates the idea with the least explanation. This makes revision easier for a solo creator or a small team.
A strong workflow separates story decisions from decoration. Decide what the reader must notice first, what can wait, and what should remain quiet. Then use composition, contrast, lettering and spacing to make that order visible without relying on a long caption.
Continuity is practical quality control. Keep a small reference sheet for names, silhouettes, clothing, props, colour limits and speech style. Revisit it before each page so a later panel does not quietly contradict an earlier one.
Review the result at the size where people will actually read it. A detail that looks impressive when zoomed in may disappear on a phone, while an oversized effect can make dialogue harder to follow. Test the page at two sizes before export.
