Early Chapter Book Spread – "Bubble Battle!" (Chapter 5 Intro)

Full-color interior double-page spread illustration and layout created for a dynamic middle-grade or early chapter book series[cite: 22].

THE BRIEF:
The author required an action-packed, chaotic bathroom scene introducing Chapter 5, where brothers Max and Ben turn routine tooth-brushing into a wild foam and bubble fight[cite: 22]. The visual needed to express high energy, comedy, and sibling antics while incorporating bold chapter header typography, story text overlays, and a highlighted bottom quote callout[cite: 22].

WHAT I CREATED:
• Double-Page Artwork: Detailed, high-energy bathroom environment filled with flying toothpaste, floating bubbles, sudsy foam, dynamic water splashes, and an excited family dog joining the fun[cite: 22].
• Character Continuity & Dynamic Acting: Maintained exact character consistency from earlier chapters, capturing Max leaping mid-air in a “SPLAT!” shirt alongside Ben getting caught in the crossfire while holding a foaming toothpaste tube[cite: 22].
• Graphic Design & Layout Integration: Designed explosive, comic-style title typography (“BUBBLE BATTLE!”), paint-splat chapter badge elements, and clean left-aligned text typesetting for effortless early-reader comprehension[cite: 22].

TECHNICAL SPECS:
• Software: Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign
• Deliverables: High-resolution 300 DPI CMYK print-ready spread with precise safety margins and bleed allowances formatted for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark publishing standards.
