Angus Oblong - "Creepy Susie"

The cover for Angus Oblong's Creepy Susie (presumably designed entirely by Oblong himself) does not have much going on, not that that is a bad thing at all. In fact, from the look of it, because some of the same letters vary slightly, the cover appears to be hand-drawn by him, which would mean there is not necessarily any actual type involved. However, this does not mean type-related design elements are not taken into consideration here. Oblong still took care in centering the text in the subtitle (although the 'other' does seem a little close to the drawing of Susie), and it is interesting in that the text is not centered on the actual cover, but rather within the mirror frame. The only thing I might change, even though it is tiny and pretty much unimportant, is reducing the size of the subtitle slightly so the top part doesn't run right up into the drawing of Susie.
