Boy's Life Mag :: Jake's Race

These were 2 , two page spreads for Boy's Life Magazine, the official magazine of the Boy Scouts Of America. I believe the publication has been around since 1911. The AD was hoping to run the story text as white type , so I kept the palette pretty dark & textured. The story , was about Jake , going on an early training run and coming across a car accident. Needless to say, he has to go and seek out help. A fun and challenging job. Wish they all could be like this.
