I worked on a LARGE 8-page pull-out coloring poster that unfolded and stretched 5 FEET! For "Scooby-Doo And The Cyber Chase," this was done all by hand and I did a mini mock-up to get the scale and layout down. It was much easier working smaller! Each character was separate and I cut and pasted/Scotch taped it all together to get a sense if it would work. We've come a LONG way!
I didn't have my first Photoshop class (using PS 6.0) until Spring of 2001, so this was kicking it real OLD SCHOOL on my end. I must have upscaled it on copy machines at Staples, then light-boxed it and inked the final art on good paper once it was approved. Someone at Golden Books took the art and scanned it and stitched it together digitally. I'm trying to recall as it was 25 years ago!
One side was a giant coloring page with all the monsters (pictured) and the other side was a single, GIANT maze that ran from end to end with different mazes and graphics to recreate parts of the film. One of the MOST CREATIVE and FUN things I've ever worked on. They don't even do this kind of cool stuff today!
