For my design I simply printed out my design in black and white so that it could be written on by my peers for feedback.
The critique I received was based on the question I asked, which are listed below and also just general design issues with the publication
Questions
- Are there any spelling mistakes?
- What would you recommend for the front cover?
- What style of images work best in the book?
- Does the layout work and make sense?
- Comment on anything I should change.
Extended notes: circluar images create a more playful layout. Use single digitts for page numbers
After the critique I felt that I received some useful tips on how I could develop my design even further. I also arranged a one on one support tutorial with Lorraine were we discussed my book in more depth.
I also created another selection of questions to ask her which are listed below.
Questions
- Can I write in first person?
- Does the content make sense?
- Is there a good amount of work?
- What can you recommend for me to develop on in regards to aesthetic quality?
Feedback
- Audience focus
- Loose the first person
- Dual purpose packaging - Envelop
- Look at White Stuff design - Insert card
- Look into the Hacienda / Oasis font's
- Divide the grid into 3rds and 6ths 3x6
- Add more context
- Keep size for headings and subheadings
- Denote between the interview
- White layer underneath type - paint tool - airbrush around letters diffuse -15% - place image.
Action Plan
- Contact PIN for the logo
- Collect and look at flyers and base it around those styles.
- _ add more to list
