Book Covers Crit
Today I participated in a crit and received feedback on my three book cover designs. I found this very useful and will help me further develop my chosen idea to perfection. To summarise the feedback I got, I should basically combine small aspects of each design into one as my work was strong it just had to be put into form better. I should also try and simplify my work a little further also if I was going to make it more minimalistic. Following these pointers will help me make a much better series of book covers.
- Collage
- Take out the blue and emphasise the first set of colours
- Take something referring to Japan and use it for 'south of the border, west of the sun'
- Orange seems dated, use modern colours
- Listen to jazz music again
- Pull colours from falgs
- Black + white and spot colour
- Hand done type works really well
- Have text in white - use more white/empty space
- Experiment combing image with text
- Keep it loose/play around with grids and variations
- Mix all ideas together
- Boldness = effective
- Text . on top of image
- Each book different colours
- Image repeated
