OUGD404 - Critique Feedback
After a small group critique in which I presented my research and initial book cover designs, I was provided with valuable on which set of covers was the strongest, and what I could do to improve them even further.
I definitely thought my contemporary covers which use type and punctuation as imagery were the most resolved designs, and this was confirmed in the critique. My application of small pieces of research to form more unconventional visual ideas was remarked upon and in general the design of all 3 covers was well received. In continuing with the development of these designs, it was suggested that I firstly use a better grid system and possibly modify it to suit the requirements of the designs, experiment with colour swatches more in order to get the perfect background colours and to refine the design of the guitar tab on the cover of Cohen’s book by aligning the bar indicators and possibly playing with the arrangements of the letters. My choice of Futura as the typeface was considered successful, however I would like to experiment with the type a bit more as it lies secondary to the imagery in the hierarchy of the design at the moment.
