This design incorporates concepts from the movie ‘They Live’ - it uses a very simple monochromatic aesthetic to demonstrate perhaps what it would be like if robots made the design, or maybe since robots are the ones who’ll be reading it, its simple because that’s easier for them to read and they don’t need particularly stylised design principles/aesthetics. Grey works really well in communicating robots because it is evocative of metal. The logo on the front works well in contrasting these slightly emotionless robot faces with the fact that they are actually in love and the hearts further this idea. Also there’s some nice textural contrast between the thresholded images and the solid type. The first typeface in the logo - IvyMode, is sleek and modern yet still a high contrast serifed font which are typically used by wedding chapels to make them appear sophisticated. The second typeface, Titling Gothic Extended (lowercase) is just very contemporary and modern, this is contrasted with the banner. The simple aesthetic on the inside provides more attention to the layout and typesetting, which is why that was taken advantage of by doing some more interesting typesetting on the left page.
This design communicates the robot side of this project really well, but perhaps it does need some brighter colours and slightly more intricate designs just to create that juxtaposition. Nevertheless, the logo is definitely a successful part of the design which I will take forward, perhaps with some developments - I might get rid of the banner and just use Titling Gothic to simply it down.
