I found this crit quite hard as i didn't quite realise i should have printed everything i had done upto this point, so i was hard for the people critting my work as i had pretty much everything on my blog. However once they had seen my blog and i had the chance to explain my work we realised all the improvements they had suggested didn't really match. This aside there were some really good suggestions given to help improve the look of my work and other things i should consider changing, which is what im straight onto next. Firstly they really liked the illustrations and collage affect i was using which was a plus as my work was based around this. It was suggested i fill as much space as possible on my look covers to avoid too much white space. They liked the simpler and cleaner book covers that the ones with too much going on. Another key point which i think will help is to avoid making the bite size logo and symbol too prominent on the page, it really doesn't need to be as long as i can show a small link between them thats all that matters. I must decided on a set of deliverables now i have established exactly the areas and topics i have chosen because its not exactly clear anywhere at the moment my intentions for this brief. Finally the type faces, the modern one and the hand crafted one on the revision cards don't work well together at all, i new this already and did intend on changing it but now someone has picked up on it, i need to push on this and it may lead my in new design directions.
