Hey, my name is Scarlet and I am looking for three different critiques of my work…
I would be incredibly grateful if you could share your honest thoughts and constructive criticism on my latest design project; all feedback is welcome as I’m eager to learn and improve.
The brief:
Design two complete covers (front, spine, back) for a chosen book (from the provided list or an author you know).
Two Design Styles Required:
Using illustration, imagery, or photography.
Using only typography.
Process:
Research existing designs, but avoid imitation.
Sketch rough layouts to explore ideas.
Develop concepts using mixed media.
Refine chosen ideas digitally.
Prioritize information hierarchy (make important elements stand out).
Mock up the final designs physically or digitally for presentation.
My notes, thubnails and sketches
Hi there, your design seems to be fine but there is two things to improve: Look at the illustration and the typography, which letter seems more readable for you ? also at the final typograghy the green seems very flashy to the eyes of the customer and the letters aren’t readable. These are the two things that I think you need to improve.
I agree with mluxgd about the text on the front cover of the illustrated version, it doesn’t really go with the art, I’d go for a more “popping font”, something that fits the style of the art. I do like the final typography version, but I would agree, maybe play around with the color of the font to get it to pop a little more.
