Hey, My name is Scarlet and I am a first year Grpahic Design Student. I have been asked to get some critiques of my work as part of my submission. Your Crits will be grately received!
Here is my design brief:

This assignment is all about blending music, cities, and color theory to create some awesome abstract guidebook covers!

The Mission:

1. Pick Your Vibe: Choose a musical genre (like Jazz, Punk, or Hip Hop).

2. Pick Three Cities: Select cities famous for that sound (e.g., Chicago, Detroit, London for House Music).

3. Design Time: Create three A5 covers (front, back, spine) using only abstract color blocks and shapes (no photos!). Use color theory principles to capture the vibe of the music and the location.

4. Add Details: Include the city’s name and choose the perfect font.
My design ideas and colour mood boards:

My outcomes for your critique based on the above brief. I chose punk and the cities Tokyo, London and Los Angeles.
