Strengths:
- Good break down of the different areas of print - colour categorised aids user
- It splits up areas with a simple grid - consistent design across book
- The coloured drop shadows around image are a good effect
- The packaging is a good way to store it all together.
Improvements?:
- Tag posts more specifically
- A lot of information in body sections - small snippets brought out into large - make it more of a reference
- What stock or finishes are you going to use
- Design boards would be useful
Considerations:
- Different colour stocks on a double page spread wont work with your binding
- Clear note of audience
- Pad print?
- Have you considered stock or binding?
- Well categorised, looks really good as a set
- Approachable design, aesthetically pleasing
- Nice use of images
- A lot of information without being over bearing
- Good use of colour coding individual colour works well.
The bolded points are the most notable points from the feedback. I think moving forward I'll make more boards and really show my thought process and dimensions, stock choices etc.
Regarding the point about stocks on a double page spread not working with this form of binding is a very true point, I didn't manage to do a page imposition, so I didn't know what stock would be on which page. I need to do this! and then update the mock-up issuu's.
I need to finish the finishing process book, and make notes of what finishing processes I intend to use on the pages and the packaging as I know what I have in mind but didn't communicate this. I also need to mock-up the back cover of the package and the spine as it needs to sit on a bookshelf.
