Design For Print//Progress Crit

Questions I asked
1. Which format will be more effective; one, two or three?
2. Should the 'story line' approach be something that would be useful as a series-each book? 
3. In terms of colour, should it be different in each book or work as a set, bearing in mind it is going to be illustrative. 
4. In terms of an approach, do you think making it more personal is a strength or a weakness?
5. For the titles, would hand-rendered type fit in well with the style/ theme? 
6. What stock suggestions can be given? 


Feedback 

Strengths

• Story board idea is good, hand rendered type would fit with the personal theme.
• Applying context to product is a good idea.
• Strong concept that each print process has an example, makes it more understandable and gives context.
• Format two is the best design.

Areas for improvements

• How are you going to apply the 'story line' approach to each book.
• Maybe put a belly band on formant two to hold it together.
• Use thin stock for the booklet and a thicker stock for cover and band.
• Use coloured stock and then print in black.

Considerations

• Format two- more information than format three. Format one is too flimsy. Format two looks professional, like the idea of it folding out. 
• Depending on what illustration style you are going for, you could potentially use coloured stock or tints of the same colour. 
• Personal approach is appropriate could potentially feel it is towards them.
• Heavy stock for the folder of format two, light stock won't stay closed.
• Very visual, good use of stock will achieve success with target audience. Looks good so far. 

Action Plan

• Experiment with stocks and colour
• Start illustrations
• Pick a format to work from and apply the layout
• Apply content
