What is good//Fabric designs

The cover of the instruction manuel is going to be made out of fabric therefore a pattern needs to be designed. 

Here is a template of the cover. It will need to be printed onto A3 as the outline (including the triangle fold) is bigger than A4. 

Most of the designs illustrated use the same imagery to make up the cover. 

Design 1

This design is simply pattern based. The whole cover is covered with the 'wool' pattern used as part of the logo. This design is aesthetically pleasing but it is ambiguous to what the content it. 

Design 2

This designs addresses the problem of not knowing what is inside. A title is placed in the top right corner on the front page so that when the fold closes the book, it is still seen. 

Applying a pattern to the back cover makes the overall design more exciting to look at. 

This is what this design would look like from a closed perspective. The fabric used will be an off white, so the blank front will work well with the patterned fold. 

Design 3

This design shows a combination of the two previous ideas. The 'wool' pattern covers the spread and the title has stayed in the right hand corner. The box around it makes the type stand out against the busy background. 

Design 4 + 5

These two designs are simply incorporating the logo into the cover. However it is not a necessity to have the logo as the instruction manual will come within the knitting pack so the audience will already know where it came from. 

None of these designs are finally, they are simply variations and a base for development.
