WHAT I LIKE :
- I think overall this design is an improvement on my first attempt for the non-fiction book cover.
- I like the sense of print media and hand-craft. I think the playful and naive aesthetic of monoprint really suits the tone of the book.
- I like the concept of making the cover reflect that of a diary. Although this has been done before I think I have managed to do it in a different and more contemporary way.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE :
- I think my lack of graphic design skills has again limited me in the design of a book cover - the layout and typography could probably be executed to a much better standard.
REFLECTIONS & THOUGHTS :
- I think I would like to continue to explore publishing as an avenue for my practice, as I really enjoy researching and designing concepts related to stories.
- On the other hand, I think too often I have adapted my work in order to suit certain contexts, which may have happened in this brief, rather than capitalising on my strengths as a creative.
- I do not think illustrating for younger audience really suits my practice, as I like using more complex and abstract concepts in my work.
