Week Four: Session One

For today's class, we had our interim presentation of our book cover designs. At the beginning, we laid them all out on a bunch of tables, with some paper next to each concept for some feedback. I put down three concepts, which can be seen in my physical workbook, although the laser cut one with the dotted font was definitely my favourite.

I had also prepared some section/chapter openers in a similar style (using the dotted font) so that they could get a fair idea of how I was going to change the inside of my book in relation to the cover.

I was super stoked with how the laser cutting had turned out, and I got a lot of really good feedback on my concepts. The words on my feedback list were really reflecting the words I put on my concepting checklist back in term one, which was a huge positive. I was getting words such as "sophisticated", "clean", and "natural" as some of the feedback.

One suggestion that Fay had, was to go through and round all of the 'dotted' pieces, as a lot of them have random sharp pieces sticking out.

I feel like I'm close to my final book cover, and once I've rounded these dots, and altered the inside of the book, I'm going to begin my final production process.
