Coming into the crit I think I got some good feedback which I can evaluate on and think about when developing one of my ideas further:
- Maybe I can think about using numbers more/ or a series of something
- Think about developing my excel drawings which could work well as book covers - using the grid cells form the excel files and putting numbers in it as background.
- Maybe incorporate some of the graphic notations - think of its layouts and use of symbols and link it back to the book.
- I was suggested on using smiley faces and symbols in order to portray misery.
- I can maybe use the different approaches and designs for each book with a layout or a band on the top for the title and author to make the covers more consistent.
- Research about different lottery tickets (The Lottery)
- Infinity symbol (2br02b)
- Maybe have it all black and white. (links to choice- only choosing from Yes or No)
- The Urbanomic Catalogue
From the crit, I quite like the ideas with the Visual Poetry design as I was suggested a range of ideas I can interpret misery and scapegoatism with the symbols, letter and numbers that I used, or also using different ideas from other set book covers which fits the books the best, developing them to fit more to the idea and story of the book I wasn't really sure with the excel drawings that got positive reactions for, as I initially thought they didn't really fit the aesthetic of the books themselves, being quite old classics, but I may try it out and see. I also think that because most of my ideas are conceptual and focused on a particular idea within the book, I can now have a clearer idea of different perspectives I can take the idea into and create developed designs with it. I think I just need to do more developments of the book designs I'm going to pick for my final outcome now and try to create a book cover fitting to the book's message and attract the readers attention with it.
