Feedback
Main Points Raised:
The (+1) show that more than one person agreed on the point.
I have also highlighted the main points I need to address.
Strengths:
- Well considered stock choice (+2)
- Overall contemporary, sophisticated design (+1)
- All aspects are well thought out, eg. stock, binding method, type
- Really love the Japanese type + binding, very appropriate to topic
- Very simple, clean, grid based layout!
- Like the idea of Japanese 'hole' for packaging.
Areas for Improvement:
- Black stock doesn;t flow with choice of stock for publication
- Intro page - looks closer to the margin on English side
- Page 11 layout is too spaced out, too confusing for the eye.
- Page 15 bottom is out of grid and doesn't align with page 15
Considerations
- Maybe try and justify text in columns, to match your grid system.
- Inside margin needs to be bigger, to allow for the binding.
- Black thread for binding.
- Watch out for the design falling into the spine, you will will need an extra 5mm in the spine.
- Are you going to screen print of laser cut onto the cover for the title?
