This first idea seemed very plain and boring. Despite holding consistency, I feel it's far to boring, and not very appealing to pick up.
I liked the colour scheme with the above ideas. However I felt it was still too plain to work with.
Further similar ideas, changing the layout:
I liked the idea of working with a box, as it's something consistent throughout my publications, shown in the 'Common Mistakes' Section. The below ideas experimented with this.
I came to this idea, with a wider box. This meant the same size box could be used on the back, where text about each book could be fitted in. This box also worked with the 4 x 4 modular grid I have been working with, throughout the publication.
Finalised Designs:
As I was screen printing the reference book, I wanted to increase the point size so that it would print well. This was increased from 12pt to 15pt. Obviously this doesn't occur with the the digitally printed book, but I increased this too, so the publications would be consistent.
