Some of the comments mentioned throughout the critique were about trying new experiments that could possibly link in, this was helpful but I feel like I need to start developing the actual final book now instead of more experimenting. However, I will definitely try out the ideas that I feel were most relevant towards the production of my book, as well as the smaller tweaks.
Critique comments:
-My comments in this colour
- I mentioned that the inspiration for the patterns comes from mosques and asian clothing/pattern- someone mentioned that I could use a technique in my book that relates to this; e.g. embroidery, relating to clothing such as sari's and furniture/ornaments etc
- Information books are usually rectangular- maybe try this if it works better? Although the shape I have used is relevant as it needs to be a small travel book
- The mockup that uses the red foil on the antique white paper is best
- The red foil on red paper looked interesting- the cover could be red
- Could possibly use a typeface that looks like Arabic text?
- The India and Pakistan border shape could somehow be incorporated into the book? (Urdu formed when India and Pakistan became independent) I think a little detailing like this could look really effective, it could be incorporated into the patterns even
- Soft back cover looked better and is easier for travellers- Im not sure about this comment as a hard back cover relates more to the rich, minimal aesthetic that I am going for. One of my peers mentioned that I could create a really classy looking cover/sleeve that would go around the soft back publication- it could be made out of fabric which relates back to clothing like sari's, it could be embroidered onto silk for the classy aesthetic
