Below are the updates I have done so far which isn’t as far as id like to be. The inspiration for this design is the crisp packet vinegar chips. Its an iconic packet of crips I think and I love that simple yet iconic design it has. I did however use green as I had seen it being used in a few things and thought it looked really sophisticated. I had a critique today though to talk about how it’s going and what I could improve on. My tutors firstly said that I need to include illustration or photos to bring some life to the spread and tell the story of the writing. I knew this beforehand, I need to create some illustrations to show context to the dissertation. Im still insure on what I will create so this is something I’m going to be doing next. My tutor also brought up that my core system is good I could just experiment a little more. Playing with type weight, running heads and callouts could create more of a hierarchy. He said I just need to continue going and make sure I involve the playful subject more throughout the pages.
Going forward I want to continue playing with the hierarchy and editorial systems. I also need to create some illustrations to bring context back to the writing.
