Final Crit
Inception Research Publication
To the crit I brought the whole thing, printed and ready, as they where two concertinas bigger than A3 in length I had to have them printed properly. I had also foiled my front covers and made the packaging.
Crit Feedback
I was happy with the feedback I felt that the comments where constructive and true. I also liked that people liked the design and format of my book, as this is what I had really worked on. I was annoyed that I had done certain things, i.e. having it printed onto the stock I actually wanted- which is more expensive, however this did show me how the stock looked and worked. I also found that on this stock that nail varnish scratches off onto the stock !
However I did already feel that there where a few problems with the books before going into the crit. For instance I felt that the body copy was too big and the line length was too short. I also had forgotten to delete some of the images.
I wish I hadn't of stuck the foil front covers to the books, as now I have to use a different foil, which isn't quite as good, although I had cut one size too short.
However upon reflection I could laser cut the maze and mount it onto the other paper this would have a similar effect as well as this I could use the colour of the maze as the reverse for the packaging.
I have learnt I also really need to read through what I have written, so that I know that it makes sense and that it is correct.
And that designing on screen looks different physically. E.g. point size.
Further Tutor Feedback
Typo's.
Line and word arrangement.
Drop the point size down to 9pt, and increase the leading this may look better and be readable, plus I could add more content.
Mount the packaging, as the stock is too light, ( I already felt this too but I wasn't sure how it could work)
Headings are needed like - Introduction
And the colour variations like mentioned by a peer is due to the uses of different software, e.g. photoshop and indesign
Press Quality on InDesign can reduce these problems.
And so I circled some of the problems so that I can look back at them later and I won't forget.
Colour variations- softwares
Word Arrangement
Unnecessary capital letter
Widows
Images double printed on the back.
