UNIT 08 (Illustration): STRENGTHS + WEAKNESSESS

Consider each of the following areas:

  1. Portraiture & Likeness : to what extent does your illustration resemble the character in the film?
  2. Composition : How does your design work on the page? How well do you use the space on the cover?
  3. Typography : Does the text fit with the design and the theme of the film?
  4. Colour : How does your choice of colour palette work in terms of colour theory and / or the iconography of the film?

For each area, try and identity one aspect of your design that you feel was successful (an aspect of the likeness; the size of the type, etc.) and one thing that could have been improved (background texture, font colour, etc). Give reasons both for these positive and negative outcomes, and for both consider how they could either be improved, in terms of the weaknesses, or developed even further in terms of the strengths.

Illustrate you evaluation with details from your design.
