Speaking from Experience- Crit and Plan

The crit went a lot better than I thought, I got some opinions and some useful feedback, I asked for peoples opinions on the first designs of the front cover, which is: 

I asked people whether they felt the colours were too girly, I then got the feedback that the whole organiser seemed to be something aimed at girls and people couldn't see boys using an organiser and sticking stickers on it. I feel this is a valid point, however I wanted the organiser to be aimed at both genders, so i may still change the colours on the front cover, but still keep it fun. 

Another question I had for the crit is what design websites people use for inspiration here are a few of the answers: 

typeverything

design taxi 

design milk

tumblr

instagram

front shop

designspration

type & eye

I need a few more to add to my calander, but this is a good start. 

Plan for the next week is:

Tuesday-

Test Print, test whether the pages actually match up and see how large the final produced outcome would be.

Make sleeve, work out how to design it. 

Wednesday- 

Finish and finalise designs, of stickers and pages. 

Thursday- 

Do another test print to make sure it all looks okay.

Digital print- 4pm
