Ancillary feedback

I presented to the class the ancillary work that had been done so far. The first key section of feedback i really wanted was whether to use the abstract lighting piece or typographic one, the class majority voted the abstract light design to be far better for many reasons, they said it's use of black space made it seem "classy" and emphasised the colour. In terms of font on it the size, typeface and use of square brakets was all good also the positioning of the font on top of the smoke lines recieved positive feedback as it drew the eye well. The quotation at the bottom "anchored" the piece and made it more solid. Interestingly it was widely agreed that although it was abstract the lighting and colour fit well with the connotation of what is to be expected from a snow patrol album cover. The overall impact was said to raise questions, it encouraged people to find out more about this and was a striking design, one student said "the colour, layout, style, just perfect". The impovements to be made are relitavly simple, add the band name on the magazine advert to fit with conventions more, and for the Digipak use a similar but slightly altered design so the two aren't identacle.
