Crit feedback

 Crit notes - things to focus on

  • What is the purpose of the book when the stickers are removed? Could I add content behind the stickers so that the book still has purpose when the stickers are removed?
  • The format of the book could be played around with; instead of having the whole thing on sticker paper, the book could consist of regular paper with sticker tip-ins - the stickers could correspond to messages in the content of the book e.g. veganism 
  • The materials used could have a second purpose after the book is read e.g. compostable paper/ seeded paper 
  • The book could be bigger?
  • Experiment more with layout and how the stickers are placed throughout the book; it feels a bit sticker overboard at the moment
What I'm going to do now

I think at the moment I'm pretty set on the tone of voice and imagery I want to use for the book, as I've got a strong colour scheme and a style that relates to the fun and witty tone I want to convey. The key area for improvement now is the layout of my book and its' purpose when the stickers are removed; it needs to share the sustainable ethos of environmental activism, so needs to be something that isn't just a one use product. Due to this I'm now going to look at paper stocks and formats that could make my book reusable, and concentrate on experimenting with the layout and physicalities of the book.
