Responsive - final designs

 These are my 3 final designs, I sent off the two sets of designs I had done, and asked family and my peers for feedback. Everyone preferred the white background designs, and these were also my favourite too, as this is my preferred style. 

Some of the feedback I got were:

'You've done a great job then, I personally can't tell the storyline from those pieces but that may be down to the fact you've only been asked to create three.' 

  

'I like how clean it looks and the fact that you've not gone over board with colour. Used just enough to finish the pieces.'

'The white background ones look better and simpler for an illustration, plus the quilling will show up better when you send the photos.' 

I think because this is a story no one has read yet, you won't know what the story is about really, but I hope the illustrations do their job of accompanying the story. But I received a lot of feedback, and got opinions with picking the right shade of colour. and I think over all they work well as a set.

I also got in touch with the Authour of the story and it was really great to hear his feedback and read more about what he had invisioned.

'I really love what you have so far, particularly that image of the cell phone. My only note is for the image of the two men in the car. Would it be possible to make the figure of the driver smaller/more slight than the passenger? I'd envisioned the murderer to be a small, daintier man than the assistant, which makes his power over him all the more dynamic. Also, I like having the face of the man visible in the mirror portrait, and especially to have his expression be so confused/pained, but in the image in the car I would rather not show their faces. If you agree, I think it'd be cool to have their faces shadowed, with maybe just their mouths showing, but not revealing the expressions of their eyes.'

Now I will go back to the car scene to make these ammends as I really wanted the illustrations to refect what was invisioned in the authors mind also.
