Front Cover Design - Feedback

The above designs were printed out and presented to a group of students to gain their feedback. Firstly, the capitalised text was prefered due to the correspondence to capitalised text that is used on map designs. The repetition of this comment was key as the name of the handbook is the name of the street where the content is focused, therefore the link is successfully put across. 

Something that was important to look at from the last feedback session is the illustration on the front and back cover of the handbook. Through suggestions, the illustration was developed by adding detail to the piece (pavement and wayfinding). Although the suggestions were taken on board, the original design was voiced as preferred. This is due to the simplicity of the design being lost with the adding of detail to the illustration and that although the front cover is simple, students felt as though they were still drawn to it and would want to pick up the handbook.
