The next step for the book designing is to make the title page. After designing a couple the class was told that the title page is generally more low key and that simplicity is your friend. As with most of this project, I think the hardest part is to bring the illustrators together or just to decide that it'll be focused on my guy.
I really dislike the above design. The fading is tacky and the diagonals don't make sense. I'm probably just gonna scrap this whole idea, as far as the title page goes. Maybe it's more of a cover thing.
I don't think this one's too bad. The background makes sense in terms of the title. But... I kinda want something graphic if it's gonna be in color.
This one's my favorite so far, except for the italics. It just feels cleaner and simpler.
I dislike the addition of color.
I really like this one because it gives a snapshot of each illustrators work and is really clean, but may be boring....
Squiggly line composition in b&w and also the bottom one are the most interesting. There's a lot going on in the images, so it's definitely not boring. Don't forget your name and publisher's mark. As the three images on the right have figures, maybe the one on the left should too. At first, I thought maybe Woody should be zoomed in & cropped more to correspond to the density of the other images, but now I'm thinking the white space around him is a nice contrast.
