After creating the collages, I decided to do some further development on the colour scheme and typeface.
Following on from the colours I had already chosen, I played around with different swatches. I wanted to use pastel style colours to keep things fairly light and airy and I also felt these would work well with the collages.
After decided against the previous typefaces I had looked at, I came across a typeface called Integral CF. I found the heavy oblique version of this really appealing and I felt it could give a contemporary and modern edge to my book alongside the collages I had created.
I started playing around with the typeface combined with the colour scheme and I was really keen on how this looked.
I then started experimenting with my collages in Photoshop and giving them a colour hue to match the scheme.
To see how these collages would look within context, I made a quick front cover mock-up in Illustrator.
I took these ideas to my group crit. People really liked the collages I had made but they were concerned I was trying to do 'too much' with them. They said that I should work with the collages a bit more and try find a style that would really bring them to life. There were suggestions of looking further at 70s style and language used within similar types of publications from this era.
