| Idea/visual Presented for feedback |
ISSUES RAISED
-The current character illustration looks too similar to Harry Potter, define the character from the competition.
The shape of the glasses will be altered and the clothing will be altered to steer away from a Harry Potter Style.
-Diary on the spine is misspelt
This will be changed, spelling checks will be carried out for the final design.
-Question raised as to whether the character would wear red glasses.
Research glasses from the time period that teenagers would wear. Find any direction within the book.
ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN
-Develop the jumper, try some textures.
-Try an analog approach, physically make the illustration.
-Experiment with previous idea to show faces going through emotions/experiences
-Try a minimal style e.g. just definitive features such as glasses and spots.
GENERAL FEEDBACK
-The front and back could mirror each other to demonstrate mood swings/changing personality
-Handwritten text is cliche for a diary entry book, explore type further.

Feedback
-The strongest designs are cover 3 and 5.
-Cover 5 has the strongest impact. Increase the type size so this is more legible or change to a serif. Experiment with this type more.
-The full body is stronger than the face alone.
-Continue to explore mirrored cover idea.
-Try to explore further with collage/paper and try to introduce more texture.
-The character has been brought to life very well.
-Keep the spine simple. Change the type to white to ensure it stands out well on a shelf.
Next Steps
-Covers 3 and 5 will be developed further.
-The type will be refined.
-The mirrored idea will be explored.
-More texture will be added to the designs.
