❥TASK
For this task, we are required to make our dissertation into a designed e-book
to be published. I came up with 3 sketches in the pdf below in Fig 1.1 and
also came up with some ideas and inspiration in the moodboard.
Fig 1.1 First draft of Moodboard for Design Publication
I decided to go with the second sketch and did the line art in procreate then
put it in illustrator to be vectorized.
Since the fonts I chose did not get approved due to it not being suitable to
the topic, I decided on a different font that more of a fantasy feel called
"Press Jobs", a font similar to Owl House's font used on the official poster
and for the body text I decided to use "hey comic" font as it had a liquid and
smooth feel to it which correlates to the word emotions.
Fig 1.2 Lineart for book cover
I used similar colour palettes found in the show to design the book cover and
also added a mask over Luz which represent negative emotions. Luz is the main
focal point in this case so I tried to make the rest of the design contrast to
her colour palette.

I continued working on some vectorizing some of the assets to be used in the
pages of the book. The assets I used for some of them correlate to the theme
of negative emotions and also used some of the characters as assets.

I imported the assets onto InDesign and started working on the layout and
the composition on the pages. Each section had its own colour combinations
but still correlated to the colour palette and also has its own
assets.

For the page numbering, I decided to come up with a card design with one of
Luz's glyphs on the design. Each time a new section is on the page, the
number of the cards increases and place it on the top left and bottom right
corner of the pages.

❥FEEDBACK
Week 9
The chiffon font does not have a flow and doesn’t go well with the title as its not fluid enough and doesn't fit well with the word emotion.
The letter n and f in the chiffon font is also too strong for the word emotion
Think about the hierarchy of the title, which word would be emphasized
Some fonts are too modern which makes it have no rhythm
