 Evaluation

 Overall I think I did well in keeping a consistent look over the three products, especially with keeping the font the same the whole way through. I also believe another strong point was the layout of the products I made, it is neat and organised. I also almost fit the conventions of the three products. To improve next time, I think I should add more design based stuff like shapes and drawings that fit the genre. I should also edit the background photos a bit more so they are more appealing and not so basic.

    A great start Eli, a very consistent package and great use of genre codes.

    WWW - you have a clear brand style which is continued throughout the three products in terms of colour palette, font style and imagery.

    TARGETS - Challenge yourself to be more creative with the design. It feels very safe. I'd like to see you use more considered photography and deign features.
