After changing the content of the book to a book including my drawn version of my favourite record sleeve designs, the important part was to decide on a style for the drawing to make sure it fits with the ideas of this book:
-minimal
-modern
-image heavy
(taken from research into record sleeve design books)
To do this i will research in to illustration styles that i feel would work for these covers and that i can do, but these are a quick few ideas i did during the crit to see if any of the styles stood out as the most suitable.
After mocking up some small ideas the idea my peers and i thought was the best was the line drawn style, this style could be applied to all the different record sleeves as it versatile and adaptable for the different unique styles of record covers also this fits withe idea of minimal. The theme of line drawing is the most minimal style of illustration that could be applied to the content, therefore we felt that it would be the most suitable.
-can be applied to all the different cover
-minimal style
-easy to add my personal twist
-very popular style
-will highlight the design aspect by showcasing them
-groups the different design styles together as a set
Quick Ideas For Layout
If i select line drawing as the style of illustration to do for the record sleeves an idea i had was to over lap (using acetate/tracing paper) my drawn versions over the original ones, this would allow the audience to interact with the book and add interest to the design in a unique way. This could be done using a selected type of binding to over lap the drawing which would make the book more original as i have never seen this done before. The design would work so that when the drawing its taken away the audience can see the original and this would allow them to appreciate both styles.
'the idea of over lapping the images would work better for a childrens' book'
'if the theme is minimal and modern i don't think the idea of over lapping the drawn and original will work, minimal means simple to stick to the original or the line drawn ones not both'
'yes i totally agree, not both but i'd say the line drawn version will give it more personal different feel cause its less serious and i don't think i've seen stuff like that before'
'keep it simple, line drawings would be a really interesting way to go with it'
'i don't know if line drawing is that modern because its more imperfect but i like the idea, i guess you could make it modern using the layout or something'
'record sleeve covers is coooool'
'its a cool twist on a record sleeve book design which i've seen a hundred times before'
'research illustration style and illustrators before picking one, line drawing is kinda a big section but artist spealise it in'
'don't over lap them its too complicated, keep it simple just like a normal record sleeve design book but with your versions'
'have you thought of displaying it in a record sleeve, you can get plain ones dead easily'
-look at displaying the book in a record sleeve/making it record sleeve size
-don't over lap the drawn and original
-research different types of line drawn illustrations
-keep it simple
-look more at modern design styles
