As I wasn't too confident about the look and feel the current direction the book design cover was taking me I decided to ask a couple of my peers if I should go back to the drawing board and start again. At this time I was also discussing with my peers briefly, about my other ideas based around protest songs in the 1930s.
It was evident from the outset that not many people were excited or visually engaged about the mockup I had presented to them. A lot of people said it was too scary and harsh with a few suggesting that it looks very much like WWII propaganda. In the end, this confirmed my existing doubts around the idea and essentially put the nail in the coffin in terms of disregarding the idea. In other feedback, my peers suggested that my other idea around protest songs was a lot stronger in terms of concept and the way I could present and design it visually. It sparked a conversation and discussion of what I could do with the idea and this spark of discussion is the engagement and excitement I'm looking for.
