My design/book cover incorporates elements of music through the use of the music sheet. Personally, I am not well informed or knowledgeable about the topic of music and what goes on behind the scenes. When gathering feedback I decided to talk directly with Emily as I knew she had studied music In A Levels and I soon realised it was a very good move to ask Emily's advice. She instantly told me that the cord things above the notes were for guitarists only and for their reference when playing the guitar. As soon as she mentioned this realisation I quickly removed it from the design as I wanted the song chords to come across as a symphony and a harmony that a hummingbird could mimic -- you don't see many hummingbirds playing the guitars so it was very vital to take Emily's advice.
In one of my variations on my final cover design, I wanted the elements on the page to subtly represent a face. Emily Gave me advice on what musical symbols I could use instead of random shapes to make the eyes and mouth, as a result this would make the face more conceptual with a heavy link back to the overall theme.
