Feedback from Crit

Todays Tuesday lesson was our crit of our iBook to the rest of the class, I felt that this was a really good opportunity to get some constructive feedback on my iBook as I myself felt like there was something missing but I couldn't figure out what it was. After successfully showing the half completed version of my iBook I have my peers took it quite well, here is the feedback given:

Positive

• High Quality images make it look professional.
• The flat colour scheme works well drawing attention to the pictures.
• My content interactivity was suitable and factual for my audience (sound bytes of animal noise).
• Good title font choice.

Negative

• Background of each page was plain, and needed a bit of attention.
• The second page of each section's layout was wrong and needed to be addressed (black boxes)
• Information font should be different from title in all cases.

So I took this feedback and went away and made all the changes that I agreed with, and in this case it was all three of the negative feedbacks I received. I found this additional insight really helped me develop my iBook into a much stronger piece of work overall. 

I changed the background of each page from a flat pale green to a rough bordered two tone green which gave each page a cutout effect. (see pic 1) I also completely redesigned the second page of each section by using the pen tool and creating rough cutout shapes again which I placed the text within this gave it a great new look which will appeal to younger audiences. (see pic 2)

Finally I changed the information font on the second slide a thin and professional font 'Helvetica Neue' (see pic 3).

(Pic 1) & (Pic 2) & (Pic 3): As you can see here on the left hand side of the image there is the rough edged two tone green border I was referring too, you can also see the shapes that I replaced the black boxes with to put the text inside. And it also shows the new Helvetica Neue font for the second page information I used instead of my title font 'Moon Flower'.
