Secret 7" Feedback

Final 3 Designs
The designs are in order of 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Design influence

1. The peaceful scenery of nature. The purply/blue sunset makes you feel like you're in paradise and the same feeling as being in love.
2. Simple, clean, sharp design representing the simplicity and ease of the feeling of being in love. The blue represents the tranquility of love.
3. Rob Ryan inspired, the elements of the hearts and stars represent the idea of being in love and the cut out design represents the delicacy. 

Questions

1. What song do you think this design is for?

• Imagine?
• Imagine? Dream 3?

2. Do you think the design look aesthetically pleasing?

• No, the simplicity of design is highly effective. Stock used matches the design more interesting!
• Yeah because of the delicate dreamy theme and Heaven reference
• Yes, the delicate hand cut design would look lovely as a physical design. Do not make it digital!
• Yes looks good
• Designs have a beautiful tactically and feel personal. Make sure you scan it in high quality so you don't have to loose the detail
• Beautiful designs that use a perfect colour scheme and link to the title perfectly
• Yes - all designs are aesthetically pleasing, however cut-out is too much like Rob Ryan
• The pencil drawing does and the paper cutting
• The first design looks cool - but cut out shows a lot of skill
• Yes, 3rd design is strongest, don't feel requires type
• Love the hand rendered tactile nature of the 3rd
• I actually like 1 and 2 because the third one with the stars and the word Heaven are a bit too much? The 1st one is really pleasing and peaceful. The 2nd one is very clean and simple as well
• Third one is the best, more intricate in design and has more depth. The 1st could be promising if better coloured
• Yes, I love rob Ryan, but is it too similar?
• Yes, design 1 is my favourite as shows the most time and effort with the blending of the colours

3. Which design would you prefer?

• Middle bird works the best
• The 1st design 
• The pencil drawing 
• I like the second one as it is simple, clear 
• 1st
• 3
• First
• 3rd
• Yes, design 3 is my personal favourite 
• The cut out design
• Third one
• The plain blue design with the white dove
• The middle one
• Prefer the middle design, however the first one is a good concept and with further editing could work nicely 
• I prefer the first design however also like the cut out
• I like the dove with the heart in the eye and the use of the light blue colour as it is almost peaceful. The hand rendered elements work well but I prefer the aesthetic of the digital one
• Prefer cut out design! Different and original lovely work
• Paper cut, you've pulled it off so well

Other comments:

• Might be too similar to Rob Ryan? Really like the paper craft idea though. Maybe alter the design slightly 
• Design 2 reminds me of Emma Dubbers work, really strong, effective, conceptual 
• Compared to the other designs likely to be in the competition - no.

Having read the feedback I had received, I am very surprised that no one had actually guessed correctly. My design turned out more ambitious as I thought even though I wrote my design influence on all the design, no one seemed to understand the song. I think I may have over-complicated my designs. I counted that 5 people liked the first design, 6 people liked the 2nd and 7 people liked the 3rd design. I am surprised as to the first design as I didn't think it look like a strong enough design since it doesn't look well drawn or neat. I am glad most people liked the 3rd design the most as do I. However, a few people have said it looks similar to Rob Ryan's artwork which I don't understand as I was inspired by his designs anyway so it would look similar. Someone also wrote that none of my designs are good enough to be in the competition.
