The title has been moved to the top with the sub-title being at the bottom. Agreeably, this does look better as it helps guide the eyes from the top to the bottom of the book design. The illustrations on the book design are made to look minimal, only featuring key parts of the designs so that the audience would easily recognise what it is. The original idea was to use the colour of the Stratford Literacy Festival so that it shows a clear and strong link to the Sharing Stories book and the festival itself. The illustrated designs gives it personality and character, just like the contents the books hold. The red colour was used on Shakespeare's Birthplace to add more colour range and was chosen particularly because it works well with the orange. Orange and red are both warm colours so they would compliment each other. The idea to have the direction signs on the design is so that it also celebrates and features key parts that are well know in Stratford.
The portrait of Shakespeare on the reverse cover is to celebrate him/his life and how important he is to English Literature as he is one of the most famous storytellers of all time.
