From receiving feedback from previous modules I have found that I seem to approach work in similar ways each time in terms of visual style. I typically enjoy making design which is somewhat quirky or illustrative which isn't necessarily the right way to approach a brief as it isn't always suitable. Through talking to parents locally (family friends ect) I have found that they suggested for my Autism book to be simple, clear and colourful. Which therefore wouldn't suit a illustrative style at all as this would be messy. Minimal and clean design isn't something I have experimented with before and this is a great opportunity to use negative space and try not to over complicate my designs by wanting to add more work and trying to make my designs cramped and over crowded. Parents want something which is easily understood and legible- this therefore means that they would trust the information they are being told because it would look professional and more formal than what a illustrative and 'quirky' design could provide. So to move forward from this I need to some in-depth research into grids, layouts and info graphics as some of the content for my book will be statistics. All of these elements I haven't necessarily come across before and I need to experiment with more variations in graphic design.
I have started with making a list of the content I need to include in my book from the crit:
Front cover
What is Autism?
Autism Statistics
Early detection & benefits
Symptoms 3,7 & 12 months
Who to approach? Next steps?
Treatments?
Helpful links/tips/ect
