'Book' poster...poster layout
I'm really happy with how the poster side has turned out!
My main issues I have to work on now are:
- Possibly look at different colours? (Although I really like the first one below)
- Printing and stock - I want it A2 and obviously it will be digitally printed, but I need to choose a stock that is thin enough to be folded so many times...but also one that will hold the ink well so that it won't crack when I fold it.

'Book' poster layout
This layout looks a little weird as a flat digitial piece...but for it to work once its folded as a printed piece, it needs to be laid out like this.
Even laid out like this, I think the 'pushed together' one looks better - I will still print them both out to see which physically works best.
Layout change?
After looking at the quotes a lot more - although I was relatively happy with them, I thought there was too much space between each word...I think by simply 'pushing' the words together, it makes them a lot more visually engaging.
It may be less readable...but I think it works better in terms of type as image, and the more you look at it, the more readable it becomes so it isn't likes its Completely illegible.

Background?...
After vectorising all the phrases and giving them a basic layout, I needed to decide on a background.
I didn't want something too busy that would detract attention from the actual words - but I didn't just want a completely flat colour because that would be...to bland.
Although I do quite like this background, I think it maybe doesn't 'go' with the style of the type or the content of the quotes. It may be a little too 'grungey'...and messy for the clean, crisp type.
As I already mentioned, I didn't want a flat colour...I think this 'lighting' in the background (or...radial gradient!) adds a simple texture, it doesn't detract attention from the type, if anything I think it highlights it and it makes the background a lot less brand.

Ribbon type tryout....
I didn't want to have the outline on the final piece...so I needed to work out how to make it look like a ribbon and not have a stroke.
I really didn't know what sort of background to use or what colour to use...I did a few Really quick tryouts.
The cloud thing is...way too cliche and doesn't look great, I'll work on it more!
Ribbon type - initial drawings
So, after working out how to make it look quite like a ribbon - I illustrated each word that would be.
The images below are directly from my sketchbook - I intend to lay them out when I have digitalised them because it then means I can try different layouts.
It may look a bit 'all over the place', but its how I work...
This was an additional one that I did when I got carried away.
Which ended up developing my book fair piece...along with the book, which will be packaged in a bag with a business card...I will produce a postcard with this type on it - it will be my way of saying thankyou to them but it also gives them an extra 'something' that they could use in the future...and spread my work, wahey.
