I have received feedback on my final LWL cover design from an Art Editor named Paul Tysall who works for a magazine called Imagine FX. Here are his comments:

+ Typography is good energetic. The clash of the flat vectors and texture brush strokes is great. Stands out, eye catching.

- The colour choices don't seem to fit the film - feels a bit Halo (Master Chief). Similarly the typography seems to have little link with the film.

Paul Tysall - Art Editor Feedback

The comments on the typography were good and bad. He mentions that the text looks energetic, giving the cover some life. However, he also said that the font choice doesnʼt really relate to the film, which is a fair comment. I think that in order for the text to fit into the style of the design, it would need to be this kind of font. I would need to make a completely new concept in order to fit a more suiting futuristic themed font into the design.

Paul commented on the use of the dry texture

brush strokes and said that it helps make the

cover stand out and eye catching. This is what was in mind when I decided to use these brush strokes. I wanted to make a grungy design that stood out well

but also looked right.

The comments on the line art were positive. The simple, flat, symmetrical

vector lines clash very well with the dry brush strokes and splatters. It helps split up the colours and shades of the helmet whilst allowing colours to “splat” over the

other colours.

The comments on the colour scheme were slightly expected. Paul mentions that the green helmet

reminds him too much of the Halo game character Master Chief, he does have a point. I maybe should have used the orange and blue colour scheme, but I

wasnʼt happy at how it looked and so I wanted to explore different colours.
