The book cover was taken to the final critique, whereby it gained mass attention. Both positive and negative criticisms were made surrounding the design.
First of all, it was suggested that the general colour palette of the deisgn was not enthusiastic, but rather plain. The colours used were said to be bland, and therefore not stand out upon a shelf. One member stated that brown is the second most disliked colour, thus this expressing negativity towards the deisgn.
The concept of the book cover was said to be strong, with the twisted branches mimicking that of the tree of good vs evil. Although stating this, it was suggested that the tree approach has already been explored with on mass scale and thus may not be that effective.
The illustrative style was said to be fun, and engaging with mass details being explored. I felt this to be a positive aspect of the deisgn as I was previously unsure upon my illustration skills. It was also suggested that the composition was strong as the tree branches somewhat 'build' themselves around the text.
The typography was also said to be strong, with the idea of using a script font to embed the naivety of a mockingbird being highlighted. It was also suggested that this helped to separate the author's name from the title.
