During my last tutorial it suggested that I look at alternative formats, as my illustrations looked too cluttered in the composition above. Much like my other imagery, I thought that that images worked best by themselves. I didn't want to just make loads of books so I thought about just making info cards. That way I could play around with the illustrations so they're not just plonked on the page.
This is what I came up with below. Because of the new format, I was able to produce some more illustrations of some extra food. If I had chosen to do another book, I would have been restricted as you have to work in 4s. I still really liked the title, and wanted to include it somewhere. I decided to add the title on to the back of all the cards which in turn helped them work as a set. By adding the imagery that I've previously used for the shopping list design, I was able to help the 'shopping list' work with the other imagery more, as I felt it didn't before.
Overall, I'm pleased with these outcomes, they work much better within these frames than they did in my previous design. It also helps with the interactive element of the pack, making it more children appropriate. The designs as a whole look a lot more interesting and attractive. I like that each card is a little different, and that I didn't have to stick to a similar layout for all of them.
