The document provides a strengths and weaknesses evaluation of a book cover design. The likeness of the portrait is strong, though some features like the nose and lips are not perfectly accurate. The composition draws the eye with contrasting orange and blue sides, but the upper left area feels empty. The font fits the design but could be better integrated and the leading is inconsistent. Overall, the design effectively uses complementary colors that tie into the story's themes, but some elements could be improved.

1. Strengths and Weaknesses Evaluation
Portraiture
&
Likeness
The
likeness
is
strong
and
you
can
clearly
see
it’s
the
character.
The
face
structure
and
propor7ons
are
right
and
the
bone
structure
looks
good.
The
best
parts
are
the
eyes
and
the
cheekbones,
as
I
think
they’re
really
the
key
to
the
likeness
and
are
the
parts
I
worked
hardest
to
get
right.
One
issue
is
that
I
think
my
portrait
makes
her
face
slightly
thinner
and
less
round.
The
lips
a
7ghter
then
her
actual
lips,
and
don’t
reach
the
same
width.
The
jaw
line
is
also
slightly
more
angular
then
her
face,
and
the
7p
of
the
jaw
more
pronounced.
This
makes
my
portrait
ever
so
slightly
more
pinched
and
sharp
then
her
actual
face.
I
also
think
the
nose
doesn’t
quite
work.
I
don’t
think
I
got
the
shading
right
and
so
it
doesn't
liB
up
and
seems
a
too
flat.
Composi2on
I
like
the
contrast
between
the
two
sides
in
composi7on,
as
it
draws
the
eye.
The
way
one
half
is
more
based
on
the
orange
light,
and
the
other
built
around
the
star
graphics.
The
upper
leB
hand
side
looks
a
bit
empty.
I’m
not
sure
weather
it
works
or
not,
on
the
one
hand
it
works
contras7ng
the
busy
right
side
and
leaving
some
breathing
room,
and
the
rendering
of
the
clouds
keeps
it
interes7ng
so
it’s
not
totally
empty.
On
the
other
hand
it
does
draw
the
eye
a
bit
as
the
only
area
of
the
cover
without
a
dis7nct
image.
I’m
not
en7rely
happy
with
the
posi7oning
of
the
font.
Whilst
it
looks
nice
centered,
and
somewhat
epic
due
to
the
fact
that
most
movie
posters
or
books
will
center
the
text,
it
might
be
beFer
placed
up
in
the
leB
in
that
empty
zone.
However
up
in
the
leB
it
could
throw
off
the
composi7on
of
the
contras7ng
sides,
as
well
as
clash
with
the
logo.
Typography
The
font
is
Trajan
Pro,
and
I
think
it
works
well;
it
fits
in
with
the
cold
and
elegant
and
mys7c
design
of
the
cover.
The
tracking
is
quite
7ght,
with
all
the
leFers
quite
close
together.
Whilst
I
think
that
works
with
the
font,
I
should
have
experimented
a
bit
more,
as
I
now
wonder
if
more
spaced
out
tracking
might
suit
the
open
and
mys7c
night
sky
concept.

2. Strengths and Weaknesses Evaluation
The
leading
could
also
do
with
improvement
as
the
top
line
is
close
to
the
second,
but
the
third
line
has
more
spacing,
making
it
look
like
it’s
driBing.
The
way
it
has
different
leading
from
the
top
line
breaks
symmetry
and
basic
consistency
and
is
quite
off
puMng
to
look
at.
This
is
the
main
thing
about
the
typography
I
would
want
to
change.
I
think
I
should
have
made
it
blend
a
bit
more,
making
it
slightly
transparent
like
the
lines
of
the
images
in
the
stars,
or
making
the
colour
bluer.
I
tried
to
make
the
font
prominent
with
the
colour
and
the
tracking,
but
now
I
think
this
was
a
bit
of
mistake.
Looking
at
other
LWL
covers
the
issue
7tle
can
some7mes
be
very
integrated
and
some7mes
even
quite
hidden,
like
on
the
‘Shame’
cover.
I
think
I
made
it
to
bold
and
obvious.
Colour
The
colours
fit
well
blue
and
orange
being
complimentary
colours.
They
work
together
as
well
as
contras7ng;
a
look
of
hot
and
cold
bouncing
off
each
other
that
makes
the
cover
pop
and
draws
the
eye.
The
blue
and
orange
colour
scheme
7es
in
with
the
consistent
colour
scheme
for
the
Hunger
games;
a
warm
burnt
orange,
with
a
cold
metallic
blue.
The
warm
glow
also
slightly
evokes
fire.
The
colours
really
7e
in
with
both
the
'Catching
Fire'
film
and
the
concept
of
the
cover.
The
image
is
based
on
the
more
mythic
nature
of
the
Hunger
Games,
mainly
with
parallels
that
can
be
drawn
with
the
Greek
Goddess
Artemis,
and
the
way
the
character
of
Katniss
becomes
a
sort
of
legendary
figure
in
the
story.
So
I
think
the
colours
very
nicely
use
both
magical
images
of
Greek
myth
I
found
as
inspira7on,
as
well
as
the
colours
of
the
film.
The
orange
could
be
more
integrated
into
the
cover.
It's
not
quite
clear
that
the
moon
is
the
source
of
light,
as
the
moon
it's
self
is
quite
dark
with
no
outer
glow.
Brightening
up
the
moon
would
have
helped
colour
as
well
as
composi7on,
as
it
would
have
been
a
pure
orange
center,
with
the
glow
coming
off
of
it
into
the
rest
of
the
image.
It
could
also
be
a
bit
stronger
in
the
clouds.
I
tried
to
dim
the
orange
in
the
background
to
accentuate
the
face,
however
it
might
liB
it
off
the
background
just
a
bit
too
much.
I
struggled
with
weather
to
make
the
orange
really
bold
and
contras7ng,
or
soBer
and
more
blended.
This
middle
ground
I
ended
up
with
looks
a
bit
too
muddled
and
murky.
