chosen development book cover critique

colour purple is nice and expresses what you talk about
titles are not appearing to the eye, hand cross stitch for the final covers will pull the production together
blurb should have a consistent use of type
authors name and title are too contrasting making the page feel unbalanced
the use of typography makes them work as a set but you should pick a background colour for the 'hygge' to make it fit the others.
the ideas and concept translate very well through the visual language
maybe the typeface should be bigger and interact more with the flowers
like the colour and three covers, with them expressing what you're trying to say
like the use of different colours
the colour used for 'Lykke' may have a better choice
overall ideas of the books are great and relate to the visual language
love the typography, works well with the rest of the design
not sure about the flowers as it over powers the type, maybe on one spine, so when together ts a collection of small flowers
or remove colours is they're line drawings

the black of the authors name overpowers the title, maybe change the boldness of lines, fill with colour
feel the covers would work well sat on the shelf next to the other books in the genre, would be most eye catching
linking social activities to the covers is clever and adds a nice link of the books country of origin
colour palette works well and consistent throughout
on the spine of the hygge maybe change to flowers to add the similarities between the covers

in response to the feedback it is clear that the visual imagery effectively conveys the ideas of the books well, however more consideration to the type should be made, With furthering experimenting with the type. To enhance the designs further the consideration of the layout should be further explored, with it stating that the spines should perhaps just feature the flowers, with also the titles not being in the same place on the covers, so a grid should be used.
