Idea Critique

Idea presented:

Mac laptop themed pocket guide book, called 'Basic Music 101'. It will be half of A5 and easily transportable. The cover will use metallic silver card to mirror the Mac aesthetic, and the logo on the front will replace the 'apple' with a 'sound wave' to reapply the visual literacy for this topic of digital music software. It will open upwards and have a consistent layout and structure of screen and keyboard - with the imagery being on the screen and the type being where the keyboard would be. Using Lucida Grande – the default Apple typeface, as well as the black frame around the 'screen' will communicate to the viewer the intended design concept.

Feedback:
  • Needs a way of keeping it open as you open the book so you can use it whilst on laptop – a stand or clip? Ring binders?
  • Don't lose sight of the sound and music aspect, maybe keep the wave aesthetic /logo constant
  • Doesn't have to be so small! A Laptop is portable and big. The consumer will have it with the laptop anyway as the purpose of the book is to assist with the computer software
  • Do tests; paper stock – maybe no acetate to show the screen as a bit tacky
  • Screenshots need to be visible as they are detailed and label the sections of the screen – so make book bigger
