Design Refinement

As per my previous post, I wanted to combine the typography into the design and see what the options were when it came to this. I knew that the previous typography which looked hand-written wasn’t suitable for my demographic, however, as displayed below I think that it suited the style of the illustration.

Instead of having the typography in two straight lines I had each word on a separate layer so that I could organise them to make it seem as if they were flowing with the fish. As well as this, the slight curve that it has works with the texture and background of the sea to create continuous directions and shapes. I kept the typography black because this was the best option as all of the visuals have been black on this page and I’m pleased with how it turned out. I am still worried about the readability of this type so I am going to gain feedback from several people to see if I should change it or whether or not is is okay due to the duality of audiences and how the parents would be reading the story to their children.
