Urgh

So this weekend was supposed to be when I got loads of stuff done on my book. I have literally spent most of the 2 days playing with font, colour and shapes on my title page and nothing else!

So frustrating! I wanted to be so far through and I can't make any decisions. I think because its my last graphic design fun thing for University and I want to make it really cool. I have ideas for colour schemes and shapes etc, but I feel like all the stuff I want to use should be on the front cover because I want it to all tie in when I mix them up in the book.

I guess this is the first time I can do what I want in terms of colour /pattern and font and it's harder to make decisions without a reason. I like that for this I can design something that is completely different, but its taking sooo much time to decide and I really want to get moving.

So heres some of my issues through screenshots etc....I feel like 5 colours is generally too many, if I have 3 colours and then the black and white stripes that would be good, but then if I add 2 more colours I get more variety throughout the book....

I guess the mixture of colours and ideas work in that this book is about not knowing what to do we do, so me not knowing what to design is kind of ironic.

Anyway, I need a break my eyes are going all funny...














Soooo I have decided to try and design some of the other pages instead to take my focus away, but so this is the first page currently, but I dont love this either. So urgh.
