Sup /gd/

I'm working on a cookbook design for class. Doing it as a zine. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but should I be using capitals or lowercase for 'a zine of'?

capital only on the first letters including the first a. also the color saturation/vibrance makes it boring

>>267966
thanks for the reply, how do you think I could improve the colours?

well, if you're in photoshop use the magic wand selection tool on the pieces and duplicate each. then add a new vibrance and saturation adjustments layers on top of every single one. and set them to clipping mask (right-click on the layer) and adjust each individually. however don't over edit them.

My suggestion would be that you need to be thinking about your target audience. I mean, by itself the design isn't terrible or anything, but it doesn't look appetizing in any way. If I were wanting to look for a cookbook, I'd want something vibrant, something that makes me immediately associate it with good tastes and flavors.

The color choice and filter really just gives me a mental image of food that is tasteless or doesn't taste very great, maybe even bordering on foods that are spoiling. I know that's unreasonable, but it's what my mind associates with the palette you've chosen (and to be fair, it's what the human mind is trained to do automatically when it comes to food).


See if you can't create something that creates more positive associations.
