Overall I'm fairly happy with the design, I feel it is minimal yet eye catching. I did encounter some issues while producing the final which I think affected the quality of the finished product. For instance after printing the final, I realised I had put the covers on the wrong way (how tragic). So to solve this, I had to carefully cut each panel and glue them on to a piece of paper.
I also realised after cutting each piece out and assembling them, that the total height of the jacket was 0.5cm short!!
I was really annoyed at this, as I had wanted a book jacket that was a single piece of paper to smoothly wrap around the existing book. I guess in future I will ask a peer to check a final design to see if anything is amiss, as it's difficult to spot these things after staring at a piece of work for so long.
Although these things don't completely ruin the design, as a perfectionist they stand out really badly and make the piece of work worse. I understand that when working with dimensions in future projects I need to really take my time and stay calm! (Dimensions and precise measurements really stress me out..)
