From these results, I can see that both genders were equal numbers. This was because we

decided to pick 5 males and 5 females to answer our questionnaire in order to make it fair

because females and males both have different tastes yet share the same within their own

gender.

From these results, I can see that Design 3 was the most popular choice for the audience. Design3 had an outstanding theme to it and I can see why it was most popular. The design was done by

one of our group students who used Photoshop in order to create it hence why it looked very

professional and poplar among the audience. It had a colour scheme of green along with pictures

ofGary Jules (artist of our song choice) and other things which had relation to our music video.

From these results we can put forward the ideas of design 3 and use them for our final product in

order for it to stand out and help portray our genre ideal.

From these results, I can see that the age group 16-20 was the most common.

Again just like gender, we decided to do this on purpose because our main target audience was

this age range and in order to get the best opinion we asked 16-20 year olds. We did also ask a

few other ages in order to gain different opinions for those who other ages who may be

interested in our CD.

From these results, I can see that Design 3 had by far the most popular front cover design.

Design 3 consisted off primary image of a long shot of a man who was sitting on a tree stump

whilst in a park. It was contained the song title along with the artists name.

There is no surprise that this was the most prevalent as the main image was incredibly striking

and helped connote the rock genre incredibly well because the man is sitting alone and

depressed whilst in a beautiful park which is full of life. A small amount of binary opposition is

there as he is alone and upset which creates a dark atmosphere, However he is in a place full of

life and wonder which creates a light atmosphere and both of these corresponding atmospheres

is what rock is best at representing, the good and the bad.

Because of these results, my group and I now have and outline on what she should portray on the

front page and hopefully this will be appealing enough to eye catch a vast audience.

From these results, I can clearly see that both Design 2 & 3 were the most popular amongstthe candidates. Both of these designs had an incredible and unique style to them which both

outlined what kind of music genre we are using whilst also portraying some of our musicvideos features within them which gave it that edge of popularity.Design 2 had the important information such as track list, record label, a QR code,institutional info and more, as did Design 3.The primary images were also very professional in terms of connoting our genre and musicvideo ideal. Design 2 used the image of the chest we were using in our product (the chestheld items which represented parts of our protagonists past life) whilst Design 3 used a long

garden pathway which used to present life being long along with the shadows and lightconnoting the good and bad factors of life.From these results we can try and implement both images in order to help portray ourchosen genre as well as using excessive side information in order to give our audience anunderstanding of who we are and what we are about.

From these results, I can see that Font 8 was the most preferred text among the candidates.

Font 8 was a very unique, stylish and italic font which we all preferred compared to the rest of

them however we wanted an opinion from others see as this is who were aiming our product at.

Now we know what font to use, we can take this into consideration for when we design our final

product as we will make sure that we will use this font in order to appeal to our target audience.

From these results, I can see that the candidates would most likely prefer to see a

variety of different shots which represent different images. The reason for this would

simply be because it would most likely appeal to them more. Having a variety of

images can connote what type of album it is in terms of concept as well as look more

professional because of the context the images will be representing which is what

the audience wants as they need to know what type of album it is.Because of this, we will now consider the possible camera shots we can use in order to

represent our concept and theme of our chosen song and video in order to appeal to

those interested as well as those who can relate to our theme.

From these results, I can see that more people agreed on there being more lighting affects on

each panel. The reason for this could be as simple as different lighting affects can connote a

different atmosphere for the CD. For example, Dark lighting could possibly be a representation of

a dark under oath and the album could contain a range of depressing and sad songs where as for

bright lighting can give of a sense of hope and a heavenly aspect in terms of the songs being

reassuring and comforting.Because of this, it is important for me and my group to pick the correct lighting affects in order to

reflect upon our chosen genre which is soft rock and so we would have chosen bright lighting ,

although the song which we have chosen (Mad World by Gary Jules) is quite a slow and

disheartening song so as well as bright lighting we will also have some dark lighting to represent

this.

From these results, I can see that the most popular choice of advertisement on a CD is SocialNetworking Sites. The reasons for this is because social networking sites like Facebook and

Twitter allow people to design personal web pages in which they can promote themselves to

users and people of interest in the CD.

Because of this, people of interest will be able to get the latest updates of that person along with

be able to communicate with them.

Because of these results, my group and I will place links to our social networking pages on our CD

in order o try and appeal to those who want to have access to more information about our CD. Aswell as having a social networking site link, we will also have an iTunes link seeing as it was the

second most popular choice and we want to try an appeal to as many people as possible.

From these results, I can see that the majority of peoples most favourite was Design 3.

Design 3 had a unique design in which laid out the list in a clear and professional way which

suited the back panel an didnt ruin any form of imagery.

Because of this, we will use design 3 as a guide in order to help us design and finalise our back

From the results, I can see that the most popular choice was Design 3.Design 3 had an eye catching of primary image of the artist Gary Jules along with additional

information such as a web address, production information and lyrical content.

The image one without a doubt one of the reasons for this design being the favourite amongst

the others because the image was of the artist which informs viewers of who the album Is by

whilst also looking very bold and direct as the image is of him looking at you as if the album is

made for you. The additional information was also an influential factor as it provided the

audience with links of where to gain more information along with letting the audience know thatlyrics are included which will appeal to them.

From this, My group and I will now know what to include on our left inside panel in order to gain

a reputation that our draft version received.

From these results, I can that Design 1 was the most popular choice. Design 1 was the actual CD

design of our product and it consisted of the artists name Gary Jules along with the song titleMad World. The CDs primary image was of a black and white road which lead down into a

spiral. The ideal behind this design was very unique as the road represent the life path which

someone takes and with the added spiral effect, its connoted that life has its moments where

things spiral out of control which is what our songs is trying to represent.

From these results my group and I will now know what to use in our finalised product as this

design had a great interpretation behind it as well as appealing to an audience which finds the

design distinctive.

From the results, I can clearly see Design 4 was the most popular choice amongst our candidates.

Design 4s choice of imagery was exceptional in portraying the elements of out chosen genre of

soft rock as the images were related to our music video. An example would be that the front

panel consisted of our protagonist who was shaded in order to cover his identity whilst the

shadowing also connotes that the man is living in a dark atmosphere i.e. his own life. And with

this being said, it helps represent the soft rock genre as a theme like this is sure to have some

connection with life and problems which is what the genre is all about.

From this design we can implement many of the ideas from the draft in order to help represent

our chosen genre even further in or to help out product appeal to the audience.

From these results, I can see that a Close up was the most common camera shot. Close ups

consist of a shot that shows an item as a close distance. It is ideal for expressing some sort of

facial expression and emotion of a characters and is used widely in order to help portray this.

Having a close up of our artist will help represent our genre as it will show his looking miserable

and depressed, something rock does as it is a genre that toggles with emotions and life situations

and doing this will help our audience understand our genre and idea a lot more.

From these results, I can see that people said Yes in relation to if our designs represented our

artist. Because of this, we will most definitely implement the ideas from these designs into our

actual product. However we will develop on them more seeing as these were just drafts and so

doing so will ensure that our final product looks the part in representing our genre and our

chosen song as well as our story behind it.

From these results, I can see that Design 3 was the only one which stood out amongst the

audience representing our chosen artist. We wanted to get feedback from those who answered

no the previous question in order to gain an insight of which one stood out the most and why.

Design 3 was exceptional in expressing our artist through the use of its vast, striking imagery

along with its beautiful range of colour and from this we can gain some knowledge as what we

should implement from this design into our overall product in order to gain full audience

satisfaction as well as having a product that will appeal to a wide range of audience which is our

main aim.
