Digipak, Magazine advert and Webpage Questionaire

 I decided a bit more audiece research to allow me to develop the continuity of what else I was going to produce, creating a questionaire allowed me to see other peoples opinions and use them when creating my other pieces.

1.       What colours would you associate with the hip hop/pop genre?

2.       When thinking about a digipak/cd case what would you expect to see?

3.       If you saw a dull and un appealing digipak would you be entrigued to buy the CD? Yes or no?

4.       If yes, why?

5.       What would you expect to see in a hip hop/pop digi pak?

6.       Would you consider buying a CD by a Hip Hop/Pop artist? Yes or no?

7.       If no, what would you prefer?

8.       Do you think that the Digi Pak, Website and Magazine Advert of the artost would influence you buying the album in any way?

Amber:

1. Brighter colours, ones that stand out to for the genre - being quite bold.

2. On the cover I would obviously expect a picture, title of the album and the name of the artist. Then the back having the song titles, barcode and other information about the band. The pictures should relate to the songs within the album.

3. If I hadn't heard of the band then no, I wouldn't even bother looking at it. The albums that catch my eye are usually the ones that I would pick up and have a look at.

4. The overall advertisement should be appealing to audiences and should catch the eye. If it's boring then most likely the artist hasn't put at consideration towards the album cover.

5. The cover usually has a picture of the artist - usually close up. And has a quite plain back. But also at time they look plain overall with a small motif sometimes repeated on the front cover which relates to the songs. Which makes it look quite interesting.

6. Depending of whether or not I like the artist. I don't particularly like the genre as such. But some artists I quite like.

7. I would prefer something that is indie/alternative/folk.

8. Not really. The artist themselves should be appealing to audiences, rater than their distribution and advertising methods.
