Ancillery Audience Feedback

Audience of all ages and genders have been asked to give feedback on my ancillary music album draft. This will help improve my product as ideas and issues will be addressed further developing my creative process. The questions asked were ...

What do you think about the colour scheme of my album cover?

Do you like the font used? if not why ?

Do you like the cartoon visuals?

Would you pick up and look at this album cover?

What genre do you think this music cover is for?

Out of 10 how professional does my album look?

What are your liked and most disliked elements of my album cover?

What elements do you feel are missing from my album cover?

Overall how would you rate my album cover out of 10?

The feedback given to me was rather positive, audiences liked and praised my design. Elements which were most liked were the bright and vivid colour scheme, many said this would have attracted them to looking at my music album within a store. Other comments were that it looked very different and nothing like an album cover they have seen before. This can be interpreted as a negative as it implies my work doesn't resemble a professional digipak. On other hand it shows that my work is new and creative testing the conventions of an album cover.

The constructive feedback given was mostly to do with my font and missing features such as a spine and small print. The issues addressed with the font was that only one was used, an professional digipak would have used a variety of fonts. When redesigning my cover I need to research into existing texts and see how different fonts are placed and used.
