Task F Part 2 - Hand Drawn Digipak and Magazine Ad Feedback

After creating the mock ups of the digipak and magazine advert, I asked people to give their opinions on both of them. In this part of the blog, I have recorded their opinions.

Digipak:
 
For the mock up of the digipak, I was given a mixture of positive feedback and constructive criticism.

Positive feedback: 

• 'I like how there are pictures in the digipak both of the artist and of things relating to the theme of the album.'
• 'Variety is shown because you have a range of different pictures in the digipak.'
• 'I like how you have a picture relating to the theme of the album on the front cover. This will tell the audience the mood of the album before they even open it.' 

Constructive criticism: 

• 'It would have been more clear of the mood of the album if you had done a quick sketch of the type of picture you wanted to go on the front.'
• 'It would maybe be better to have a picture of the artist on the front of the album. That way, the audience can tell whose album it is that they are buying straight away.'
• 'You could have listed the tracks on the back of the mock up instead of just writing track listing as it would have made the mock up look a bit more organised.'

Magazine Advert:

For the magazine advert, I was given a mixture of positive feedback and constructive criticism.  

Positive feedback:

• 'There is a clear layout on the advert. This makes the advert look organised.'
• 'The name of the artist and album at the top of the advert is good as it tells the audience whose album it is.'
• 'The picture of the artist is clear so it makes it clear to the audience whose album they could be going out to buy.'

Constructive criticism: 

• 'The magazine advert seems a bit bare. Maybe you should have a few more pictures of the artist on there to make it stand out a bit more.'
• 'You could have made the tracks available on the album stand out a bit more so it is obvious to the audience which songs are on the album.'
• 'You could maybe have put the name of the artist and album at the bottom of the advert so it is with the other information and so it looks a bit more organised.'
