Digipak and Poster Feedback

After the previous feedback, I changed my design to allow me to get more marks. The change was very dramatic, but not too time consuming as I had the images on standby. 

I combined my advertisement together and focused mainly on the CD album and leave out the tour dates as most of them had passed. The main issue with not getting a higher grade was because it wasn't an obvious link to the music video, so I focused on using the powder paint - demonstrating a clear link between the tasks. I presented the changed products...

   

I asked several yes and no questions...

1) Do you like the contrast in my design with the use of more colour?

    Everyone said yes, one however, did say 'maybe a little too bright'

2) Is there enough variation in text sizes and are they clear to read?

    Everyone answered yes, one person added, 'and very clear to read, quite exciting', and another suggested 'the black text quotes could be a little larger'

3)  Do you like the use of graphic and the effects added?

    All asked agreed to the use of graphic and effects. 'I think it looks very professional' and 'Definitely - love the inside of the digipak!'

4) Do you think the layout of the advertisement is appropriate for it to be included in a magazine/newspaper?

    100% said yes to the layout being appropriate. 

5) Do you think the functionality of the digipak works well? (including the insert)

    They all liked functionality of the digipak and it's contents. Additional comments made were, 'it's fantastic' and 'yes, very accessible and easy without it easily falling out'

6) Do you like the use of social network links and icons in the advert?

    All agreed that the social network links were very appropriate with the times and were very effective.  'They are appropriate, yes, but makes that bottom left a little crowded'. To fix this problem I am going to adjust the bottom links and make it balanced either side. 

7) What aspects of the print material do you like? [comments split by commas]

Digipak - Follows conventions, colourful, very interactive, range of images, colours and images - makes it seem really fun and happy, insert booklet, insert booklet design, it's so bright and colour and well put together.

Advertisement - Colourful, makes the band really fun and lively, large eye catching image, the layout draws the eye to the photo - it's really good, smaller version of the digipak cover inserted, links and icons, looks very professional like a proper band poster and again, cheery and colourful 

8) What aspects of the print material could be improved? [comments split by commas]

Digipak - maybe the colour could be tinted or dimmed because it needs to be directed also to an older audience, some of the words look a little bit pixelated, the colour, quality of printer used - although I know the school computers are rubbish with printing, very saturated colours, Image of the front is the tiniest bit blurry 

[Regarding the pixelated images and text, despite making image the correct size in developing - like some of the answers mentioned the quality of the printer cannot be helped.] 

Advertisement - the colour, quite busy, font size 

9) Any additional comments please state below…

Any additional comments added was just praise to my work, 'I love it!' , 'Brilliant!' , 'Amazing!!' and 'It's awesome and colourful and I appreciate the hard work that went into it because I know it was a long and arduous journey'
