Evaluation Question

1. Evaluation Question 1
In what ways does your media product use,
develop or challenge forms and
conventions of real media products?

2. When analysing other artists’ digipaks and
magazine adverts, as well as completing
research into multiple others, our main
focus was ensuring that we knew
everything that they both must include and
making sure that they were included on
ours.

3. What a digipak must include:
Front Cover Back Cover
• Artist Name
• Album Title
• Barcode
• Track list
• Production
Company
Name/Logo
• Copyright
Information

4. What a magazine advert must include
and could include:
Must Include
• Artist name
• Album title
• Image of digipak
front cover
• Release date
Could Include
• Production
company/record label
name and logo
• Ratings
• Quotes
• Where to purchase
• What it includes

5. We used a lot of the information we had
learnt in our research to inform our
decisions about our digipak and magazine
advert.
After coming up with our initial design for
the back cover of our digipak we then had
to include all the things that we knew had to
feature.

6. One of these things was the copyright
information, we knew that this was
compulsory to include but also knew that it
was often printed extremely small, so this is
what we did, we positioned our information
central at the bottom of the page and so it
became a part of our design.

7. Another of the things we had to include was the
barcode, we knew it had to be a reasonable
size but we didn’t want it to become a feature of
the digipak and so we decided to put it in the
bottom right hand corner. By doing this it was as
big as compulsory but not too big that it took the
attention away from the track list which is the
focus of our back cover.

8. For our magazine advert
the main thing we learnt
from our research and
then incorporated into the
design was the use of the
digipaks front cover. We
wanted the audience to be
able to immediately
identify what was being
advertised even if they
were only quickly flicking
through the magazine.
