record-cover-design-research
Matthew Teagle conducted research on record covers from the indie/alternative rock genre to inform his own design. He analyzed both iconic and less famous covers to understand conventions. Key conventions included simplicity, still images sometimes featuring band members, varied but simplistic fonts, heavily edited grainy/gritty images with contrasts of light and dark using artificial lighting, and a central disc shape containing the image surrounded by artist and album name. His research aimed to identify similarities and differences to incorporate genre conventions into his own cover design.

Neorealism was a 1940s-1950s Italian film movement that aimed to depict realistic stories rooted in social issues, using non-professional actors and location shooting. It developed in response to World War 2 and sought to authentically portray Italian life at the time through spare camerawork, lighting and editing that avoided manipulation. Key aspects included using ordinary locations instead of studios and documentary-style cinematography to capture scenes from the streets.
Learning reflection
This document is a reflection from a student on a project about PTSD. Some key points:
1) The student learned about new technologies being used to treat PTSD, such as smartphone apps, and was surprised by the low standards for returning soldiers to active duty.
2) The student struggled to interview someone as planned but was able to find good information using online research tools.
3) Creating the Prezi presentation was the hardest part, but the student overcame this by studying other Prezis.
4) Reading books about war helped the student understand PTSD and choose their research topic.
Target audience research
The document summarizes research conducted with 5 people ages 17-23 about what attracts them to music magazines. Respondents said they are attracted to catchy designs and freebies on covers, enjoy interviews and articles about new bands. They find new music mainly through YouTube, friends and live shows. To feel closer to a magazine, most said social networks like Facebook and an interactive website would help. The conclusion is the magazine should have catchy covers with freebies, in-depth artist interviews, and involve readers through social media.

How do digipaks appeal to their audience?
Digipaks appeal to audiences through their unique album artwork that reflects the artist's style and music. They contain extra features for fans to engage with and take their own meanings from. Different people will interpret digipak designs depending on their background. The XX's minimalist black and white digipak for their debut album represented their subtle sound and melancholy style, appealing to fans who enjoy that aesthetic. Radiohead's digipak for "The Bends" used a low-quality photo reflecting their 90s indie rock sound, appealing to audiences seeking an alternative to mainstream pop music. Digipaks allow artists to connect with their target audiences through visual representations of their brand.
