This document discusses the process of selecting artwork for an album cover. Photos were taken and heavily edited on Photoshop to achieve an abstract style. Two options were narrowed down based on discussions within the group. To make a final decision, the target audience was asked which piece they preferred, with approximately 66% choosing the artwork arrowed in grey. This was selected as the best option based on the majority vote.

Survey analysis
The survey analyzed responses from a primarily young audience aged 11-24. It found that 60% of respondents were female and 40% male. When planning their album materials, the surveyors learned that the audience highly values album artwork featuring the band/artist and narrative-driven music videos focused on the song. This information will guide the surveyors' design of the album digipak, magazine advertisement, and music video to best appeal to their young, gender-balanced target audience.
Survey analysis
The survey results showed that the majority (84%) of the audience was young people aged 11-24. It also found that 60% of the audience was female and 40% was male. When asked about album artwork, the picture of the band was most appealing but cannot be used since the band members are dead. An abstract image or tribute photo were alternative options. The survey also provided information about preferences for digipak design features, magazine ad content, and narrative focus in music videos. This data will inform the design of the band's digipak, magazine ad, and music video.
PRODUCTION: Ancillary Tasks
The document discusses the planning and production of a digipak and magazine advertisement for the band Coldplay and their album Parachutes. It provides details on the research conducted on popular styles of digipaks in the alternative genre and decisions made on the design of the Coldplay digipak based on that research. This includes choosing a 6 gatefold style, including a wallet to store lyrics, and using abstract artwork inspired by Alt-J's digipak design. Plans and mockups are presented for the digipak components as well as a magazine advertisement layout and the software used to create the designs.
Magazine Poster: Audience Feedback and Analysis
This is a presentation on our audience feedback and a general analysis of focus group questionnaires. These were fundamental to my groups deciding on our end print product. Enjoy!
2. fmp research (1)
The researcher conducted product research by analyzing existing gaming magazines online to understand effective designs. Questionnaires were distributed to friends on Facebook to gather audience preferences for the new product. Interviews were also conducted with a friend to get direct feedback on a poster design. Strengths included getting quick responses, but weaknesses included limited sample sizes that may not represent all gamers and potential for joking responses. Expanding the surveys publicly could provide a broader understanding of the target audience.
Magazine advert planning and production
The document summarizes the process of designing a magazine advertisement for an artist. It describes taking initial photos of the artist, but finding the lighting was too bright, so changing to spot lighting. It then outlines creating a black background and adding lens flares and typography in stages. Photos of the artist portray mixed emotions to represent the song "Mad World." The final design overlays the artist's hands on the face photo for more impact and changes the font.

7. evaluation
The document summarizes the student's process of creating a magazine cover and double-page spread for a class project. Some key points:
1) The student researched different magazine styles which helped with layout ideas and color schemes. However, they forgot to research existing double-page spreads.
2) Planning went well for the cover but many inside pages had to be cut due to space.
3) Time management was improved from past projects, allowing cover and layout to be completed early.
4) Peer feedback was positive about colors and image overlapping but noted the writing could be clearer. The student agreed with some points but disagreed about changing the title size.
Magazine advert planning and production
The document describes the process of designing a magazine advertisement. It began with creating flat plans and taking photos of the artist, including adjusting lighting to properly expose the face. Typography and additional details were added in subsequent stages. The final design features an overlay of the artist's hands on the face photo for added impact. It aims to convey mixed emotions through the black and white color scheme and expression, all informed by audience research.
Q3 - Audience Feedback
- The group gained feedback at various stages of editing their music video and other products from their target audience to improve the work.
- Feedback suggested shortening repetitive shots in the video and adding brighter lighting. This feedback was used to reshoot footage.
- Later feedback indicated some shots could be brighter and use more vibrant colors, and include more close-ups of the couple and less of the artist.
- Audience surveys found the video told the story well through a mix of performance and narrative shots with consistent pace.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses how maintaining consistency across ancillary promotional materials like music videos, magazine ads, and album covers/digipaks can increase the promotional value and sales of a music product. It provides examples of bands like Coldplay that influenced the layout and style of the magazine ad and digipak by keeping the same font and photography. The document also outlines the process of researching other bands in the indie rock genre like Arctic Monkeys to determine the best creative decisions for advertising an indie rock image and style.
Creative Brief - Photoshop
This document provides a creative brief for an album cover. It discusses that album art has a big influence on music purchases. The goals are to appeal to the target customer base by making the genre evident, develop Photoshop skills, and create cover art in two sizes - one for digital and one for print. A mood board of indie album covers is presented, noting most are simple with occasional nature images. Band/artist names are clear and text is often handwritten-style.

For the final design, they overlaid the artist's hands on the photo to add impact and changed the font.
Evaluation question 3
From analyzing the results of questionnaires given to their audience about two ancillaries created to promote a product, the document summarizes what they have learned. They received positive feedback on both ancillaries representing the soft rock genre through their color schemes, fonts, and camera shots used. While most elements were effective according to respondents, a few comments pointed to small ways the magazine advert could be improved for clarity or matching the genre better. Overall, the feedback showed the ancillaries successfully conveyed the intended depressing and saddening themes to most of their target audience.
Evaluation question 3
From audience feedback questionnaires, the group learned that both their CD digipak and magazine advert successfully represented their chosen genre of soft rock and themes of depression. The majority of respondents across genders and ages felt the color scheme, images, fonts and constant design elements conveyed the intended feelings. Only minor issues were noted, such as potential confusion over one inside panel image and mixed opinions on the primary magazine image. Overall, feedback showed the ancillaries effectively portrayed the group's goals.
Audience feedback
The document summarizes audience feedback from a survey about a music magazine production. Most respondents had a positive opinion of the production and thought the front cover was the preferred product element. The images were the most popular feature because of their quality. Respondents mostly had no problems with the magazine designs, though one commented that the coverlines could be larger. When asked about the genre, most thought it was an indie-rock magazine, which was the intended genre.
3. research(1)
The research found that:
- Most audiences preferred designs featuring characters and assets from the games.
- A majority preferred cartoon-style designs over realistic designs.
- Strategy games were the most popular genre.
- Audiences wanted behind-the-scenes videos to learn about game development.
To appeal to this audience, the products will use recognizable game assets in a cartoon style, focus on advertising a strategy game, and include a behind-the-scenes video on game development.

Thank you for sharing your perspectives. Based on the interviews, it seems audiences generally expect game merchandise designs to feature recognizable characters, symbols or assets from the games being advertised. They also expect news pages to provide informative interviews and gameplay details. This research will help me design appealing products that meet audience expectations.
Print project proposal
This proposal outlines a project to create a gaming magazine targeted at male and female gamers ages 15 to 18+. The proposed magazine would focus on new, popular video games for PlayStation and discuss gaming trends, hardware, and software. Research plans include analyzing existing gaming magazines like PC Gamer, PlayStation Official Magazine, and Xbox Magazine to gather design ideas and content inspiration. The proposal provides a basic schedule and bibliography to support further research and development of the gaming magazine concept.
Digital Graphics pro forma (with improvements)
The document discusses different types of digital graphics, including raster graphics, vector graphics, and various file formats.
Raster graphics are made up of pixels arranged in a grid, with a fixed resolution. They can lose quality when resized. Vector graphics use paths defined by points, lines, and curves that can be resized without losing quality.
JPEG is best for photographs and websites due to its small file size but loses quality with multiple edits. TIFF maintains quality but has large file sizes. PSD saves layers and transparency but only works in Photoshop. AI is for logos and scalable images while 3DS is an industry standard format for 3D modeling.
The document also includes evaluations of different image manipulation tasks
2. research
The document analyzes existing game covers for Fallout 4, Cyberpunk 2077, and Destiny 2. It examines design elements like color palettes, imagery, and information included. Research also looked at older Fallout 2 packaging. Interviews and surveys provided feedback on pricing, graphics quality, and preferences for simplistic versus complex designs. This research informed development of a game cover targeted towards an 18+ audience interested in open world games from companies like Bethesda.
Questionnaire Result Analysis
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire the author conducted on their first digipack design for their target audience of 13-24 year old males and females. Most respondents did not like the album artwork on the front cover and commented that it was too plain and did not reflect the genre of music. The majority liked the font used but some wanted it larger. Most also liked the color of the red font used. Suggestions to improve the design included adding a picture of the artist and making the text bigger. Respondents had mixed views on the proposed box structure with some noting logistical problems, leading the author to decide a simpler conventional structure would be better.
Audience research
The document discusses audience research conducted to inform the creation of promotional materials for a trailer, magazine, and poster targeting young people aged 15+. The research involved developing questions on the synopsis, poster, and magazine to ask the target audience through social media and in-person. Over 20 people provided feedback on their preferences. The results will be used to design final products that appeal to the target audience.
Audience Feedback: Digipack
The document summarizes audience feedback from participants on a digipack designed by Nicole Harman-Smith and Heidi Nockels. When asked what first attracted them to the digipack, most participants pointed to the front cover design, pink smoke effect, mirrored 'Unhinged' font, and color scheme. When asked what music genre it represented, most said electronic due to its simplicity and font. Participants generally liked the front cover image but some said it was too busy. They enjoyed the simplicity, colors, cover design, and fonts. Areas that could be improved included making the front cover clearer and changing some fonts. Overall, the feedback was positive and showed the designers successfully represented an electronic music style.
How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
1) The author created a digipak, posters, and music video to promote a band. There is continuity between the elements through consistent use of color, themes, and artwork.
2) The digipak, posters, and music video each feature mysterious, uncertain imagery in shades of pink and red to match the band's style.
3) Continuity between marketing elements helps audiences recognize the products and attracts the right target audience. It makes the products seem more cohesive and appealing.
Conventions
This document summarizes Alex Townsley's media product which is a digipak for the band Alt-J. The digipak challenges conventions in several ways: the artwork is abstract rather than showing the band; iconic imagery from the music video is edited for the CD/DVD rather than using the standard front cover artwork. The posters also challenge conventions by focusing on a narrative about domestic violence rather than more typical band promotion. The music video similarly challenges conventions through its shocking domestic violence storyline and use of unconventional camera techniques like breaking the 180 degree rule. Overall, the digipak and accompanying materials challenge conventions in their artwork, narrative choices, and filming style.
Digipak final
The document summarizes the design choices for a digipak album cover for the band Alt-J. The front cover features artwork that fans found appealing and reflected the band's mysterious sound. For continuity, the back cover uses the same image but a different part. Inside pages continue the artwork and include a sleeve with lyrics and photos. The CD and DVD designs feature edited images from a music video to keep similar colors throughout the digipak design.
Images for tour poster
We are looking for images to use on a tour poster promoting an upcoming concert tour. The poster will feature the band's name and tour dates in a large font at the top, with smaller text and images below highlighting the different cities on the tour. We need high resolution photos that capture the energy and excitement of the band's live show to help sell tickets.

Pitch
The document discusses plans for a music video and album cover for the band Alt-J. It chooses the song "Breezeblocks" which tells a story of an abusive relationship. Research found the target audience is ages 16-25 who prefer alternative music. Two characters, Thom and Autumn, are introduced who fit the target profile. Locations of a house and woods are selected - the house tells the relationship story and woods is for a chase scene. The album design folds out unconventionally and features lyrics. The music video follows the female character through close-ups and a chase, using techniques to show emotion and vulnerability while the band performs. It ends on her cliffhanging expression.
Magazine advertisements
This document analyzes and compares three different magazine advertisements for music bands.
The first advertisement is for Friendly Fires and targets 17-20 year olds. It effectively represents the band as attractive to sell their album by using connotations from the location that suggest the music is lighthearted.
The second is for Band of Skulls and targets a wider 17-30 audience since it mentions 7" vinyl. It lacks showing the band but effectively uses an image of fire to make the audience remember the single title.
The third is for Blink-182 targeting a wide 16-35 range since they have been together over 20 years. It is concise by immediately showing key details but could be improved by

Existing products (Contents pages)
The document discusses existing research on the design elements of a music magazine. It finds that:
1) A red, black, and white color scheme creates a feeling of simplicity and conciseness that appeals to the target audience.
2) A mixture of posed and naturalistic photos provides a good balance of stories and intimacy between artists and readers.
3) The target audience prefers more images than text based on research, a style this magazine employs.
Existing product research (front cover)
The front cover of the magazine uses various design elements to appeal to its target audience. The large central photograph dominates the cover and uses a color scheme of black, white, yellow, and red to convey a sense of danger and recklessness. Short text and an informal writing style create a casual tone. The slanted layout and mix of fonts give an unorganized, rebellious feel. Together, these visual and textual elements are aimed at the magazine's target readership.
Institutions
Bauer would be the preferred media institution to distribute the magazine because they have extensive experience distributing magazines for large audiences in similar genres. As a large, established company founded in 1875, Bauer connects with 19 million consumers weekly through influential brands like Kerrang!, Mojo, and Q. Bauer has successfully developed magazines into broader media platforms, as seen with Kerrang! Radio, suggesting they could also help expand the new magazine beyond print to radio, television, and other outlets to reach an even larger audience.

Creating Artwork
- 2. Artwork In order to find a suitable piece of artwork for the album cover we thought it would be a good idea to go around taking photos of random things and heavily edit them on Photoshop to give them the weird and abstract design that we are hoping for to follow the Alt-J conventions. Below are the original photos that we took.
- 3. Edited ideas
- 6. Narrowing down the choices After a lot of discussion within the group we narrowed our choices down to the two below. Our reasons for these two are that we feel they suit Alt-J, and Alt-J’s audience. In order to choose just one of the two we will ask our target audience.
- 7. Decision In order to come to a conclusion we asked our target audience the simple question. ‘Which piece of artwork do you prefer?’. The results are displayed below. Approximately 33% of people chose the artwork arrowed purple on the chart – and approximately 66% chose the artwork arrowed grey on the chart. In conclusion to this and our own personal opinions we feel that the piece of artwork with the majority of the votes is the best.
