Here are some of the extra panels that I may decide to use in order create a 6 panel digipak. 

Digipak poster

Another draft of my digipak poster. I feel that in order to improve this version I will need to add some more photo manipulation, perhaps contrast of foreground and background which will be included in the final product label of my blog.

Digipak changes

After a photoshoot with the band, I have reconstructed my front cover as evidenced below. 

As well, I have reconstructed my back cover to make it more identifiable to the indie rock genre. 

3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Survey response analysis




This is a video with feedback I got on my initial pitch to several demographics. The video helpfully highlights aspects of my original ideas that people saw potential issues with.



What impact did audience research have in shaping my final product?

2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?

Digipak change - front cover

After showing my current digipak to numerous A Level Media Studies students, it became apparent to me that there were some issues with my product. Most importantly, very few students were unable to identify a specific genre to my front cover. Some people thought that it might even look like a grime artist's work. Furthermore, the use of fire in the background proved to be a distraction away from the main focus of the front cover - the lead singer. As a result, I have decided that I will be changing my front cover once again. It is vital that my digipak links to the genre of indie rock and in order to do this, I have conducted further research.

My continued research on indie rock bands has shown that the front cover often includes the band itself. This is due to the fact that bands of this genre enjoy playing to live audiences rather than in a studio. So, their representation is crucial to how fans and people around the world view them. An album cover can represent bands in ways they want and the album covers below are some that I will be taking inspiration from.
