Questionnaire for a Digipak Part 2

Question 1 Question 1 was all about finding the age range of those who answered my questionnaire. I wanted to have a different variety of ages as I figured having a wide range of age groups would lead to different answers.

The leading age group by 77% was the 16-18 age category. This is due to my target audience being youth between the ages of 15-20.

The other age percentages show that I had a wide range of different ages. This was effective as it showed I wasn't asking just one particular age group and I would get more different responses from each age range.

Question 2 This question, like the first was just to get a general idea about the audience who was answering the questions.

The questionnaire was answered by more females than males, but this maybe down to me knowing more females than males.

Question 3 This question got mixed up during the upload process and did not turn out how I wanted it too. Realistically I wanted people to say other and tell me their opinion on my design.

Those who did leave a comment didn't leave very detailed comments which I could annalyse well enough.

Question 4What I found from this was over half of those asked found that my digipak did work well and fit with our song choice.

Our song is in the indie genre and were are making it so that it symbolises youth.

As said before the majority of those who answered must have known the song which could tell me that those who said yes could be in the 16-18 age category.

One person commented that they were too Influced by Catfish and the Bottlemens album covers now to come not if my digipak fitted the song.

Question 5 This question was asking if people liked more designs that were simple or designs that had more going on on the cover made them complex.

Most people said they preferred a simplistic design. This conforms to my design which is very simplistic with just a. Picture and two pieces of font on.

However others did say that they performed having more complex ideas. This I will take I to consideration for future designs.

Question 6 There was not much division with the answers for this question. Out of the thirteen responses the one with the he most was bolder colours (bright colours).

I was pleased with this outcome as my own digipak was bold with dark and vibrant colours. However others proffered more muster colours (pastel). Age range does not play a major part here and it goes down to the person personal preference.

Question 7I was Interested to see what responses I would get from this question. With the different age range of people who answered I wasn't sure how many people would know what I digipak was. I was glad to see eye that two people admitted that they had no idea what they're were. This maybe more common with the older generations who were more used to record sleeves when they were younger.

However the majority of the answers I saw where that people never went out and brought digipak said. I think this steams with being able to download music very easily now, and it's not necessary to go out and buy a CD today.

Some responses did though suggest that people still do go and buy CDs still. That is often a characteristic of the indie subculture and that collective identity of still rolling the norms of the past. Such as going out a buying a CD instead of down loading.

Question 8 My design had a rather simplistic font on the cover. I dint want to have anything to complex.

The result of this question show that 54% of those who answered agreed with me and liked a simple font.

It was interesting to see that some people had chosen the option of not having a preference. I think if I was answering this question I would have chosen this answer, as if I was buying an album I wouldn't be put off by an album if I didn't like the font.

Question 9When buying a digipak there should be some sort of reference to what theme the album is. This should be obvious especially to new fans of a artists who may not know what previous themes the band have used for their albums.

Only three people disagreed and said that an digipak doesn't need to contain an symbolism of the theme. These people could have in the older age groups. Who answered and may not have much experience in buying CD's.

Question 10This question is more complex as I asked people to choose three of the opinions .The answers could be linked to the age of the person asnwering and the gender, as for example as a female of the age 18 I would want to see s pull out poster and a bands message to the audience.

Firstly it's clear that no one wanted to see a Q&A with the band as this option had 0%. This was disappointing..

There was a tied vote between Song details and a photoshoot of the band which received 62% each. This suggested that my audience were keen to know more about how the song was written and to a actually see what the band looked liked.The other three response had positive feedback aswell and all will be taken into account when we create our digipak.
