CD Cover Front 1

In order for my products to look uniform, I have decided to use the same image that is on my poster. This will allow my audience to see that the two products are linked and the poster obviously is advetising the CD.

Feedback:

Amy Pass- I like how you have used the same image that you used on your poster. However, I feel that the poster is too basic and that the font is too big, and therefore makes the CD cover look even more bare because it looks like you have tried to hide it.

Alex Machin- CD covers are conventionally quite bare, as there is not much that are usually included, however I feel that your CD cover is trying to look as though it is not bare, when really it is.

Megan Marlow- I would make the artists name smaller as I feel that it is too big in comparison to the rest of the CD cover.

Charlie Clarke- This CD cover looks very unprofessional and not very well thought out. I would think about rearranging your CD cover to find the best combination of size and layout.

Rachel Hilton- In comparison to your poster, this CD cover is very bare. However, bare is not always a bad thing. I just feel that you need to rethink your sizing of text.

I completely agree with this feedback and I will make any changes that are necessary.

Video Feedback for my poster

Poster Development 6

From my last poster, all of my feedback stated that I needed an outline around my artists name and that my song title needed to be bigger. I therefore decided that I would make these changes. However, I decided not to seek feedback at this point for my poster, due to there not being any different feedback last time. Although, if I feel it necessary, or my own mind changes about my poster, then I will seek feedback and make any changes that myself or my taregt audience see relevant.

Poster Development 5

After receiving feedback on my last poster that my poster needed more white on it, I decided that I was going to incorporate a little white into my poster as if I used too much white, then my text at the bottom wouldnt stand out, and if I didnt use enough, then the text would look odd.

I have added a white outline to my text 'BoysBoysBoys' so that it stands out against the grey background. I personally feel that this thin white outline has incorporated the white a little more, and also makes the poster look more professional. I have also put a purple glow around the text at the bottom of my poster, so that it ties in with the purple colour scheme.

Feedback:

Amy Pass- Your poster, to me still seems to not draw my eye to the name of the artist. However, I do feel that your white outline around the song name has made a positive difference. It now looks more attractive and also incorporates more white into your poster.

Alex Machin- The purple glow around the date has made it appear more like a part of the poster now, due to the glow and the actresses dress being the same colour. Due to your purple glow and white text being on a black background, it really stand out and is eye catching. However, I feel that your song name could be bigger to draw more attention.

Rachel Hilton- In order to improve  I would consider putting some sort of black outline around the artists name and I would also make the song title bigger, because then these two things will be what stands out to the audience.

Charlie Clarke- To me, the font at the top of the page doesn't stand out- I feel that this is what is letting the poster down.

Poster Development 4

After confirmation from my target audience that my chosen colour scheme was the correct choice, I have decided to continue with my further development of my poster. I have made the necessary changes that I received in my feedback and hopefully I have made the necessary changes that will therefore my product more appealing to my target audience.

I have made the font at the bottom of the poster white, so that it is easier to read. This was the main criticism that I received from my last poster. I will now seek feedback from my target audience to see what other changes I could make to my poster to enhance it further.


Feedback:

Amy Pass- Your poster looks much better now that the text at the bottom of the poster is white, as it contrasts against the image you have used. In order to improve your poster further, I would consider making all of your text stand out more.

Alex Machin- The font at the top of the poster now doesn't seem to stand out as much now that the font as the bottom is bright. Therefore I would consider some sort of outline or the background to be a block colour in order to make your artist name to stand out.

Rachel Hilton- I feel like more white needs to be incorporated into your poster now that your text is white. Having said that, too much white will make the text not stand out as much, I feel that your colours need to be mixed together more.

Megan Marlow- I feel that the poster still looks unprofessional due to the lack of outlines on your poster. I feel that if your texts were outlined, then it wold look more professional as the little details would draw more attention to your image and your text.

I will now make any necessary changes to my poster.

Colour Change?

After receiving feedback from my previous poster, I decided that I should see whether I made the right choice in changing my colour scheme. I have have mixed reviews about my colour scheme and therefore I decided to see whether my poster would have looked better if I had chosen a different colour.

Current Colour Scheme:

Colour Change One (Previous Colour Scheme):
                                                    

I asked 20 people from my target audience to look at the different poster mock ups I have created and then to feedback on which colour I should choose as my final colour scheme. I am doing this because I changed my colour scheme previously, and I just wanted to ensure that I made the right choice in changing my colour scheme and if not, what colour my target audience would have preferred me to use.

The majority of people chose thought that my new colour scheme was the best colour scheme and that I made the right choice in changing it, the general reaction was that the colour was neither masculine nor feminine and therefore the song was ambiguous.

The colour scheme that came second was the red colour scheme. The feedback that this poster received was that the poster stood out and was very vibrant, and hence more eye catching. The colour scheme that received the worst feedback was the yellow colour scheme as it made my poster look dull.

Poster Development 2

My previous poster's lack of colour meant that it looked very dull and boring. Another problem was that my actress didn't stand out from the background and so I had to design a technique that would bring a little colour to my poster and also make my actress stand out.

After receiving feedback that my first poster had too much colour, and that my second colour had too little colour, I thought that it was best not to have my actress in colour, but instead just her dress to be in colour, to emphasise her femininity. Also, the font overlaps my actress and therefore, if she was in colour the font would be much harder to read.

Feedback:

Amy Pass- I really like how the dress is in colour as it emphasises the fact that she is female, and this contrasts the title of the song 'BoysBoysBoys'. I feel that the splash of colour has brightened up your poster and made it look more interesting. However, I do still feel that the font could stand out a bit more, especially the font that states the date.

Rachel Hilton- I think that by having the dress as a colour, you are drawing the audience's eye to the actress and therefore she stands out. The text at the bottom of the poster is hard to read, and therefore for a development I would consider making the font a different colour so that it is easier to read.

Alex Machin- I really like the colour that you have chosen for your poster. I feel that the dress is very eye catching, and therefore the actress stands out, even though she is the same colour as the background. I even like the fairy lights in the background of the image as it makes the poster look a little 'grubby', but I feel that this will appeal to a wider audience as her location, and therefore her are shown to be 'perfect'

Meg Marlow- I like the image used, even though she isn't smiling, she gives the poster a professional look, as I feel that if she looked too happy, then she may give the poster a cheesey look, that would not match your chosen song. For a development, I would consider changing the appearance of your text, as it can be quite difficult to read.

I will now take into consideration the feedback given and make any appropriate changes.
