Evaluation of CD cover

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Our CD Digipack uses the same intertextuality links that are poster did, as we used famous dancing poses throughout the Digipack. The front cover keeps the standard codes of a CD front cover, as it has the name of the artist, the name of the album, and the main central image. The back cover contains the tracklisting, whilst the inside pages have additional infomation, and some more images.

What have you learned from your audience feedback?
Again, our audiece feedback was positive, as it was felt that the front cover, in particular, captured the fun sense of the album, and is in interesting image. Whilst the inside and back pages have all the infomation that would be expected within a CD Digipack. Whilst the light-hearted images encorporate the feeling of the album.

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

When researching for our CD Digipack, we used other CD albums, for example I looked at albums by artists such as Kasabian and Eminem, so that we could look at the standard codes of a CD Digipack, and this would allow us to base our own work around these main themes.

When making the CD Digipack, we needed to take our own images. This was done using a digital camera. We also used the Photoshop program, to edit both the text and the images that we had taken.

In evaluating our CD Digipack, we recorded what people had to say using a dictaphone, and again used Microsoft Word to record what people had to say, so we could look at the underlying feeling of the CD Digipack overall.
