1. Explain what you have been researching and for what reason?
I have been researching into CD packaging and i have been looking into previous CD covers by EXAMPLE to find out what he has on his CD covers. I then looked into the conventions of a CD package so that i had more knowledge of what i needed to put on my own cover. I then chose one of examples cd covers and asked some people what they thought was the good and bad points of the cover. I then looked at some actual packages of cds to get a idea for my package. Once i had made my design i showed it to a focus group to see what they thought.
2. What were the findings from the research?
In my research i found out that on EXAMPLES cd covers he has a picture of him, his name and also the album name. and that they are normally very colourful. Whilst looking at the conventions i found out all of the normal things you would see on a cd package for example things like the Track List, Album Name, Record Label ect. When i looked into EXAMPLES “ I CREATED DISCO” cover i got a focus group to look at it and give me some feedback on what they thought was good and bad about the cover and i noted these down on my blog. I also looked into different types of packaging so that i could get some ideas of how my package will look.
3. How will these findings affect your idea?
All of this research will help me because i now know what should be on a CD package. the primary research also helped me because i know what people like and dislike about EXAMPLE’S previous work so i know what to do and also what not to do. This all came together to help me make a mental picture of what people liked and then i was able to replicate that in my work. The research i did into the packaging made me think that i needed to come up with a more intricate design because there wasn’t anything like that on the market.
