Ancillaries: Final Ancillary Feedback.
14:09After creating my final Ancillaries I decided to get some final feedback on the outcome. I held a small discussion group of 4 people and passed around the hardcopy version of each ancillary. After letting everyone have a look at the outcome, I asked everyone a few questions and we discussed the outcome together. I noted down answers to the questions and anything else discussed that was useful to me.
Here were the main questions asked:
What is your favourite part of the products?
- 'I would say my favourite part is the drawing of the hands because it's original'.
- 'My favourite part are the theme of flowers throughout'.
- 'I really like the colours because they are unique'.
- 'I think the whole think looks really professional'.
Is there anything you would improve?
- 'No, not really I think you've pretty much got everything you need'.
- 'I would've maybe added some more art on the inside cover of the Digpak but I can see why you've kept it simple'.
- 'No nothing at all'.
- 'No, it's perfect.'
Do you think it fits into the genre of Indie?
- 'Yeah it does because it's really unique'.

How effective is the Digipak?
- 'Really effective, I can see the look you were going for and you have achieved it.'
- 'It is a bit simple but yeah I think that's a good thing'.
- 'Yeah it is effective and looks real'.
- 'It's got a really good appeal to it.'
Do you think the imagery used is appropriate for the type of media?
- 'I think you took a risk with using illustrated drawings rather than a photo of the artist but I think it's genre appropriate'.
- 'Yes definitely, I love the hands and the flowers'.
- 'Yeah it's appropriate'.
- 'I really like the whole look of it.'
Does it look authentic?
