Second artist survey

I did two sperate surveys, one in town and the other at school. For each of the surveys I asked 30 people, making 60 responses in total. The light purple blocks on the graph are show the responses from town and the dark purple blocks show the responses of school. Because there was mixed views on the online survey I decided to do another survey and see if I could get a better idea of what people liked to see on Digipaks.

For the first question I asked "Do you prefer male or female vocalists?" overall female artists were the favoured gender of vocalist and had a total of 27 out of the 60 responses chose female. Male vocalists only had a total of 11 responses out of the 60, showing that the were the least favoured out of the options. I gave an option of 'doesn't bother me' to see if people were overly bothered about the gender, this response got a total of 22 responses. These results show me that people don't really mind about the gender of the artist but if they had to choose they would go with the female option.

For this question I asked "What do you like to see featured on the cover of a Digipak?" I wanted to see if people preferred to have a picture of the band on the cover or if they liked to see somwething different, such as graphics or pieces of art. 17 of the responses said that they liked to see a photograph of the band/artist on the cover, 19 of the responses said that they liked to see graphics and art on the cover, and the remainding 24 said that they would like to see a mixture of both photos and graphics, making the cover more like a collage. This shows me that most people have moved on from the old style of simply having the band on the cover and would like to see something different and interesting. I think to make my cover appeal to a wide audience I will include both the artist and some art.

For this question I asked "When buying an album, does the design of the cover influence your buy?" 15 of the resonses said that if they saw a cover that interested them that they would be influenced to buy it. 19 of the responses said that the cover didn't influence them, they would only buy an album for the band and the music. 25 of the responses said that they were sometimes tempted to buy an album if it had an interesting cover but the artist would have to be in the same genre of the music they usually listen to and that they would prefer to know a few songs of the artist.
