Evaluation Question 2): How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?

Before making my three media products, it was absolutely necessary for me to find my intended audience. As I am a teenager/adult myself, i decided that my audience should be from middle social demographic group around the age of 18-30. I felt that this age group is more appropriate as it contains elements of romance/love/passion and it's something that people this age is more interested in. I have considered colours that will compliment with the mood of the music video and also applied it to my ancillary tasks. 


Both my magazine advert and digipak compliment each other very well and it also relate to the media product (music video).
In order to create these ancillary tasks, I have been through a lot of researched. From Professional to non-professional magazine adverts on the internet and even  from current and ex student's, these have given me ideas on how i'd like my magazine advert to look like. If you see from my previous posts on Magazine/Digipak Planning Research/Analyse you will find plenty of research that were carried out before the making of ancillary tasks. 
The magazine advert is very simple and basic but it is effective at the same time. I've used very basic and limited colours as in order to create something different it was vital that i challenge myself with 3 colours and a basic picture of the couple.The music video is about a couple in love and in their own world.  



Here is a comparison and analysis of my digipak.

Below is a presentation I've done using slide rocket where i have talked about certain things that links all my 3 tasks...



In order to find out how well my main product compliment with my ancillary task as well as each other, i have made a survey using survey monkey.


I even allowed people to come look at my blog and answer the survey from here too just in case they don't have Facebook.
Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world's leading questionnaire tool.


I have now received most of the feedback from the audience and have the results to what the audience think of the digipak and the magazine advert.


My first question on the digipak was for the audience to rate the digipak. From the results it's obvious that the majority thought it deserved a 4/5 which is good to see because using photo shop was not a simple task for a first time user like me and to be able to come out with such a fine work is pretty pleasing. It's also good to see that 40% believed it was a 5/5! 
The magazine advert was the first thing i learnt to create using CS3 Photoshop after watching various of tutorials. Having the majority of audience rating it 4/5 is also very shocking for me but it shows appreciation into my effort.
In this question there was a tie! Half of audience though that the colours was very well complimenting each other whereas the other half think that the colours are not too bad.
Again for me, this was shocking but absolutely encouraging to see that people have appreciated my piece of work not even realizing that i am a first time user of that technology. This shows that if i was a good editor and used to the software my ancillary task would definitively have been great! 
Audience feedback on the last question on what improvements they suggest was vital, this was because it helps me to know whether or not they have like my work and what else could i add or do to make it better for next time. Some said that the magazine cover should have been a different colour whereas some said that more red should have been added in order to show that this is a romantic music video's magazine advert. Apart from these criticism, which is helpful, the rest of the audience thought that it was a fine piece of work and both the ancillary tasks compliment each other very well as well as with the main product


Analysis of the audience feedback.


I converted the audience feedback wordle into  a jigsaw puzzle which is fun  and effective! here's the link: http://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=369b572562e7
