From this pie chart it is apparent that people find the artwork of the cover to be the most appealing. From this percentage that were asked, I also asked whether they preferred a photo or something drawn / animated. From these asked, the majority (68%) said that they preferred a photo - with one mentioning that it makes the cover look more attractive to the fans. From this evidence, I am going to use a photo on the front cover whilst making the font a secondary attraction.
This question proved to be more one-sided than I though it was going to be. The majority of the people asked (50%) said that they much preferred to only have the artwork and the name of the artist / album on the front cover, instead of any information about the record label or what the album includes. This surprised me as I thought that the fans would be interested as to information based on the record label or other aspects of the CDs production, however this was not the case. So, from this I have gathered that it is better to keep the cover clear of any additional information.
From the two questions which I have selected to be analysed, it is apparent that the best CD covers are made with a good photo as the base of the cover, and for there to be little information regarding the record label or contents of the cover. With these two facts coupled, it will give me a greater chance to create a front cover that will be appealing to the general public.
