For draft 3 of our digipak, we printed off the digipak and put it in a case to then show other people. We asked them on two separate sheets at genre they thought our music package was based off of the sheet. The first sheet indicated that most people were split between either grunge (which is our genre) or heavy metal which does share some more of the extreme horror type imagery with grunge. For our second one, grunge wasn’t included so the majority of people went for alternative / rock which does also have ties to grunge in terms of the social and political contexts behind the genres being similarly born out of social conflicts and mistrust of the government.
In future I will hold different kinds of votes among random audience members in order to gauge how accurate my products are to the genre that I am trying to convey and to avoid any mismatching messages to the audience regarding the product.
