What is the purpose of evaluating a product? Who will be involved in your evaluation? How will you use the data from your evaluation? What possible changes will you make depending on the results? How will you determine if you have conducted a good evaluation?
The purpose of evaluating a product is to specifically see what others think about your album
cover. In evaluation you ask others questions about their opinion and whether they would buy the album or not, and if they were to buy the product why would they. Using the data from your evaluation you can then either make changes to the cover or maybe even use their thoughts as referance to other products that you may want to create.

If you have good questions,conversating can help you with different ways that you may want to fix in future products that you want to create.

Blog Entry #2.18- Greeting card 2 (BD)
the elements of the card that is suppose to appeal the consumer is the Print on the front which invites them to the festival. Also the words in the inside tries to interest the person in the festival.
The only thing different about this sketch and the card is the front I changed the pictures because on the card i wanted to illustrate how the festival would sinse the card was kind of an invitation.
Blog Entry #2.17- Greeting card 1 (BD)
This card is less appealing because most children might think the picture is to dull and not exciting
To improve this card i would maybe try to add more color and fun pictures. But other then that everything is good the qoute is easy for the child to understand.
Blog Entry #2.16_greeting card 1 (BD)
The photo of the cupcakes is suppose to inspire kids to celebrate the holiday with fun. The cupcakes is also an example of a activity kids can do at the festival , they could bake cup cakes.
For the sketch i actually drew a picture of morracans. I also translated the quote in the card to Sapnish.
