5. The audience
Conor Maynard performs and sings pop songs. As a genre, pop music is
very eclectic. It normally includes short-to-medium length songs, written in
a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as the common
employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and catchy hooks.
The image of Conor Maynard at the front of
the cover shows that he is wearing a leather
jacket with a hoodie underneath it. And also
because the hoodie sticks out from
underneath his jacket it shows a rebellious
side of Conor which would appeal to the
youth culture.

6. What are the features of the digipak
Each panel of the digipak has a different picture and the
title of the album. This is very useful as they audience can
then decide to place whatever front cover that they would
like to put on. This would appeal to creative young
females who like Conor Maynard. They could also use it
as a poster and stick it around their rooms which would
make the target audience buy it more.
