Band Names

Previously, the production team and I were trying to generate a list of names that could be possibilities for our band. We took our band's punk rock, pop, characteristics into consideration when producing the names and finally concluded with a few possibilities. However, as the production of the Digipak is an individual task, each group member has taken their own stance in their album cover, hence the variations in names and digipak style.

After generating a number of ideas within the group, I decided to create a 'Spider Diagram' to aid my decisions about the band name, my ideas and influences are shown in the image below.

In order to choose the name which is most appealing from the audience's perspective, I have decided to create a mini pole by asking my friends and family on the social networking site 'Facebook'.

Once again the results to the questionnaire was successful as ten candidates between the ages of 16- 21 answered the questions with their preferred pop rock band name. The results showed that a majority of the votes were in favour of the name 'The Rockweilers', this was shown by 7 out of 10 candidates voting for it. On the other hand, only three candidates voted for the name 'Eskimo Disco' and sadly no results were registered for the name 'Mayhem'. The majority of candidates also stated that the name ' The Rockweilers' was "...a clever name..." and that it "...appealed to a large audience..." and "conformed to the genre of Pop Rock...".
