Artefact 2 Research

For the rest of my artefacts I will be creating a mock music advertising site with 3 variations. The first one I will make will contain still images, the second will be still images with slideshows and other pieces of movement, and the final one will contain video and more interactive elements. I will then ask people to try the website and see which one people are more willing to buy from.

I have been researching into the layout of different music download sites and was surprised to find that the majority of them contain just still images, and occasionally some slideshows. This fits in with my survey responses where the majority of people said that they would prefer just a still image for an advert.

Below are screenshots of Spotify and iTunes, both of which use still images, iTunes also has one slideshow on each page but no video.
