How Encore is different.
Ask what they think of each picture.
Paperform can put images on answers to choose from, and its rating questions use icons. On an Encore Moodboard a client rates each picture from 1 to 10, picks what draws them in or puts them off, and can say why.
9 out of 10, and why
EncoreMoodboard
Picked, with no score
PaperformUp to 50 image options
Show two directions side by side.
A Comparison puts two options next to each other. A client picks one, then the next pair, and each pick comes back to you in Results with the option it beat. Paperform’s field types include no pairs.
