Digipak Update

This is the first draft of my digipak. 
I edited all my photographs in Photoshop, and then I put them all together and added the logo, barcode, and text in Illustrator. 
I decided to call my album 'Imaginarium' because I thought the 'Her Name is Alice' music video was quite dream-like and so Imaginarium describes that, and then I could really be creative with the photographs I took for my digipak. 
I took photographs of smoke and trees for the panels because they are both in the music video we created, so I thought it would be a good idea to link the digipak to the video, which is a common convention I noticed when analysing existing digipaks. Also I think they fit with the title 'Imaginarium' because it is quite mysterious and dark, which smoke and trees are. 
I decided to use the black and white colour scheme because I thought the music is quite dark and serious rock music, so I thought the black and white would reflect the music. 
I chose the track names because I thought they were all related to the album title Imaginarium so they look like they could be track names for this album. 
I then added the Atlantic Records logo as they are Shinedown's record label, and as we used their song, I thought they would be the best record label to use the logo of. 
I also put a barcode on the back because this is a common convention of digipaks. 

Overall I am happy with my first draft, and I will be asking my target audience for their feedback so that I can make improvements.
