This is just a quick update on my digipak. I've been working on it for a while now, and I've decided to do a post about the different things I have been doing to create the different images for my digipak.
This is the editing process I used to create the panels I have with the trees. The photograph above is the original photograph I took, and then I cropped it and edited it to make it fit with my black and white colour scheme. The editing process is shown in the photograph below in the panel on the right.
This is the photograph I have edited of the band to be used on the back panel, and I chose to do this because on the digipaks I analysed, most of them had a photograph of the band on the back. I also think this is a good idea because the point of the digipak is to promote the band, and I think having a photograph of the band on the digipak helps to show who the band are and what their image is so that people associate the band members with the music, making the target audience more likely to follow the band and buy more of the music and merchandise. The photograph I used was one that I took on the day we filmed the music video, so it is in the same location. I think this is a good idea because people may have seen the video and then see this picture and associate the photo with the video, making them more likely to buy the CD if they remember liking the music video.
This is the disc design that I have created. I found it difficult at first to crop it into the shape I wanted, but I experimented with different layers, googled how to do it, and eventually I managed to do it. I am happy with how it has turned out, and when I put the whole digipak together in Adobe Illustrator I will give it a black outline so that it stands out like a disc would in a digipak. Again, the editing processes I did are on the right in the panel.
These are the photographs I have edited of smoke for my panels. I created them by cropping them, adjusting the levels, making them black and white, adjusting the colour balance, inverting the colours, and then changing the brightness and contrast levels. I will use the first photograph for the background on the back panel, the second for my front cover, and the third for my inside panel.
