THE DIGIPAK.

We took alot of photos for our digipak's, I picked out four of the most strongest photos ans couldn't decide which of the four i should use, so instead i used all four. This changed my idea of having just one image, as shown on the mock-up.

- i think that using four different images will make my album cover look different and unique, as usually there is only one main image on the front of an album cover.

-using photoshop, I experimented with different effects to see if it would make the image look better and more professional.

-this effect is called 'Crosshatch', it makes the images look slighty cartoon, which adds to the idea of being 'different and standing out from the crowd'.

-then i used this site called rollip.com and found an interesting effect in the 'Classics' category. This effect makes the images look quite vintage and i think it goes well with the colour scheme of black, white and purple. Also, as the colour of the image is not that bright, the text will stand out more.

- I started off with the images with the cross hatch effect and a white background and decided that it looked really plain and didn't stand out at all..

-then i used the images with the classic effect and a black background, which made it look more appealing.

- i wanted my digipak to look quite simple, with not alot going on, making it look too busy. So i put splat shapes to make it look a bit edgy and fun, but keeping it still quite simple with the basic colours and fonts.

- meh, then decided that the splats looked a bit childish, so i used triangle shapes instead and added another image of the artist using the same effect as the one on the front of the album.

AND HERE IS THE FINAL DIGIPAK (:
