Development of Digipaks: Front Cover

Draft 1:

To create my digipaks I first made the background cream. I decided to use the colour cream as I liked how it complimented well against the colours white and back. I then placed a white rectangle in the center of the page. After this I then placed a black rectangle around the top half of the rectangle, and I did this so that I would have an idea of where to place my image.

Draft 2:

I next decided to place the artist's initials and the album's name on my cover. I decided to place them on the bottom half of the white rectangle, so this could suggest the idea of a poliard. I decided to use the font 'From Where We Are', as it was thick and bold against the rectangle. Additionally, I decided to use this font as it was a handwriting style and this could further infer how the artist had placed a personal touch on the product.

Draft 3:

I then decided to place my chosen image into the space of the back rectangle. I decided to use a medium close up shot of my main actor flickering her hair. I decided to do this as it could imply how the album includes dance tracks. Furthermore, I decided not to show her face as it could add a tone of mystery to my products. I decided to place my main actor into a top, which includes my main artist's face so that it can display the support that the artist has. I dislike this image however, as I feel it is too dark to use for a front cover.

Final:

I decided to edit the image on Photoshop by digitally increasing the brightness and slightly decreasing the contrast of the image. I think this has worked well as now the image quality isn't lost due to the darkness.
