Digipak development

Today during the lesson, after we completed the music video, we started to put more time into our poster and digipak and we started to write down what was needed to be done and what things that we should do together.For our digipak, you can see breif/planning draft below, we are almost finished with the front page and the only thing we need to do is to put a promotion sticker like “#1 top seller” or similar to promote the cd and the band.

front cover, inside left, inside right

Then for the inside right we need to fade the picture so we can see the place where the cd is suppose to be and also uses so burn effect or similar that we used in Photoshop on the front cover to get that old rough texture and color.
The inside left is almost also finished but the colors needs to be adjusted as well, also from the audience feedback we realized that we had to make the concept about recycling the faces/mainstream people even more. So we decided to either use recycling arrows that are faded on the picture or round recycling arrows around the bin depending upon what would look best.

How we use the burn effect in photoshop

For the back there is much that has to be done and first of all we have to get a screen grab from the performance in the video in HD that we will use for the back. After that we will use the same kind of burn affect and get the right contrast and color of the picture. When this is finished we will put a bar code, the copyright logo and institutions name at the bottom of the back cover possibly also their logo. When this is done the only thing that is needed to be done is to put all the songs and so far we feel like we want them centred using the same colour and font as we did on the front cover.
So within a few days I think we will be finished with the digipak if everything goes as planned.
