Holly created panels measuring 140mm by 126mm for each panel of the digipak. She imported images from her school media drive that she had previously used for a photo shoot. Holly used layer duplication and colored overlays to create a cascading effect. She added text for the logo and album title using effects like gradients and glows. The back cover, track list, label logo, and barcode were also designed. Circles were made with the shape tool to imitate a CD for the design.

2.  To create each panel for the digipak, I started by selecting File –
New and creating a blank panel that measures 140mm by
126mm. I did this for every panel for the pack.

3.  To import images another
location, I had to go into
my school media drive,
which I used to store all of
my video footage and
photo shoot images that I
had done earlier in the
year.
 This then allowed me to
create the cascading effect
by using the Duplicate
Layer tool, to which I then
added a coloured overlay.

4. To create text, I used the Text Layer tool to create
the logo and the album title.
For the artist logo, I went into the Effects tool and
added a rainbow gradient overlay and added a black
outer glow.
For the album title, I simply left the text in it’s
default setting.

9. And finally…the
barcode!

10. For the CD design, I used the Shape tool
to create various circles to create the effect
of the real. I also used this for the label.
I used the text tools as discussed
previously.
