2. In order to open a blank canvas on Photoshop I selected ‘ File’- ‘New’. Then a box
appeared with measurements of the canvas, in order for the digipak to be
symmetrical I put in width- 21cm and height- 10cm, I did this for both the inside
and outside of the digipak.
3. In order to open a image and place this on the blank canvas I selected ‘file- open’ and
then my USB stick files appeared within a box and from this I selected a image from my
previous Manchester location photography shoot. I found this image most successful
from my photography work and I found that it will go well on a digipak.
This is proof that the image on the digipak is from a
previous photo-shoot
4. When editing the back of my digipak I deleted a section of the sky from the original image of
the right side of the image as I wanted the soundtrack text to look bold to the eye. I did this
by selecting the ‘Magic Wand Tool’ then selcting the sky section and pressing ‘Delete’ with
the cursor. To move the image as well as rotate it I selected the images layer and pressed ‘Ctrl
T’. In order to duplicate the image I pressed ‘Ctrl J’.
I used the same picture for the back of the digipak as I wanted the digipak to look like an
illusion and edgy for fans to look at.
5. For the background of my soundtrack text I placed a
rectangular shape in the centre of the back of the digipk. I did
this by selecting the ‘Rectangle tool’ then In order to change
the colour I selected the ‘Set foreground colour tool’ then a
box appeared for me to choose a colour, then from this I
selected the ‘Paint bucket tool’ and pressed on the drawn
shape to change the colour.
All of the tools are shown above and what there logo looks
like.
6. Then I added the albums logo as well as the artists logo on
the spine of the digipak. I pressed ‘Ctrl T’ to move and
rotate the text .
