creating my digipak

1. When editing and changing my front cover
for my Digipak I needed to make sure that
I included the title of the album, and the
image I was going to use. After much
research on different digipaks and research
into the chosen genre of my music video,
which is folk rock I found some inspiration
in what I was going to use for the colour
scheme and what kind of font I would use
for the title. I chose to base the whole
colour around black and white as I found
this resembled and reflected on the idea of
folk rock bands, and considering ‘Homeward
Bound’ is an older song the black and white
was very relevant for the colour scheme. I
used this image of the actor stood at the
train station because it reflects on the song
lyrics “Im sitting at the railway station, got a
ticket for my destination”.

finals

2. These two images are taken
from my first draft of the
back cover. I used an
image of a map to reflect
on the idea of the music
video; homeward bound, and
how he is always travelling
and on a journey. I changed
it to black and white to fit
into the colour scheme. I
used various editing tools to
create this.
The tools I used to create the draft and the final draft were things like changing the brightness
and contrast, hue and saturation, curves, levels, and enhancing the colours and black and white
areas. I found the barcode on the internet and saved the image I wanted to use by importing
the images. I created my logo of ‘HME’ standing for Harrington Music Entertainment, and by
creating this I am able to use it on other parts of the digipak. I am happy with the two
outcomes and I will see from my survey I will ask to peopleWhich draft
they prefer.
This way I
will get a
better
understanding
of which one
to use for
my final one.
I think both
reflect well

3. Spine – draft and final
When editing my spine I needed to make sure that the sizing were correct and I was able to fit
everything on that I needed to. To create the spine I needed to make sure that I could include
things like; the name of the album (which was Homeward Bound), the artist (which is Harrison –
but real artist of the song is Simon and Garfunkel), and the distributors logo. I made sure that
after I had the correct sizing's I made the background colour of the spine and grey colour – due
to the colour scheme, as everything needs to fit well together. I started in my first draft as using
a darker grey colour, but then reflecting on my front and back cover I decided to change it to a
lighter grey colour – by doing this I think that the album overall will no look as sinister as it
would if it were to be dark grey/almost black. Because I have already made the distributor logo
(HME – which stands for ‘Harrington Music Entertainment’) which I made up, I could easily move
it over to the spine template to create the draft and the final spine. I needed to make sure that
the main focus on the spine was the name of the album, which is Homeward Bound, and the
