1. Digipak Design
To start our digipak designing, we sorted through our still images to find those, which
we felt would work asa frontcover.
Wechose two images, which wehad taken on the edge of our main location set. This
was to capturerealism to the band membersas this is wherethey predominately play.
The first image is jokey, which we felt was great at capturingthe bands emotions.
However in the end we realized the second image wasmore appropriateat selling their
album, as they look serious.
After a mutualdecision about usingimage 2 as our front cover image, we opened the
image up in Photoshop to ensureour image was in pristinecondition. This included
modifyingsomeslight blemishes:
Additionally, the brightness of our final image was increased, and we increased the focus to the
image making our subjects stand out further against the bright background. This is something we
found essential, as the band image is what will draw our audience into this CD.
Although after these changes our before an after may not appear different, our final image up-close
is able to show precision and crisp quality. Having now finalized the image we want to show on the
front cover of our digipak, the next step is the text. We need to decide which fonts would suit our
image the most while also incorporating the style of music of the band, and the bands image.
