This document describes the process of designing a CD digipack. Various images were located from Google Images and the artist's blog. These images were edited in Photoshop by removing backgrounds, changing opacity, and blending images. Text was added using tools in Photoshop and different fonts were tested to enhance readability. Photo panels were created by merging photos taken at rehearsals and photo shoots. Additional elements like logos and borders were included. Different drafts were made to refine the design across panels for the front, inside text sections and lyrics, and back cover.

4. This will be the CD on its own,
without the disc-holder.
It is a blended image of an
umbrella, downloaded from
Google Images, and a picture
taken of Cara before she sings.
On Photoshop, I removed the
background blended images
around the CD circle shape, then
used the typing tool (T) to type out
and stylise the writing on the CD

5. CD Holder without the CD.
Once the CD is removed, the
picture completes itself,
slightly faded however, the
blended picture on the CD
completes the picture when the
CD is attached.

6. Changed opacity on both
images and placed them
over one another to blend
the image
Located photograph on Kirsty's blog, print
screened it and merged it with another image
downloaded from Google.com
Then I typed up and used
effects on Photoshop to
add a more professional
look to the panel e.g.
applied a Drop Shadow

7. First Draft of the Lyrics panel

8. Zapfino as a font wasn't clear enough to
read for the Lyrics panel and so I instead
decided to use Apple Chaucery instead. I
applied a Colour Overlay of white and
Stroke (Width: 2 on the Title) in black to
enhance the clarity against the image. I
then swapped the effects over for the
actual lyrics, where there was no Colour
Overlay but a white Stroke

10. I made the photos merge
and added the
Parlophone logo,
downloaded from
Google.com, on
Powerpoint, then took
the screenshot image
over to Photoshop to add
a black border to the title
“Water On Glass”.
This, however, doesn't fit
with the design of the
other panels and so it
might be subject to
change

11. This panel was the simplest to
design. As there was no Titles,
all that was requires was to
blend two images together. I
took the rose picture from the
dud-panel and add a Black and
White effect on Photoshop,
before tampering with the
opacity of the image and
overlapping it with a similarly
effected photograph of our
artist.
After that I just used the
Parlophone logo again in the
corner and added the spine
