The document describes the process of creating a digipak cover using Adobe Fireworks. It discusses choosing an image of a bridge for the cover because it was featured in a video. It then explains adjusting the saturation and lightness of the photo to make it darker to emulate other digipak covers, and using effects like greyscale and "heat" to modify additional images to be featured on the digipak.

1. This is the approximate size of a standard CD case, I
used this sizing guide to create my canvas.

2. Using Adobe
Fireworks as my
editing software
I set about
creating the
Front of my
digipak.
I chose this image of the
bridge as my Digipak front
cover because I felt that
aside from being very
picturesque, it was only
natural since the bridge
itself was featured in my
video.

3. I decided to
convert the
colour of my
photograph to
greyscale
because I am
trying to
emulate the
techniques
used on other
Digipaks and
CD covers of
the same
genre.

5. I then adjusted
the saturation
and lightness
hues of the
photo to make
it darker, since I
felt the image
was too light in
tone.

7. I did the same
procedure to this
picture of a solitary
tree, however I saw
that this image was
much to dark when i
was simply grey
scaled.

8. I decided to use
an after affect
called “heat” to
brighten the
image up. As can
be seen, the
effect brightens
up darkened
areas and makes
the picture more
attractive.

10. I
repeated
this
procedur
e with
the
following
two
images
that are
to bee
featured
on my
Digipak.
