1. The document describes the process of editing a digipak. Images were added first to create the structure and background. Shapes were then added on top of the images to provide a basis for text and allow text to be seen against the background. 2. Text was added to the front cover including the artist name and album title using the same font as the poster to create synergy. Song titles were added to the back cover on the right side so as not to cover the images. 3. Legal text and production company information was added to the back cover using the same fonts as other elements to maintain consistency. A spine was created connecting all elements with text in a matching font.

1. Digipak Editing Process

2. 1
I added the images for each element of the
digipak first, this created a structure and the
background for my digipak. I have explained how I
edited the images on a different presentation.

3. 2
I then added the shapes onto my digipak, this forms a basis
for my text and allows the text to be seen against the image
background. It also creates synergy with my poster. I
changed the opacity of the shape for my back cover, it
moved from 100% to 77%. This allows the original image to
be visible.

4. 3
I added the text onto my front cover, including the artist
name and album title. I used the same font for each
feature as my poster, creating synergy and
professionalism. I used a white colour so that the text
was visible against the black background.

5. 4
I then added the 8 songs onto the back of my cover, I
placed them at the right side so that the models were
visible and not covered by text. I changed the last 4
songs from black to white as this colour shown better
against the image, I used the colour overlay tool with the
colour white. I used the opacity 100%.

6. 5
I added the legal rights of the artist and album
onto the back cover, over the black shape that
was placed earlier. I used the same font that I
used for the website on my poster, this again
creates synergy. I used a white colour as this
shows up better against the black background.

7. 6
I added the features onto my back cover, I added a
barcode and the name of the music production
company. The barcode is a legal requirement so I
included this, the music production company is a
common convention of digipaks so I included this. This
also creates convergence with my poster as I included it
on this.
I added the spine, I used a black colour as this matches
the colour of the shapes and connects all elements of
the digipak together. I used a white colour for the text,
and used the same font that is used on the front cover
for the artist name.

8. 7
I added the CD circle shape to my right inside cover, I
used the ellipsis shape tool to create the correct shape
that matched with the guidelines. I created a new layer
(layer 9) and then decreased the opacity to 60%. This
makes the image visible and shows where the CD would
be placed.
I removed the guidelines and matched the size of each
element to create the correct shape.
