I downloaded Photoshop and tutorial videos to create a digipak. I imported a template and chose an image for the cover, removing backgrounds in Photoshop and iPhoto. I compiled additional images and logos, then layered them onto the template along with text for tracklist, title, and other information.

1. MAKING MY DIGIPAK

2. I downloaded the Adobe Photoshop CS6 trial version and went
to YouTube to watch some tutorials.

3. I imported the digipak template that I had previously downloaded onto Photoshop as the first layer.

4. I chose the image that I wanted to be the front cover of the digipak, and opened it on the iPhoto
editor.
The original image had sand and sea in the background as it was taken on one of our filming days. I had
removed this previously on Photoshop. There were also two people in the background, which I forgot
to remove, so, using the editor I erased them with the ‘blemish’ tool.

5. Removing the people in the background to create a clean white base for the image:

6. I then
enhanced and
faded the
image until
was happy
with the
colour
quality.

7. I compiled all the images, and logos that I wanted to feature on my digipak, and imported them
onto Photoshop too.

8. I put it all together on my template on Photoshop, as well as adding layers with text for the
tracklist, album title, information on spine and record label information.
