Constructing the Digipak

To create or digipak we used photoshop, this is because we had to manipulate six different images into one coherent package. We wanted the front and the back of the digipak to have flow and consistency, to achieve this we used a tree as the spine, so half of it could be seen on the front and the other half could be seen on the back. This achieved a feeling of consistency and coherent design.

We made sure to add a centimetre in the middle for the spine of the digipak, so everything remained in proportion and would appear the same as the physical product would. 

For the text that could be seen on the digipak, we used a custom font which we downloaded from the website DaFont. This was not already available within photoshop and we felt as though it would be the best fit for this particular image. The font we used is called delectable. 

For the inside panel of our digipak we used the same image of the tree with the white background, the reasoning behind this choice was to have continuity within our design. This panel includes information on the artist as well as the rights to the songs.

 Next, we needed three images for the inside of the digipak, we wanted to get images that followed the theme of the songs in the album, which were relationships and break ups. We added a filter over these three images to make them seem similar and more fitting to be placed next to each other in the digipak. One of the images is also faded, specifically the guy, as the song covers the topic of breaking up.

Finally, the images were added onto the digipak and the final product could be visualised. We inserted a CD holder into the middle image, but we did not want to disrupt the look of the pictures, so we made the CD look like a picture of the couple together.
