The document describes the design process for a digipack. For the front panel, the designer cropped an image from a magazine advertisement and added the band and album names in the same fonts used for other promotional materials. For the back panel, the designer included track listings and other standard elements like a barcode and logo. Side panels featured additional beach photos that were edited for consistency across the design.
2. Front panel
• For my front panel, I used the same image as what I
used on my magazine advertisement, but I cropped out
most of it just to focus on the hands. I used the edited
version of the photo because it makes the picture look
much better quality and the colours look a lot nicer. I
then added my text. I used the same font on the band
name as what I used on the poster because this is what
would stay the same throughout everything they did
because it is their style. I used the same style as the
poster for the album name because they are both
related to the same product so should be similar so we
know they relate. I moved the text to the top of the
cover so the users can still see the hands together of
both the characters. I then put a line between the band
name and the album name to separate the band name
and the album name.
3. Back panel
• For my back panel, I used one of the other pictures that
I took when I was at the beach. I then edited the
picture by cropping it and then I changed the colour
and contrast settings to give it a dark vintage look. I
also used the sharpen tool to make it look a bit higher
quality. I then used the same text style and layout for
the band name and album name. I then placed my
tracks for the album underneath in 3 lines of three. I
originally tried doing it as a list of 7, but I thought this
left too much empty space and it didn’t look very good,
so I changed it to be like a paragraph. I used a font for
this that was downloaded from a website called
dafont.com and I used it because it looks really nice and
it is very similar to the other text but it is in-between
them both. I then added a barcode in to the bottom
corner because that is on all CD back covers because
they are often bought ins stores that use them. I also
added the record label logo because that is another
convention that is often on albums.
4. Inside panels
• For my side panels, I used more pictures that I took at
the beach. I used these because they are where all of
my pictures have been from so using anything other
would disrupt the continuity of my product. I also used
these pictures because they are goof pictures. On both
the pictures, I adjusted the colour balance and I
changed the hue and saturation. I also used the
sharpen tool on both of the images to make them look
like they are better quality. I also used a tool that makes
the corners and the edges look dark to make the focus
more on the couple.
