Broken down editing stages

1. Broken Down Editing
Stages
DIGIPAK

2. 1ST PANEL
•Firstly we had to choose our favourite picture that we wanted to
use as our front cover and our advert. This image we decided on:
•We then uploaded the image to Photoshop
•Remove the green background changing it to white as we
planned.
•We found it really difficult to edit/remove the green around the hair
so we had to change the brightness.

3. •After this we changed the colour gradient, decreasing the saturation and
making sure there was continuity throughout all 4 panels as we wanted a more
dull effect in comparison to the original images.
•After this added text to the top of the design with the artists name and the title
of the song.

5. We then moved onto the 4th panel
(Back)
• From the first digipak we had a clear understanding of the design
we wanted with some minor adjustments. We used the same
image before which we had edited to make the background
white, allowing us to carry continuity throughout the front and the
back panels.
• We then used the same colour and text to add the albums playlist
on the back (we used Emma Louise's real playlist to make it more
realistic)
• After this we added Emma Louise's official record label "French kiss"
into the bottom left hand corner.

6. • Lastly for this panel
we added a Barcode
into the top left hand
corner, again giving
the album a
professional appeal.
• Also added Emma
Louise's official
website address
• Inserted Copy right
information

7. 2ND PANEL
• After this we then made our 2nd panel.
• Through Target audience we found that it would be much preferred to
have the lyrics across the whole panel instead of in a circle.
• Therefore, we inserted a text textbox which covered the whole panel
and using the same colour and text typed the lyrics to the song
repeatedly, giving a minimalistic effect.

9. 3RD PANEL
• Moving onto our last panel to edit we already knew that we wanted
to use a similar design as our previous digipak.
• Using the background form our 4th panel we used a circle tool on
Photoshop to crop the image into a circle.
• We then used this tool again to cut out a smaller circle in the middle
to ensure the audience could tell this is where the CD would go in the
digipak - like a real album design.
• To ensure the circles were directly incline we used the dimensions on
Photoshop before cropping the image.
