Construction of Digipack: Front Cover

Front Cover
To incorporate all of my groups ideas together, I asked Charlotte if she would like to edit the photo again and make the digipack, as me and Sarah Biswell were editing the film. Charlotte decided to edit the photo on the photoshop so it would look much more acceptable and eyecatching for the front cover of our digipack. Here is the different processes she went through to achieve the image we did:

We wanted the image to be much more attractive to the eye, we Charlotte brigtened the image so it was much more eyecatching. She then selected the eyes and the lips and made them brighter which then added excitement and colour to it.

The next step we took was adding text to it on the programme InDesign, as this is something that is seen on all digipacks- we decided to go for her name "Elle" and then the name of the song underneath which is "Ignorance." Charlotte found the text that we felt best suited our font reasearch and then placed it in the best place and then experimented with the colours. She picked colours that linked with the photograph such as blue and red- which come from the eyes and the lips. Here are some of the different looks she came up with:

We decided that the black font would be the best for the word "Elle" , as it stands out the most, but also links to the image- as there is a black dress and bits of black shadow around her hair. For the word "Ignorance" we didn't want to go with black again, so we went for the red, because the lips are one of the main colours that stand out in the image, so we thought it would link, would look more appealing and still be easy to see.

The next stage we had to do was to make the image into a square, as at that moment in time it was a rectangle and therefore was not the correct dimension for a digipack. We retrieved an album and measured it so we could get the correct measurments for ours and then we cropped the image. Even though we had to crop some of her hair out, we noticed that some real digipacks do this. The side of the image we had to crop was the side of the writing, therefore we had to move it to the other side, which we decided was just as affective as it being on the other side.  

Here is the final design we came up with:
