Construction of Digipak: Back Cover

CONSTRUCTION

For the construction of the back of our digipak, we decided on what aspects we liked best and then put them altogether to create our back cover.  Charlotte took it upon herself to create this also with our groups input. Here are the stages we went through to get our back cover:

1) The first thing we did was too pick the photograph that we liked best and then edit it to try and get the same type of image that we created on the front of our digipak- which involved changing the brightness, contrast and vibrance. We went with a photograph which was in the same clothing, as we felt this would create a theme, like all the other digipaks.  We then put the credits and images of different companies associated with the artist and digipak, as this was what we saw on the Digipaks we researched into. For example, we put vevo on there, as this is constantly seen to show the audience on websites like youtube the different artists music videos. We then placed the barcode on, because this is what is seen on all products that can be purchased.

2) The next thing we did was create a variety of different song names, as this is what is always seen on the back of a digipak. We created songs that would sound like they would fit in with the genre of music we are doing. We then decided on the font, we should write this on, so we went for the font we used on the front cover, so that it all links. We decided on the colours red and black for this, as the red is prominent throughout with the lips and then the black is on her dress.

3) The next thing we did was too add a set of links, which are associated with the artist, so that people can accesss more information on them. On the other albums I looked into it was websites such as myspace and facebook, which are very popular, so we felt this would be best for ours too. We chose the font that linked well with the rest of the digpak and also the colour black- which continued to create the theme for our digipak.

4) The last thing we did was to try and fill the space up in the top right hand side of the area. We tried different things, such moving everything around and using different shapes on the paint brush tool to try and fill it in. However, we decided against it, as it didn't fit in with the theme and simply did not look right being there.

4) UPDATE: A few days later, me and Sarah Biswell looked back at this and we decided that we wanted to change a few things. We noticed that the image was too bright and it did not look like the images for the rest of the digipak. We also decided we wanted to make the image larger, so that there was less of a gap in the corner. So we editing the image by changing the brightness and vibrance, and then enhancing the image and moving everything over. Here is what it now looks like:
