Constructing the Digipak

This is our finished Digipak 

We used a digipak template to understand the placement of the photos on the digipak, and we had to manipulate all of the photos in our own way by the use of photoshop.  We had to create different photos for each panel to make a successful digipak. We wanted the front and back cover to smoothly connect and so we used the same image spaced over both panels. By doing this, we used the correct measurements for each six panels, and we connected the front and back panels together with a 1cm to the width for the spine of the digipak. 

We also created 11 songs for the back of our digipak to create the feeling that it is a full digipak, and we decided to make the title of the digipak one of the songs on the back, like what most digipaks have.  We also got an image of a barcode for our digipak to make it more professional and make it look like a real digipak. 

This is the font we decided to use for our digipak as we wanted a font which could be blended into the branches. However, once we tested out our idea we decided it would be best if the title would be just below the branches. We thought this font would be most effective as it has a tree branch effect to it, which is the focus of the front and back panels. 

This is our information page for our artist on the inside of our digipak. We researched about digipaks and looked into the information that goes on the artist panels. We decided that using a white background and the side of the tree like the front and back panels would be effective for our information page as it is subtle and it gives consistency to the digipak. 

These three images are on the inside pages of our digipak. They were all manipulated on photoshop with the vignette filter to create an effective tone to our photos.  The middle photo was manipulated to make James fade out of the photo by placing an exact photo over the top containing only Kendall in it. This creates the effect that James has left her life as their relationship is over, which would be effective for our audience. 

This is our finished digipak. We had to flip the three images at the top to make the upside-down so that it would create a perfectly presented digipak.  We then placed a cd holder over the middle photo to make the digipak look real, like it was ready for the cd to be placed o the digipak.
