Making of Digipak.

This is just some screen shots to take you through the journey of the making of the digipak, It has been a HARD task for amateur users of photoshop like myself as it was something i've never used but by going through tutorials and attempting it a couple of times it's gradually coming to be. And hopefully at the end of it i shall be a PRO!


Firstly I searched for a 6 panel template so that it will be easier to know how it will look like by the end of it and it also helps me make decision if the colour scheme is the way i like it to be and it avoids me using different kind of colours. For example for the colour red, there are various reds like medium,light or dark and with technology you can choose how dark or light you want it to be and if i use one kind of colour it will be hard for me to try get it to the same perfect colour as it doesn't have a code.


This is how i started it a few weeks ago however I am only going to finish it off now as i've been busy working on the magazine advert and i would like to make sure it matches the magazine advert as it gets it catchy.

The black borders is where i will include some writing and some advertising objects. My intention was to put a white background everywhere but with stars of red,black and white unfortunately I've searched the web and they have none in that kind of combination but I was thinking if i could make my own background however i am concerned about the time as the coursework is due this week. It also worries me that it would be 'too simple'. The image for the front cover is the same as the magazine advert like I've said i want to keep most of the things the same and since I've made the image in black and white, it sounds more appropriate to have a starlight grey background as it shows the sparkly stars.

Sony is a known company and therefore distributing music through them is beneficial as it attracts more audience.

Image above: This is an internet based picture and seems to be a work of a student, though this doesn't really have much to do with the making of digipak, I've looked at it and it looks very interesting and it makes me think about making a few changes to my own magazine advert if i have time as this is pretty appealing to me as it advertises the digipak at the same time! I would probably consider these changes.

Since we don't intend to show the any pictures of the actual artist and co artist in either the digipak nor magazine advert because this helps build more suspense as to who this 'couple' is. 

This picture is originally taken like this with a professional camera by a friend who does Photograph and now i shall be editing in my way so that it looks black and white which will compliment with the colour schemes of my ancillary tasks.

Here is the picture that i've edited using picnik.com where i could get the black and white effect easily and it could be applied with much easiness as well.

The CD template: This is the CD template that I've created using Microsoft Publisher and Paint which i will add to the Digipak now. (5th Completed Panel)
