Final Digipak and Process:

My first edit for my digipak is shown below:

However, this was not a strong digipak, and when I handed it to my teacher to look over and give me feedback, I received criticsm which is shown below:

After receiving the feedback, the task made more sense to me and I was more aware of the task and what it entailed. I gave another attempt to the digipak, coming up with a whole new theme. I decided to give the digipak an antique theme to link the images together and make the task feel more constant.

However even when this was done, I felt it was still not up to the standard it could be. The images were too blurred, and parts of the composition were missing such as the copyright information. Also my teacher suggested I use another format for the digipak. I also did not have a spine at this point.

I then decided to give the process one last attempt, this time using a new editing medium. I used Photoshop to give me a wider range of artistic features and opportunities to make the digipak more appealing to the audience.

My final attempt is shown below:

Here I made completely remade the digipak for a third time. Following two different themes, one for the outside of the album, and another for the inside. The outside theme I kept the effects used constant between them. The effects I used on Photoshop include artistic brush strokes on the character in the middle. I then used a neon glow technique around his body. Finally I distorted the background to swerve around the character. The fonts I used were kept constant on the two outside covers, the colors used compliment the autumn colors in the background.

For the back cover, I used artistic strokes on the burnt out car. Then I changed the colors in the background to boost them and make them more autumn and compliment those on the front cover.The text I used is similar to that on the front cover, this resembles continuity. However I installed a white glow around the text as some was being lost in the picture, this made them more legible. I used a barcode, and integrated some text as copyright information. I also altered a brand name to use a production company.

On the inside covers I followed a black and white theme. On the inside left cover I used a background made by converging two shots of inside of the car seen on the back cover. A shot of the steering wheel and a close up of the inside were used. I then distorted these images making it impossible to tell what it is. The text used is for acknowledgements and thanks from the makers of the album. The text used a white glow again to make the writing more legible.The inside right where the CD goes is an image of a circular object that I saturated and contrasted the colors to give a 3 dimensional effect. The circular object follows continuity with the CD that will be placed on top.

Also included in the digipak is a spine that follows similar text theme to that of the front and back cover. The text is the title of the album.

I feel that this digipak is my best by far in a way that most appeals to the audience. It follows two constant themes, and is correct in terms of the contemporary aspects you would expect to see on a digipak such as the barcode.
