To start the front cover of the digipak I opened the image and created several new adjustment layers to play around with the colours of the image. I used both the curves, levels, vibrance and hue/saturation options to adjust the colours of the image so that it did not look so dull. I did this to appeal to the target audience as they are not looking for dull colours but rather retro images.

This shows what the image looked like after I had applied the adjustment layers to it.

Once I had the correct levels for the main layer I began attempting to give the image the pixel coating. I did this by selecting the filter option on the tool bar and selected mosaic and then pixelate to create the coating.

Once I had applied the mosaic layer I had to adjust the opacity of it so that the image could still be seen. I did this by selecting the edit tab on the toolbar then pressing fade mosaic

Once pressing fade mosaic a new menu appeared where you could change the percentage of opacity and change the effect of the opacity. I chose overlay and set the opacity to around 62 percent.

This is what the image looked like with both the adjustment layers and the pixel coating on it

I then added the text to the image. I chose to use the Bebas font and used varying sizes for the name of the album and the album title to make it more visually pleasing. To make the title stand out more I added a inner glow to the text by double clicking the layer so that the edit menu appeared.

This is what the image looked like with all of the effects that I added to it
