Digipack completed

Here is my completed digipack completed, after longs hours trying to complete it is finally finished. The final outcome it one i can be happy with and one that reflects my idea of the first vision i had.

Digipack nearly finished part 2

Today i completed my digi-pack,i began by adding in the text on the back, i did this by choosing a font, then duplicating three of the same text, after i then change the colour of the three to make each different, then layer on top of one another to give it a 3d colour effect. I then continued to work on the CD cover, i began by getting the picture of a volcano and cutting it into CD, I then got the Magma text and pasted onto the CD cover. The inside cover i chose to do a design looking as if the text in falling down the volcano, like lava would, therefore i worked hard to create this effect. Creating this effect i got the picture of a volcano, i then faded the picture into the cover to match the colours, i then added the text and rotated the letters to look as if its falling. To complete the digi-pack i finally created the spine by putting the magma text on the spine along with the title and the CD disc logo, thus completing my dig-pack.

Digipack nearly finished

I've nearly completed my digipack, with the pictures i am going to show the process i went through to create my digipack such as effects, tools from adobe photoshop. I added in the spines of the digipack making them black to follow the colour scheme i am doing, i also put the back of the digipack icons on such as the parental advisory logos on and also a barcode.

Continued with Digpack

Today i continued with my digipack to try and complete it as i have been focusing on more practical side in recent weeks, therefore i decided to do quite a bit of work to get it completed. The screen shots below show how i created my inside plan of the digipack, with the picture of scale pattern i edited the colour to make it red and black to follow the contrast of colours with the rest of the pack, i then continued this by doing the same to the CD compartment but reversing the colours to make a change.

Creating the Digipack

Today i began to create my digipack, using a rough guide i drew i used this as a structure to follow to ensure the digipack pans out the way i want it to. First of all i chose a volcano to appear on the front of my digipack, this to emphasise DJ Magma through the link between magma and a volcano. To begin with i dragged a six panel digipack outline into photoshop, this being the guidelines for me to help when putting the pack together and also being the correct size. I put the volcano onto the front of the pack, following with that i then adjusted the colour using light and contrast tool to darken the picture to sharpen and give the picture more emphasis on the colour. I then search through numerous amounts of fonts to find one that i wanted to reflect a bit burnt like it would be from contact with lava from a volcano and to continue with the theme of the volcano, once i chose the font i placed it in the center and created a thin second layer to make it slightly 3D with a yellow colour behind.

Next i dragged in the next picture of a volcano erupting, this to follow and continue the same colours on the front cover so it don't look odd. Once putting the picture in i then went to focus back onto the front cover, using a disco ball i placed it faded on top of the volcano giving the illusion of the ball coming out of the volcano, this i created to indicate its a digpack CD for a disco genre. Once that was complete i then dragged in DJ Magma, a boy from our sixth form who we interpreted as him. I cut our magma out of the background, then dragged him into the digipack, i then readjusted the size of magma and place him in front of the disco ball showing he is the main person.

Starting my Digipack

Today i started to think about an idea to create for my digipack, i gathered a lot of pictures from google to follow a theme of volcano and lava; DJ Magma and looked at how i could create a vibrant colourful digipack but using the lava colours of a red and orang type. Here are some of the pictures i downloaded to experiment with.
