Completed Digipak

(CLICK TO ENLARGE)

Using Photoshop, we created a digipak for the album in which our song used in the music video is from. Shown above is the final piece we created.

We searched the internet for measurements of a digipak, so our finished piece could be accurate. We placed this in the background of Photoshop so we could use it while designing our digipak. We have also used a colour scheme of blue and black, which we felt went well with the feel of the song we selected, which is fairly slow paced and dark, and this was possible by use of the filter, brightness and contrast tools in Photohop.

For the front cover, we used a photo taken on a camera of the bear feeling lonely. We used a blue filter with a relatively low contrast to make the picture fit in with the other pages and burn and brush tools were used to border the image to enhance the smooth transitions of the different pages.

The back page was based around an edited photo taken of a black brick wall. We were influenced by The Prodigy's album, 'Invaders Must Die' and Michael Jackson's 'Off The Wall' for this idea, however we made sure to remain creative in its completion. To make it so the wall didn't conflict with the ability to read the tracklisting, we used the brush tool to blacken any parts of the picture where the text was close. At the bottom of the page we included necessary conventions such as the record label logo, the barcode and the text explaining the copyright protection.

For the fold-out page, we used the photos Laurence took of his studio instruments and included them in a picture showing pictures of a turntable, a microphone, a guitar and a keyboard which are all common instruments used in Unkle's album.

For the inner section of the digipak, we used the abstract art which Laurence had created on Photoshop previously, and without a high level of alteration, resized it to match the dimensions required for the digipak. We also included a picture of a disc to show where the CD would be situated in the digipak, and entered text onto it in the same font as was used for the front page.
