Digipak fist draft

To start creating the first draft of my digipak I first had to open the template containing the dimensions in Photoshop. I then opened up my music promo to select the pictures I want to use for the digpak, which was a close up of the money used in filming and the closing shot of leaves used to finish my video off. I decided to use this as the picture for the back of the digipak because it was the closing scene for my promo and will therefore also be the closing for my cover.
I opened the dimensions for the digipak in Photoshop and then brought up the picture of money I intended to use for the front cover. I had to stretch the image in order to fix the front cover box and since I did not want to ruin the image by stretching it, I had to hold the shift key whilst repositioning the picture to keep the correct shape.
I then did the same with the back image and altered the layers so the dimensions were on top of all other images, allowing me to ensure each picture fit the boxes perfectly. It was then I realized I would need a new image for the insides of the digipak and did not want to reuse the photos of money and leaves as I already had because it would remove any interesting features and just appear boring and repetitive.
For the back and inner panel I chose to use an image of the road I had taken as a large amount of the inner panel would not be visible due to the CD, and the back would require information that may be difficult to read if it was written over an eyecatching photo.
I then added the band and album name on the front cover and chose a white font as it stood out nicely against the black and grey image and positioned the writing the same way it is on their other albums to ensure there were not many differences that would make it clear that this album was not one of The Neighbourhood's. I then included the logo as it is iconic of this band and placed it in the centre of the front cover to ensure it stood out.
