Constructing The Digipak

The first panel of the digipak that we decided to work on is the back panel. For this we mimicked the 4 panel idea we retrieved from "No Doubts" album cover, but with the back of our heads for the back of the digipak.
I spent a long time trying to organise the colour correction and other editing techniques that would make the images look better as they began looking too bland for the digipaks theme.

This idea then evolved into something along the lines of this, we aded a rather thick border so as to match that of the front of the digipak which contains the same border but for the title of the album and band.







However this idea was later scrapped as we believe that we could do a better job of not only arranging the images better but, if we did the boarded first rather than last, it would make the image a lot easier to organise and therefore it would look a lot better as a final result.

This is the finished product of the back panel. the final changes that we decided to add to it because as you recall we were not happy with the last back panel. Were that we made the border the same size as that on the front panel, removed the inverted colours on me and alex, and put in more detailed photo editing, such as contrast, hdr shadowing etc.
All of this along with the added barcode and copyright standards make it look incredibly professional and for this reason we are very proud of it.

We then went on to producing the front of the digipak. Bearing in mind the idea from the "No Doubt" album cover that we are trying to re-create in our own style. We went on to edit the photos in this panel further to make them more distinguished as well as we also added the thick border that we were attempting on the back panel but this time with the band and album name across the border. Causing the finished front panel to look like this.

The last panel that we have been working on is the three inside panels. For these panels we had the idea to join them with images of the band and general montage scenes that are depicted throughout the course of the music video. We joined these photos up with borders and different spaces between the images, causing a shifty collage effect. We also edited the photos a great deal as we did not want them to be completely black and white but also agreed that full on colour did not look as great. As a result of this we spent a long time messing around with colour correction and HDR and contrast settings to end with this result of the finished inside panels.
