Final Digipak

As you can see we have changed it from our rough draft the front cover especially and we have made it more simple by removing the the colt around the artist and keeping the background a clear colour. We made the digipak a two panel digipak because we found it hard to create the most realistic bullet hole so we didn't create that specific panel in the end. But I think that the end result is amazing we really like it and we did post the outcome of the digipak and the advert on our social networks for feedback but haven't had any really.

           Back Cover                                                                                                            Front Cover 


Left Inside Panel                                                                                            Right Inside Panel & CD

The software we used to create the Digipak was Photoshop a well know software used to edit photographs. We started by using the template of a digipak and then went straight into creating the forst panel, we first started with our front cover then moved on to our back panel because these are the most important panel that contain the main information as I describe in my video when I analysis the many  digipaks. Ofc ourse the images used for the panels are photographs we took with a camera but because of the age and legal issue we had to use a image from another source when it came to the back cover because of the bullet and then edit it as much as we could to make it look as if it contained the same style as the other panels. There was a lot of time put into the digipak because we were not too familiar with the software and so we used many YouTube videos for help. Below I have placed the video we used when editing our digipak.

How to change the size of an image


Because we had many layers when creating our digipak we had some images larger than other and it was hard and confusing on how to get the right size so this video helped us know a quick and faster method to fix our problems. 

Typing in a circle
We also used another YouTube video so we could know how to write the copyright information that is found on the actual CD we used this video to help us know how to type in a circle.


The font that we used for the digipak is of "Da Font" and is called "Gunplay"
which is the same font we used for our magazine advert. Using this font helps give the audience an idea of what the album will be like and by using a stencil like army style font it will give off that impression. Below is a image of the font chosen.
