This is the Digipak that we have created after several designs were suggested, as a group we decided that the design would need several features that included both the band and the managers logo, obviously the album title and song titles. I wanted the album to contain a photo that we had taken so that it would link into and relate to out previous work.
Ben was the best at Photoshop out of our group, so with suggestions we both decided what would be best for the sides of the digipak and he edited it on Fireworks and Photoshop until we were both happy, this included altering the contrast, colour boosting or reducing saturation/opacity (transparacy) on images and also adding titles to the sections so that we could include a track-list.
We wanted to keep the logo of the band in the image but since it was copyrighted we needed to design a new logo, Dominic created one that looked similar to the font which I think worked really well because they look comparative which is convincing to people viewing the logo.
Lastly, we created a logo for our group which is made up of the initials from each of our names. It was created on Photoshop with input from the whole group until we were all happy with the final design.
I then asked several people in our media class what they thought of the digipak, they said that it was "interesting and detailed and something that they would notice in a store since it stands out amongst plainer covers", the positive feedback settled the final design.
Before it was done however, we needed to fix some problems with the design since not every panel lined up accurately with clear spaces for the spine. We found this when we printed the digipak out and it was a little off, after some tweaking this was resolved however.
The canvas size on Photoshop that we also created was very large and when it printed out it took up too much paper since it did not re-size it in scale, this meant we had to alter the size of the design when printing.
