Making Of: Digipak & Booklet

For the front cover of the digipak I used a black

background with grey detail. I also added a texture to

the top and bottom of the cover and then added a navy

overlay layer to that so that it would fit in with the

primarily black, navy and grey colour palette that I had

chosen. Next, I added still images that were taken at the

student demonstration where I filmed the majority of

my music video and after using the magic wand tool to

select sections of them placed them between the

texture details.

I then copied the

background and

texture detail

onto the other two

panels so that it

would look

consistent on each

cover.

After experimenting

with different font

styles on dafont.com I

decided that a sans

serif font would stand

out well from the

detail on the digipak

and chose ‘coolvetica’.

After installing it I was

then able to add text

to each panel of the

digipak.

To prevent the back of the digipak from being to plain and to

separate the audio and visual features of the digipak I used a

stock image to create scissor lines. I also added this detail to

the front of the digipak as I liked the effect that it created. To

make it stand out from the images on the front cover I used the

drop shadow tool.

To create the band pages of the digipak booklet I

used the selection tool to cut out sections from

two images of each member and then combined

them on a navy background. Using the same font as

the rest of the digipak I added the members name

to the middle of the two pictures and used the

drop shadow tool to make the text stand out.

For the biography and contact pages of the booklet I used

plain navy or black backgrounds to keep within the

colour palette and used the add text tool to add details

in the same font used on the rest of the digipak.
