MAKING OF THE ANCILLARY TASK DIGIPAK...

I'm making digipak as this the task for us...As we started working on our digipak, we kept in mind the theme our whole project had, But decided to keep it slightly appealing by keeping it in colour. In our music video we had several representative items. So to make it interesting, we decided to keep those.
This is the template we used.



We started by selecting a picture of our artist that we all agreed on to be on the inside right. We imported the picture into our photo editing software. For this we used Adobe Photoshop CS6. We turned it Black and White, and further decreased the amounts of the colours Red, Green, and Yellow, so that our picture gets a richer look.



We then proceeded to apply the edited picture file onto the template. For that we, again, used Adobe Photoshop CS6. To apply this picture, we went into edit, then paste special, and then paste. As the template was in a CD shape, we had to cut out the centre circular region. We did that by selected the Rectangle tool, and then Elliptical Marquee Tool. With this tool, we selected the inner circle, and removed it. This is how it looked so far.




Then we chose the front outside picture, and adjusted it's brightness and contract, and left the colours as they were. After, we added the edited picture onto the template and adjusted it according to how we wanted it to show. Then we simply added the text ''Silence'', which is the name of the song we used, and placed it on top of the cover. We did add the artist's name. We took the inspiration from Demi Lovatos Unbroken album cover.









Moving onto the inside left of the digipak, we chose a still from the video itself from when the actor is sitting on a bench hurt. We edited it's colours in Adobe Photoshop CS6 using Colour Balance. Later, after we adjusted the picture onto the template, we added a verticle barcode
. This is a very conventional item used in a digipak.
