Completed Inside Left Panel

After choosing my image, it was fairly easy to complete the inside left panel of my digipak as I had already written my message and decided on the text. I used photoshop to slot everything into place and now this panel is complete!

Change of image

After deciding on this image to use for the inside left of my digipak, I began to edit it and wrote the message from the band. However, after looking at this panel in relation to the rest of my digipak, I have decided that this does not fit with my colourful theme.

I have now decided to use this image instead. 
I believe that this image will fit in better with the rest of my digipak and with the video. I believe that the colourful balloons are the album's sale point as they are recognisable and distinct.

Research Inside Left Panel

After researching digipaks using actual digipaks from home and looking on line, I found that a popular convention is to put a message from the band in this section. I put this into my plan when planning what I wanted to go into my digipak. However, I would also need an image for this page as the messages never fill the whole page. 

I have decided to try this image as it connects well with the second half of my video which takes place at night and part of it takes place on the beach.

Completed Back Cover

I have used photoshop to easily add text and images onto the image that I chose. I now believe that my back cover is complete. However, I will ask for audience feedback at a later date in order to ensure that this looks professional to my target audience.

Removing Numbers

As I started to add the list of song names to the back of my digipak, I automatically used numbers down the left hand side to order them. However, when I got to number 10, the lining looked strange and not as neat as I had hoped. 

I then researched other ways of doing this and found that a large number of digipaks do not include numbers before the song names. This has given me the confidence that I can not use numbering and my piece can still look professional.

Editing image

I used the same technique that I used on the cover of my digipak to add more balloons to the back of my digipak. However, this image did not need as much editing as I thought the balloons were in a very good place for me to place a song list up the left hand side.

Edited Image

As you can see, I have only added a few balloons and cropped the image to the correct size.

Back Cover Image

I have decided to use this image for the back cover of my digipak.
I like this image because of the direct mode of address given by my 2 actresses. It is also quite a comedic shots and shows the band having fun which related directly to the album title "Ain't it Fun"
