Digipak Front

The front panel was also just like the other panels, the same theme is constantly ran throughout. Furthermore the different shades of blues on different panels allow the project to have a different feel to it. I believe that having the same colour outside the inner circle would create a tedious looking digipak that only carries different pictures. This was the first panel where i used text and all the editing techniques. This took the longest to create, as i expected due to its importance. Being the front cover, i had to create an engaging and bold atmosphere that would realistically attract customers to the album. When i started editing the blue on, i noticed the brightness of Pete's jacket and Josh's overcoat, they coincided each other very nicely. This could hint to their different roles within the duo perhaps. Little concepts like that can really develop though processes and question the position of other edits. I also liked the thought that the drum sticks bring the 2 images together. The image within the circle was darkened and i added a hint of orange to the overall image. Making them both look quite tanned. However it looks realistic the orange compliments the outer blues. In the bottom right, i added a splash edit and converted it into a light purple, the darkness of the overcoat and the vibrant purple adds necessary depth to the picture, as well as the mist. I interpret the mist as sort of a cloud, this is relevant as the band is called The Run Ups, this was totally a coincidence. I strongly believe that the golden text is suitable and easy to read. I had encountered a problem when deciding the type of colours i want that coincide with blues, i tried silvers, whites and greens before thinking of gold. deciding what side the album name went was my next task. I attempted going center under The Run Ups, however the M was hard to read from the white jumper Pete was wearing. I didn't want the text going across the top of the image either as it would look k=like the name of the band instead of the album. I attempted to add the element of blue flames across the bottom to hide the white jumper but this made the piece look childish.
