Digipak Back

The back panel was hard fr me to start initially. At the studio, i didn't take enough picture for my digipak that i thought were suitable for the final product. This was obviously a huge drawback as i needed to keep the same theme throughout. I decided on having a tree in the center of the square and have 6 songs on each side of the trunk and then applying the circle edit onto it. However when taking pictures of the tree, i had found that it really wouldn't look right. The other panels are inside the studio and by having a random tree would lack in continuity. i then decided that some kind of light would perhaps work and if i almost made it feel like it was linked to the studio it could work. Near my house, there's a subway underpass. The lights in there worked particularly well, as the location is yet unknown. It looked authentic and fits with the other panels nicely. However, editing the original image was proving quite the task as changing the colour of a white light is difficult. I decided to make the image yellower, giving it some kind of retro feeling to it. Which coincided with the Amp panel as well as the drum kit. Like the other panels, it was predominantly blue, i liked the overall outcome as the blue is light and dark, the further down the wall you get. For the back cover, you also need all the codes and conventions of a typical back cover. The barcode, digital disc and record label were all very easy to obtain from Google. Their size made it very easy to experiment with certain positions and being able to move them with ease, The binders were very fiddly to create as the text also had to be legible and easy to read. Considering i didn't have a very good idea for this panel, i think it's worked well and fits with the other pictures. The track list took an extremely long time to complete. As i wanted to use the same font as all my other text, with the gold texture. I needed to use Dafont.com. This website has thousands of free fonts that are easy to access and are clean. I got 12 random songs and typed them in the same font. However, to make them work i needed to screenshot the page and erase everything, bar the font. This was an extremely tedious task as i just repeated the process over and over. I then re scaled all 12 text to the same size and made them all one layer. This allows me to move them with ease and means i can add the gold just the once, instead of 12 times. In general i'd have like the text to be bigger, but the gold blends in with the yellow circle making it impossible to read easily.
