In todays lesson we looked at various different examples of good and bad digipaks. We then got set a task to produce a practice digipak of our own but only with images that the teachers provided for us. We had to pick out of a number of images which were all ridiculously bad quality, and i picked the one featured below as i thought it would be easiest to work with. Rebecca taught us to not put texts over a persons face, especially when the album is going to be an introducing album for the artist, (in which mine will be).
Firstly i opened the image that i chose in photoshop and evened out her skin tone and edited it to a much warmer colour. I decided to use only about three main colours to keep it simple yet effective. In terms of the name 'Angelina Hart' i thought it was cliché but thought it fitted quite well, the name has a teenage ring to it similar to 'taylor swift'. Because the album is introducing a new artist i put her name as the biggest thing on the front panel so it would be pretty obvious to identify. The album name is slightly smaller but still bold underneath. For the back panel i used a similar colour to the background image on the front panel, i added a pink rose to the corner to not leave it to plain and to add substance, i believe this does contribute to the cliché teenage look. The track listing and copyright is then also featured on the back along with barcode and record label.
-Unfortunately as i would be introducing a new artist its crucial to be able to see their face so the audience are able to identify them, however this clearly isn't featured in my own.But it wasn't my image and i will improve and take include everything I've learnt when creating my finished product.
