Digipak Progression



Before Christmas I had only begun to design my Digipak and deciding what colours would go well and match our aspect of Synergy - Lights. I knew I would want to overlap images and merge them together through changing th opacity but finding these images was a vital process as they would have to match the images I'd chosen for the outside and inside of the Digipak


Outside/Front Cover:

Inside:

I searched for images that has bokeh lights as I would want to use them for overlapping and for the spine of the CD cover. I first found an image of purple and pink bokeh lights which matched our colour scheme. However, I saw that aspects of the image were blurry and I wanted to add an effect that would make it look abstract.


On Photoshop I found this effect called 'Liquidify' which allowed me to use a brush tool and distort the image so the lights looked like they were melting.



Although this effect may create the impression it would make my Digipak seem a little odd, I feel that it works and the brightness of the colours link to our synergy idea.  
The next step was to look at the type of fonts I would use which would link to my genre. I knew that I did not want to use a cursive or times new roman style font as it would create the impression that the genre of musci would be classical. I found a font called Lao MN which matched what I wanted to accheive it was streched out and quite sharp. 



I am happy with the choices and effects that I have made sofar and have almost finished my Digipak but still need to do my poster.
