Construction of digipak









When finishing off the digipak, we decided to insert a CD cover first, the original is shown above where it blends into the background of the ripped paper with the black text on the cover. After gaining some teacher feedback, saying that it would look better in black and white for the CD, we decided to change it and the results looked a lot better. This is because it doesn't blend into the cover and instead stands out against the white. This also suits the colour scheme of the rest of the digipak as it runs in black, white and red.
This crumpled paper effect was also created in photoshop using the x tutorial and the ripped paper added to this effect with y tutorial. We decided to do this as it subtly links to the music video because in one of the cutaways, the lead singer crumples a lyrics page and throws it away, we thought this would add to a recurring theme. Originally, we were going to have lyrics carrying out onto the CD, but we decided it wouldn't fit the conventions of a digipak, so instead we'll have them running on the bottom left panel of the digipak.




On the top right of the digipak, originally we had this image, although it looked slightly out of place and we were recommended by the teacher feedback to desaturate the image as the green and orange of the leaves outside were quite overpowering in the image and it made the models look out of place.
