Construction of inner panels


As part of my 8 panel I thought of using one picture that will stretch out across the 4 panels that will open up.

I cropped the picture and then divided into 4 sections, 2 of with were for the disks inside the digipak.


I then edited the picture by changing the contrast and the colour hue.


I first cropped the picture so that the shoes were the centre of the frame.




I divided the picture down the middle so that these would the be first inner panels that would open up to the panels underneath.



I wanted to make the shoe in the picture stand out more and the colours brighter, so I did this by changing the brightness and contrast and also the colour hue



Back cover construction




To make the back cover look authentic I added a bar code from the internet and put it in the bottom left corner. I also added writing on the bottom to also make it look authentic and changed the record label company's name to the one that I made up and also the copyright. The font is the same that I used on the front cover.



Here is how I constructed my copy right logo and my record label logo:


The most professional looking logos are usually the simplest ones. So for this logo all I did was draw a black circle and then put the initials in the circle, in white, towards the top of the circle. I then added 3 thick white lines below the letters and then duplicated the logo on to the back cover.






I then put the front cover and the back cover side by side so when I edited the picture, I'd want it to complement the front and not look out of place



This is how I made my record label logo.

The name that I had chosen for my record label was 'Awesome Records'.


I wanted to keep the logo as simple as possible







This is another logo that I made and added to my back cover.







I added a DVD logo on the back because I am including a DVD disk of the music video in my digipak as an addition to the CD. I then put the track list on it to give it a finished look.

Front cover construction


I started off by using the image that was in my 3rd album cover draft and then re-sizing it so it was a perfect square. 



I started off by changing the brightness and the contrast so that the image was more clear and brighter.




I wanted the album cover to reflect the blue hue of my music video so I increased the blue in the picture. This also made the background brighter so that the leaves were again, more prominent.






I then finished off the album by adding the text from the draft on to the newly edited photo.

Adjustments to the music video


When filming, not all of my shots turned out the way I wanted to and the light and hue of the picture didn't match and correspond to the rest of my video.

For example in this shot, there is more of a green colour in the picture but the rest of my video is more of a blue.













I fixed this by changing the colour grain within the shot. In this particular shot I lessened the green and made the percentage of blue so it looked brighter and clearer.






















The issue I had with this shot was that it was darker than i had hoped and the jacket of the woman slightly blended into the background.




To fix this I increased the saturation and lessened the contrast. Even though I only adjusted 2 things on both of the shots but it was very effective in achieving the outcome that I wanted.
