image for digipak



This is the image I have taken and edited to use as the inside cover, I will add some text and put it on the Digipak template to see what it looks like against the other images. I have changed the colour balance and the curves within this image to get the colours and this effect.

first draft (un-finished) digipak



This is a draft of my Digipak with the final front and back covers included. I like the two images I have used and the composition of the text on both link well because I have used the same font (as planned). I think both the images been simple and quite similar was a good thing to do because it matches expected conventions of an album, although, I plan to create an image that will be different for the inside cover.

back of album (final draft - to go on Digipak)

I am using this as the finished back cover to add to the Digipak. I think the writing is more of a focus on this draft and although it is different to my hand-drawn one, I think it looks just as effective or even more so because with the cropped image, there is less of a background distracting the audience.

first draft - album back


This is my first draft of what will be the back of the Digipak, it is accurate to my hand-drawn draft and looks how I expected it to but after seeing it in digital format I think I could imporve it quite a bit. I will try to edit it so that the writing doesn't look as lost as it does at the minute.

album cover (final draft)


This is my final draft of the album cover, I am happy with both the image and text now that I have manipulated th first drafts a little, and I think overall, it works well and looks like an album cover. I have changed the album title to it's actual name because I think it looks better using a longer title than the short one I had used in previous drafts. 

second draft - album cover


This is the second draft of the cover, I think this image works a lot better because it seems more fitting for an album cover. I plan to change the text under the artists name because I want to give the album it's actual title 'Like I used to'. I will also crop the image further so that the image is the right size & dimension to be the square cover.

first draft album cover


This is the first draft of my album cover - I aimed to create a simple cover, however, I think this one looks too basic. I also want to move the text because I think the positioning looks a bit odd and for some reason I think it looks more like a poster than an album cover.
