The document describes the design process for a digipak and booklet. Key steps included:
1) Choosing a black, navy and grey color palette and adding textures to the digipak cover.
2) Selecting a sans serif font called "Coolvetica" to use consistently.
3) Adding stock images and scissor lines to the back cover and front cover respectively to separate audio and visual elements.
4) Creating band member pages by combining cut out images on a navy background and adding shadowed text.
2. For the front cover of the digipak I used a black background with grey detail. I also added a texture to the top and bottom of the cover and then added a navy overlay layer to that so that it would fit in with the primarily black, navy and grey colour palette that I had chosen. Next, I added still images that were taken at the student demonstration where I filmed the majority of my music video and after using the magic wand tool to select sections of them placed them between the texture details. I then copied the background and texture detail onto the other two panels so that it would look consistent on each cover.
3. After experimenting with different font styles on dafont.com I decided that a sans serif font would stand out well from the detail on the digipak and chose âcoolveticaâ. After installing it I was then able to add text to each panel of the digipak.
4. To prevent the back of the digipak from being to plain and to separate the audio and visual features of the digipak I used a stock image to create scissor lines. I also added this detail to the front of the digipak as I liked the effect that it created. To make it stand out from the images on the front cover I used the drop shadow tool.
5. To create the band pages of the digipak booklet I used the selection tool to cut out sections from two images of each member and then combined them on a navy background. Using the same font as the rest of the digipak I added the members name to the middle of the two pictures and used the drop shadow tool to make the text stand out.
6. For the biography and contact pages of the booklet I used plain navy or black backgrounds to keep within the colour palette and used the add text tool to add details in the same font used on the rest of the digipak.
