Light Bulb image:

Light Bulb image: 

Having taken multiple images, we merged the two together on Photoshop to produce this image below. We were glad that this image reflected the two major motifs of our video (light bulbs and trees) as it helped to intensify our bands star image. Having edited the photo we added this to our website front page, and decided to place it on one of the panels of our digi-pak.

Digi-Pak

Digi-Pak:


Having decided that we wanted our dig-pak to centre around images of the wood, we began to construct the four panels. We wanted the front cover to involve a striking image of the 'front man' of the band, and the name 'Carter James' in larger lettering. Having used a particular font on the website, we decided to replicate it on the album so that the two are close to identical. We hope that this would draw a link between the two products and make them recognisable to consumers. As the main thematic element of the digi-pak centred around the woods, we decided to incorporate this on the back of the digi-pak and on the CD page as well. To do this, we zoomed in and cut out pieces of the woods from the centre image, thus they all have the same colour palette. This establishes a link between the panels and adds to the bands authenticity, and organic star image.

Here is the images that we hope to use:


This is to be the front image of the digi-pak. We still need to adjust the text, so that it is more in the centre but apart from that, we are happy with this as a front cover image.



This is to be the back panel of the digi-pak. We made up some other song names in order to make the digi-pak look more realistic, and we used the same font and colour scheme as on the front. We still need to add a barcode and the labels image to the back cover, as only then will it look really realistic.



This is to be the image underneath the CD, thus we did not want it to be overly exciting. As a result, we decided to continue the theme of the woods by having a stylistic image of fallen trees. As this image will be partially obscured by the CD, we did not want to add any text to this image, as it would only be lost.

Having decided three of the panels, we began to brainstorm ideas for the inside cover. Some members of the group argued for another image of the 'front man', but I argued against this, as I felt that we needed to incorporate the other band members as well. As a result, we came to the decision that we would take four headshots of the band members and put them in the front cover, thus signalling that it was not just a sole artist work, but a collaboration of people.
