Planning : Introduction to Digipaks




During our lesson we were shown how to use photoshop software. We were also introduced to  QuarkXpress, both had different effects but i decided i would rather use photoshop seeing as i had used it before.

It was an exciting task trying to make a digipak for who was our artist Dan, firstly i had to chose the right picture to make a successful front cover. The layout was important, the composition of the images, text, titles and names all had to be taken into consideration and i did some research in order to see digipaks in the music industry.

The tutorial and muck about proved successful, there were many options that made them prime editing programs to make a digipaks. These were some of the editing tools that could be used to edit the digipak.







The effects bar was easy to use, simply dragging these effects onto the layer, it would change its appearance according to the  effect you use. The layers toolbar was easy to use, by clicking the button that looks like an eye makes a layer visible or not, this helped to quickly see whether certain parts of the digipak should be removed or not. The toolbar at the top of photoshop can be used to open files, save, edit text etc.The toolbar on the left was used to select, drag, crop, add shapes etc.
