Final digipak

This is our final digipak. It is six panels and five of the six are our own pictures which I took myself and edited using Pixlr online. When we were deciding which pictures to use we made sure that they all were similar. We also decided to use the logo of the actual band as we thought that we should incorporate them in it in some way. The front panel is the bottom right picture. We thought that the picture was a simple and beautiful picture which would show happiness because of the bright colours but because it is simple it suits the genre as most digipaks and album covers of the folk genre as very simple. The writing on it is from the website dafont.com. I thought that the writing was simple and fitted the genre but it also looked good and stood out against the bright background. The panel next to it is the back panel. I also took that photo when we were at Shillingthorpe park and I thought that it was so beautiful that it should be used in our project in some way whether our music video or the advert or the digipak. I edited it on Pixlr, using a the black fade effect around the edges as I used on the front panel. It makes the colours of the picture stand out and makes you look at the picture but also the text that is on it. the text on it is the names and numbers of the tracks. The first one is our actual track and the rest are made up as you don't only have one song on a digipak. The panels next to that is the logo of the actual band. we didn't have any other pictures that would link with the others so we came up with the idea to use their logo. Above the logo panel is a picture from when we were doing the performance video. I cut the background out of the picture and stuck them on a olden wooden stage that you would see in folk videos and then washed out the colour to give it an olden photo effect but to make it simple and soft as well. The panel next to it is where the CD will go. Again I took the photo and edited it to make the colours bright and stand out and then put the name of the band underneath as if the band is suddenly being revealed when you take the CD out. The next panel is a picture of Ronnie and Laura as they are the performers they had to be included somewhere on the digipak. It is a simple photo of just the two of them so that you can see them. The black boxes are the side panels when the digipak is folded.
