Photo Editing


This is an example of how I plan to edit the photos for my digipak. I have experimented with different effects on photoshop to come up with a psychedelic look. I made the image a negative first and applied different colour filters until I found something I liked. From the photo my favourite part is the way Dom's shadow looks due to the effects which makes the shadow appear in two different colours. I will use these effects throughout my digipak keep a constant colour theme throughout.

Font

After doing some research into different typographies, I decided to use this font:

I decided on this font I liked the psychedelic look it had to it. The font catches your eye and it bold and stands out. I also like the roughness to the font which makes it look almost like it is hand draw matching the raw feel that the band capture within their music. This will match up with the manipulated images on my digipak which will also have a eye catching psychedelic feel to them. 

Costumes



For the costumes for my artist I was inspired by the look of 90s grunge bands. This style included band t shirts, flannel shirts, funky shirts and jeans (sometimes ripped)
To make the artist appear my real I changed the outfits in the photoshoot so that they would differ to the outfits seen in the music video. I feel that the aesthetic of the digipak and music is complimented by the outfits and it helps give the whole package a genuine feel.







Artist Photos



Here are two photos from the photoshoot of my artist. These images will appear on the digipak and on the magazine advert. I used a brick wall for the background and setting for the images as this is a setting often used by rock bands. The inspiration comes from The Ramones's debut album cover artwork seen below:


I used natural lighting for the images as it was a bright sunny day when the photoshoot took place. I am happy with how the images turn out and I will not need to re shoot as I have a variety of good images I can use for my product from the shoot.

CD Disks


Here are the CD disks to go along with my digipak. These disks feature a segment of the album cover  along with the same typography as seen on the cover. They are labeled CD 1 & 2 along with 'album' and 'studio extras'. The studio extras disk is a bonus feature to the digipak which will be a dvd showing the making of the album.
The disks have the same colour scheme which match the rest of the digipak. The disks will slot into the casing of the digipak.
