Today we began creating our digipak, we played around with a few editing software's such as Picmonkey and Be Funky before we found one that allowed us to create the idea that we wanted for our front cover; an image made up of lots of diamond-shaped segments of a face. We played around with the editing tools and made ourselves accustomed to the software before attempting to create our product.
Our first attempts...
We began creating our collage for our digipak front cover freehand before later considering using a template, it was difficult to create an image we were happy with without a template as the photographs looked messy and unstructured, however, our first attempts allowed us to play with the tools and get accustomed to the software, it also allowed us to see the standard that we would be happy going forward with regarding our digipak.
Our first prototype...
This was the first creation that we were actually happy with, but we knew it still needed to be improved, we needed to add text and we also weren't entirely happy with the image of the purple lips, we felt that it didn't fit as effectively as the other images did.
We then added text to our product in order to play around with the positioning to see where the text would look effective. We were happy with this placement and the colour of the text, however, we are considering changing the font when it comes to editing again. This font looks fairly basic and we need the font to really grip our audience so that they'll be more likely to engage with our album. We are also considering using Lorde's typical font that she uses across many of her album/single covers:
By using Lorde's typically used font, we can relate back to our artist whilst being individual by creating our own album art with original images.
Finally, we decided to change the image of the purple lips to this one of half a bow, we are lots happier with this image in the arrangement and feel that we made the right choice changing it. Overall, we are happy with our first day of editing for our digipak front cover and are looking forward to playing around with the text next time and seeing if there are other ways in which we can further enhance our product.
