The digipak is almost complete, however our ideas have developed we have made some small changes. We have the disk pane, the reflection, and the red guitar, while the last few we are still tweaking. It was suggested to us that with the cymbal image it was not clear what the coloured object was. Therefore on the 26th I took some new images of the cymbal and a drumstick and at the same of the band for the front cover. I used the same techniques as before, creating a black and white effect with a mask layer, adjusting and darkening the background and increasing the contrast.
We had a few variations of the front image but we decided on one of the band simply in a line, slightly behind one another. due to the constraints of the square frame, I had to move them slightly closer together in Photoshop. After this I created an abstract background and used blend layers to make the band members colourful. In order to make them stand out from the background I used a clipping mask with the background and created a background copy to which I applied the posterize effect and. Finally I added the album/band name in the font `impact label` with a white square behind to make the text white, after experimenting with different areas and angles we decided on its final position.
