Digipak Creation Process

First I uploaded my photo to Adobe Photoshop, and adjusted the contrast and saturation so that the photo looked more vibrant thus giving it a strong, summery feel.

Next, I changed the colour balance of the photo in order to get rid of the murky-brown colour of the bottom of the image and to emphasise the blue tones of the sky and the sea, making it more
vibrant.

To accentuate the blue tones even further, I added a sky-blue filter over the top of the image.

Then, in Adobe Illustrator, I started to draw the geometric pattern. To do this, I used the ‘Ellipsis’ tool to create a 500pt circle.

Then, I used the ‘Ellipsis Tool’ to create 250pt circles that I placed inside the larger circle.

Next, I used the ‘Polygon Tool’ to create two triangles, which I placed inside the geometric pattern.

Then, I copied and pasted the pattern onto my edited photo on Adobe Photoshop.

Next, I used the ‘Inverse Tool’ to turn the colour of the lines from white to black.

In order to make the white pattern more visible, I decreased the brightness of the photo.

Next, I used the ‘Magic Wand’ tool to select a segment of the geometric pattern. I then used the ‘Rectangular Marquee Tool’ to move the segment to another part of the photo. I then selected the
background and pressed ‘Copy and Paste’ which gave me a duplicate of the background in the shape of the segment. I then moved the segment back to it’s original position and repeated this for the rest
of the pattern.

This is the completed pattern.

Next, I used the ‘Noise Tool’ to give the overall photo a vintage, retro feel. This worked well as it helped to connote the indie/alternative genre that this digipak was for.

Finally, I added the typography to the photo. I chose to use a white font, as this fit with the colour scheme, and round capital letters, creating a modern feel. Furthermore, I put the typography in the
corner of the image so that it wouldn’t overshadow the geometric pattern in the middle.
