Further Digipak Development

After finishing the front and back cover of our digipak, I started on thelast page our digipak and this was going to be pictures of the band, this was the first arrangement, the background was originally black, but against the pictures it looked too bland. I then experimented with the colour, but myself and katie then agreed that this was too colourful and didn't fit in with the rest of the digipak, and also, the arrangement of the photos didn't look professional. 




 I then had the idea of using a photo of Eynsford Castle that I had taken, I experimented with some different filters and saw this one, I thought it would look good if the red was changed to Amber, to fit in with the name of our band. 
I found an amber texture and put it on top of our image, I put the opacity down and it made this, I then used the magnetic lasso tool on Photoshop so that it was just the sky that was amber. 




 I then put the original band photos back into Photoshop and put a Black and White filter over it, I then used the 'Multiply' tool to make it almost see through, so that you could see the background. 





I then realized that one of the designs I had created, of the boy and girl logos, didn't really fit in with the rest of the digipaks design, and plus not all of our band photos fitted on the same page, so I decided to stretch them over two, and then incorporate the band members names on to it so that the use of the other page that was scraped was still incorporated in some way.


I got the idea for the arrangement of photos from the band Asking Alexandria's most recent album, 'Reckless and Relentless' inside, they have photos of the band in a similar style. 


The middle slide is the one most similar in terms of arrangement to mine, but the filters over all of it are the same.
