Digipak

In todays lesson I started with a very brief idea for our digipak. We had already decided as a group that we were going to use photos of our solo artist to use her as our selling point and capture her in interesting outfits to highlight her interest in fashion. Looking at other fashion orientated digipaks, I begun to understand the focus points. These consisted of the use of complimentary colours that comprise of deep, mellow tones rather than bright, obnoxious tones. Furthermore, the use of minimalism when it comes to the composition of the pages, creating a slick and less chaotic digipak.

 

These first digipaks I made were with draft photos to experiment with and use to combine with different colours, patterns and compositions to see what worked best. I will be taking professional looking photos of Kiera in specific outfits to use for the final outcome.

When editing my draft Digipak, I found a couple of techniques useful in making the image look interesting and stylised for the covers. With this photo of Kiera's outfit, I used the editing tool, 'posterise' to create this comic effect on the image. I further altered the exposure and colour palette of the image, allowing it to fit well with the background colour. Both of these techniques I have used I felt were the most successful aspect I took from playing around with this digipak design.
