Inside of Digi-Pak Progress

I started to make my inside cover for my digipak. I decided that for this I would make a collage of images taken of my actress and write a personal message or some sort of lyrics. Once I put together all of the images which I wanted to use and arranged them in a pleasing way, I then had to make a decision on whether I like it in black and white, or colour with the effect I had used on my other digipak pictures. 

This is the inside cover in black and white. I like it because it is very contrasting but it is also odd as all the rest of my digipak images are in colour therefore when all put together it would stand out as being different and not showing continuity.

This is my digipak inside cover in colour. I prefer this to the black and white version a lot more as it livens up the whole picture. It makes the inside cover stand out with all the different colours and the filter I put on it makes it even more vivid. Once I had decided this I then had to think about the message/lyrics that I would be writing on top. I came to the conclusion of using a section of lyrics from the song that I have made a music video for, "On the day you wake up needing somebody and you've learn it's okay to be affraid". I chose these lyrics as they are meaningful and I feel that the people who would buy and listen to this album would find these lyrics inspiring. I then put the name of my artist after the lyrics and they are by her. "Harper Hayden". Next I had to choose a font which fitted and a colour which stood out against the coloured background.

This is the first font I chose to write my message in. I liked it but it didn't quite fit the rest of my digipak, the font was too different. Although the font wasn't right I liked the colours which I chose. I make two layers with the message on both, one in white, and one in the green colour I have been using throughout the whole digipak. I did this because the green colour alone wasn't very visible on top of the images. Therefore, I put the white beneath i which made it stand out a lot more and made it readable.

 

Keeping the colours the same as the previous message font I tried, I only changed the font this time. I found a font which suited the digipak more, it is thinner and more appropriate. I like the look of this font more and I will use it for other parts of my digipak.
