We created the digipak on Photoshop, and it really allowed us to extend our skills with using the tools on photoshop.
To begin with, Tom took a picture of a brick wall in school and then i made it to the size i wanted; A4. This was for the background, and is the picture we continued to use for our digipak panels.
Then, we took the pictures that we took for the digipak, and individually cut them out using the magnetic lasso, which attaches itself to recognisable edges. Any mistakes it makes can be changed by pressing 'Q' on the keyboard, in order to 'tidy up'.
From here, we had toput each picture into the 'Filter Gallery', where we could add effects to make it look more graffitied, as if it had been graiffiti'd onto the wall, as shown below. We had to apply the same filters to each person.
Someone else recommended to us the website www.dafont.com, which offers a wide range of free downloadable fonts. We searched 'graffiti', and 'spraypaint', and ended up using a font called 'cityburn'. We then continued to use this font on our digipak too.
The below image is the original magazine advert that we created, however upon analysis of it, we decided it was too crowded with too much text, and so we removed one of the ratings, and rearranged the positioning of the HMV and iTunes logo.
