Process of creating front and back images of my Digipak
I first began by selecting an image I wanted to use for my front and back image, it had to be the most symmetrical one there as well as the best image of that artist. When I had chosen that image, the first thing it was that I did was to remove the background and make it completely white. I then duplicated the photo as you can see in the first image which would allow me to use the same image but cut bits out of one and change the colour of one and add it to the original, and vise versa. I experimented with how I could go about what it was I was trying to achieve.
I made my background image of her black and white by using one of the effects and left the duplicate as the original colour.
I then used the magic wand to draw around the mouth so it became a loose part of the duplicate image.
I then decided that it would look good if in the image the eye colour was also present, do I used the same tool to draw around the eye so I would be able to move it into the black and white image.
This is the what it looked like after I had done this with both the two eyes and the lips, and then erased the rest of the duplicate image.
I then used some effects for the colouring to brighten the lips and eye colour, making them more stylised like my video is. It would also allow the colours to stand out more. I then opened up my finished image in word, twice, so I had two of the same images in order for me to split them in half.
I then split in half the first image before using it as a guideline to help split the other image, so it was perfect, as you can see below.
I then made one of the background for the image black as I thought at first that I wanted the half side on the front white and the half of the other on the back of the album's background to be white. After checking they fit perfectly together as if they were the original image, I took the first one I wanted to work on into an open work space and began to create it, as you can see below.
From these images, you can see how I was able to play around with how I wanted the font to look. I chose shadows and darkening lighting to bring it to life.
And that's how I created the picture for the front and back of the Digipak, and how I created my overall front image.
