Digipack back cover and ideas.

 Today starting the digipack design, as a group we had to come up with a image we thought was suitable for the Indie theme that represented our group. I had a few pictures at home that I thought would fit this genre, and bringing them in, we decided which ones would suit the direction we were planning to take the covers.

For example these are some of the pictures:

Finally deciding upon a more urban outlook, we picked the street-shot as it seemed to represent the rather grubby feel that you would expect from our song-type and the street's theme of the band.

In Photoshop we got to work editing the image so that we could use it for the back of our CD.

To create the style we used the font Bell Gothic and using different layers to not make the piece look too crowded, we arranged the suitable track names into an order that we found compelling to the eye and would not cause any off-putting features. We also edited the cover with the use of the filter CUT-OUT to give a more stylized feel. Finally adding the usual items we see on everyday CD's like the bar code and the record company, we had finalized our idea for the finished product.

The design of the D&M logo came about after it was decided that the logo needed to be eye-catching, yet more or less simple so we do not distract the attention from the actual subject. As for the fact that this is an independent record company, we had to make it as recognisable as possible, but still held a professional image. 

For the rest of the digipack inserts, we looked at the actual performance footage and capturing certain shots, we applied effects that we believed would suit the theme, all eventually deciding on CUT-OUT as the best style.

Finally deciding on Cut-out, we used much more colourful shots of the footage that would contrast greatly with the rest of the black and white image.
