Ancillary: Digipack Update.


This is the back cover of my digi-pack, where I have placed the track list, the bar code and the record labels for my artist. I decided to stick with the same colour font which is the same as the front colour of the front cover of the digi-pack. I mainly stuck with the white font from the front cover, as I felt it helped with the flow of the digi-pack and added a touch of simplicity also the font  is the same which is "Century Gothic" from the front cover. I began to really over think the smallest things for the whole digi-pack as I thought mainly about the layout of the track list which is all centered aligned with the bar code, record label and websites. I think the simplicity of the whole digi-pack makes it look exceptionally good and professional if I say so myself. The reason I did the pattern in bold and regular font is mainly because that is what the front cover is like as half the line is in bold with the rest in regular font. I think it was important to take this concept over to the back  cover for the whole flow of the digi-pack as well as that it looks rather odd without it all just being bold or regular. The image for the back cover is actually from a different image from the photoshoot, I felt it was pretty important for the images to have the continuity that the fonts had just because I am the perfectionist I have been labelled as. It took a bit of time to merge both images to make it look like one whole image, but with some blending, a layer mask, some gradients and the clone tool I was able to make it look like a whole image. I tried this technique with multiple images but only one sufficed, which happened to be a similar shot of the artist with similar compositions, but the artist was looking directly at the camera. As the background was more or less the same with slight difference, it made it even more believable to merge.
