The image to the side is the image that I have decided to use for the front cover of my digi-pack as I thought it was one of the bests out of the bunch I had. Mainly inspired by Gabrielle Aplin, I feel this image is quite exceptional in terms of colours, compositions and lighting. The background of the image is out of focus, putting more attention on the artist who clearly has the lightest value which contrasts her from the darker background. The original image was quite dull and lacked anything interesting, so I decided do some color correction using the levels tool which made the dark colors darker and the light colors lighter, improving the overall tone of the image. I then moved on to fixing the skin tone of the artist as I felt the white colour was pretty dominant on the face of the artist, I ended up with a more brown and vintage look which was unplanned but looked way better than without it. I finally went on to fix the artist's using the clone tool, I feel by using this I was able to make the hair look a lot more full and less frizzy in some places. I feel this image links to the music video quite a bit as the green from the background, the black from the costume and red from the lips were all present in the music video.
This is what I have achieved so far, and this happens to the the first panels, the front cover of the digipack. I feel it is pretty good so far, but there are some things I could improve. I think I might have to play with the color of the image a bit more whilst I could improve the framing slightly. I decided to use the "Century Gothic" font as it is the same font that was used for the intro of the music video. This would be good for the whole synergy part for our new artist. I followed the conventions of digi-packs as the artist's name is bigger than the album name, however I feel the font should be different to each thing which is something I will look into as I go more into making the digi-pack.
