Digipak Progress

Today I added several more features to my digipak in order to increase the professionalism of the product.

I added a hue and saturation to all of the covers in order to boost the colour, especially in the interior of the artists coat. As the 3 images of the artist on the front cover were all in focus and clear, it did not match the theme of metamorphosis as successfully as it could. I made the central image of a lower opacity, and further reduced the opacity of the third image to make it almost invisible yet making sure it was still noticeable as this would draw away from this effect. 

To increase this effect, I added the filter 'wind' to both images in order to make out as if he was moving off the bench. This worked successfully adding this filter twice to the centre image, and 3 times to the last image. This made the image less hard to see which is what I wanted to achieve in order to make the audience focus on the initial starting image. I believe the way I wanted 'metamorphosis' to appear in not just the title but also the images have been extremely successful. Moreover this motif can now be included throughout all media products I will create. 
The font I chose for the artists name - George Peachtree, I wanted to make it look like the album had been personally signed by the artist. I had to ensure that the fonts used for this signature and the font used for the title of the digipak, complimented each other and did not distract the audience from paying attention to the main features. 

I began to edit the inner case for my digipal. Likewise with the front cover, I made the image have a stronger hue and saturation to accentuate the colours within the original image. To follow my theme, I used the same growing transformation of the title 'Metamorphosis' to follow the definition of this word as this is the motif thorough my products. The artists name also appears around the circular shape of the CD. This is again in the same style as the original font as this enhances the theme and star image of my artist. I followed an intense, detailed tutorial on how to produce the grass effect on my grass CD tray. By using a grass texture, it accentuated the importance of nature in my products as this again is a common theme in my work. Using an extreme close up for the background, the slight outer blur conveys how the main focus of this part of the digipak, is the inner tray for the CD.
