DigiPak Design Back Cover

 -The Plan-

When we planned out our DigiPak, we wanted to use a photo of the polaroids as the back cover - where the song names will be featured. This is another important part of the DigiPak as when an audience looks at the front of a CD they will then check the back to see what music is on it. So, this cover has to be effective but also needs to accentuate the text more than anything else. That's why we decided on this photo, because it is an important part of the music video but it is also simple enough to show the text in detail. 

Once we had designed it we had to choose a photo. Since we had not taken photos at the time and we had burnt all the polaroids, we had to choose a screenshot from the actual video (as shown above). However, we didn't like the composition and as a result we decided to zoom it in so that the polaroids covered the whole screen. We then did a bit of colour correction to accentuate the blacks and whites in the photo before overlaying text on the top. We chose the same font as on the front cover and we used the colour black so that it could be seen over the top of the picture. 

The feedback we received from this draft of the back cover was that the text was hard to read and, when compared to our purple colour-scheme amended design, it just did not fit. So we decided to darken the background and add a tint of purple to it. But then we couldn't see the text, so we decided to add a glow around the text that accentuated it more. Our final product is below.
