Front Cover
For the front cover we decided not to use any images including the group members, so we chose to use two images of the powder paint across the floor and then merge them together to make the final image look more vibrant and more effective. When we had merged both images together we decided to play around with the colours and filters to make it more eye-catching and attractive, and after this was one we agreed that the blue/green and purple combination worked really well and we felt it represented the group really well as well as attracting our target audience. The paint splatters at the bottom of the cover are paint brushes that we downloaded from the internet. We chose a serious of shades of purple and added the paint brush onto the cover with the different shades of purple and we all really liked the outcome. We decided to have the fonts in a white colour as they needed to be clear and they needed to stand out against the background. We all agreed white would make it stand out and it would contrast with the vibrant colours in the background. We added a white shape around the text of the album title as we wanted it to be different to the artist name, and I think it makes a good impact on the image by adding more attention to the album name.
Back Cover
Our album back cover was a lot simpler to make as we only had to add the text and the different images onto the original image. For our main image we experimented with the brightness and the saturation to make the powder paint as bright as possible but still keeping the powder paint theme visible. We then had to add the important extra images onto the back cover. These images include the logo of the record label, the barcode, and the copyright message. We found the image of the barcode on the internet and we placed that onto the cover. When finding a logo we had to experiment with different types as we wanted it to stand out against the background. We eventually had to find an all white logo as we knew it would show up well against the background. For the copyright message we researched what needed to be included and we then typed that onto a PowerPoint document and copied that onto the back cover at the bottom by the logo and the barcode. The font for the track names we used the Demi Lovato Neon Lights font on DaFont as we thought it would match the album cover well. We had the font in a white colour so it would show up against the dark background. We made sure the texts were all the same size and they weren't too close to each other as we wanted it to look simple.
Full Album
This is the full album cover with both covers side by side. For the spine we agreed to have it plain black with white writing sticking to the same fonts. This was done because we didn't overpower the album cover and we didn't too busy. We wanted all the focus and attention on the front and back cover rather than the spine. I am really happy with the outcome of our Digipak and I think it looks really professional and it represents our band well.
