Digipack: Stages of Front Cover

As we previously decided, our back cover was to be a landscape shot at golden hour (the location being the same place our front cover photo had been taken to enhance continuity).

Once we had decided upon the photo we were to use, we began planning into the construction of what was to go where i.e. where to place the text in accordance to the artists face.

We decided to use lower case font rather than uppercase, with more of flowing look, which adds to the Gaia earth goddess ambiance of our front cover. We were also having issues with deciding upon a name for our artist, so we reverted back to the original artist of the song, ‘Birdy’.

We cropped the image so that it is in the rule of thirds; here is the idea implemented upon the image in use:


As I previously stated, our back cover is to be a landscape image at golden hour; to link our back image to our front image, to further enhance continuity within our digipack, we thought we should edit our front image to mimic this golden hour.

To ensure the final front cover was to our exact liking, we played around with many different features including a white gradient fill (as initially designed), a lens flare and the levels of the image.
