Final Draft Digipak Outside Panels

Copyright info

The copyright information on the back of albums is something I don't ever take notice of however to provide realism it needed to be there. To help me know what to write I used Mumford & Sons' Album Babel this way I knew that what I wrote would be fitting with the Genre and look professional.

Air Brushing The Digipak

Like most humans, celebrities have imperfect skin. To make them more appealing on album covers and in magazines editors use Photoshop to make any small imperfections disappear. To keep true to the industry I decided to airbrush a close up picture of my artist to get rid of any spots. To do this I used the Spot Healing tool in photoshop which covers the spots with colour and texture from the surrounding area.

Magazine ad mock up

This is a practice/plan of my magazine ad. I did this so I can get a clear idea of the route i was taking, so when I go on photoshop it will be easier as I already have a concept of what i am doing. Although I changed many things in the final product such as the image a text color, it helped me with the layout and where the text will be 

Changing the colour of text to fit conventions

The collage below illustrates the changes I made to my magazine cover in order for it to match with the album cover. I originally was going to have the writing green throughout however it didn't go well on my album cover therefore changed it to white, which meant I had to change it on my magazine ad aswell. The bottom right picture shows me making amendments to the colour of the writing to white so both match. The image on the bottom left of the collage shows the final product.

Making amendments to my magazine cover

In this picture it is evident that I am changing the font of the text in my magazine cover. I did this after I decided to change the font on the album cove. As the fonts must correlate in order to follow the conventions I changed the font of the magazine cover to 'copper black' as I am seen doing below
