Making of The Final Digipak

This is my final digipak design. It took a lot of effort and hard work to get it right and I am pleased with the end result.

 For the front cover of my digipak, I used the Jack Daniels label and erased all the white writing on it and replaced it with the text and logos I needed. I used the label as the song title mentions whiskey and I thought it was an appropriate idea to use. In the feedback session, the class told me that they preferred this idea to the rest of them.

 The back cover of my digipak is a guitar neck edited onto a black background. To get only the neck of the guitar, I used the Polygonal Lasso tool. The reason why I chose the neck of the guitar is because of the two shredding solos in the song. In the feedback session, the class told me that they preferred this idea to the rest of them. I used the text tool to do the track listing and to also list the names of the band members.

 For the inside front of my digipak, I have chosen to put the lyrics next to still images I took from my video. I chose to do the images in black and white because the narrative is all in black and white. I used the text tool to write out the lyrics and I used Trajan Pro 5.5 font to write it. I used Trajan Pro for all the text I used on the digipak.



For the inside back of my digipak, I used a still image of the vocalist as the storyline revolves around them. I had to flip the image otherwise it would have been upside down in the final product when it had been cut out.

 To make the digipak more realistic, I used the record label logo, DVD video label and a barcode. I got the two logos off google and I got the barcode off a free barcode generator.
