Improvements to the digipak design

In order to conform to the expectations of the target audience, I have improved my digipak design further. From recent research, I found that a convention of the alternative/indie genre's marketing was to include a symbol that the audience could recognise. This symbol was indeed, a triangle.

As I have shown here, there is now evidence of faint triangular shapes in the design.

1) I have added this triangle on the front cover. This will be the first thing the customer will see, and so I thought it would be very important for the symbolism to be included here. Even though I have filled the entire cover with it, it it not overpowering in the composition as I have lowered the opacity of the shape.

2) This image shows the digipak as a whole. This one demonstrates the importance of the triangle in the design of the front cover. I have left it out, to compare with the one above. I think it look lacking without it.

The two CDs have also had faint triangles introduced to their design at this stage.

3) This image just shows you all the layers and groups I have used in Photoshop to organise my production.

I organised them as following:

Cover Left

Cover Right

Middle

CD Left

CD Right

Background

4) This image illustrates a stage of my construction in photoshop. Here I was adding a Shape Layer. I lowered the opacity and made the layer an Overlay. The white edge around is just a selection in Photoshop and is not a creative decision.

OTHER ADJUSTMENTS

I brightened the text of 'Look at that rabbit go!' on the front cover. This was to ensure legibility after getting friends to proof read my digipak.
