Poster

For my poster I used the image that featured on my discs from my digipack, for the background and then for the centre image I decided to use the one that feature on the front panel of my digipack so that it linked.
As for the fonts I used the same font for RAINA as well as for the Album name.
I also put her website address as a link for people to use and her social media links can be found on the website. 

Digipak - So Far

Digipack - Extra Disc Edit

For adding in the second disc I got rid of the top left image that I had and added text under the album name text to distinguish  between the DVD that holds the music video and the CD that holds the songs on the album. 

Digipak - Track List Changes

To improve my track list panel I slightly changed the size of the "Tracks" text and adjusted its positioning so that I could move the song list up higher in order to create space for the copyright information and the barcode. This also resulted in the song list and the "Tracts" text being in closer proximity than before. I also had to reposition the neon palm tree to make room for the added elements.

Changes to be made to my digipak

After completing my first draft of my digipak I identified a few changes that needed to be made: 

• I need to add a second disc panel as there needs to be a DVD for the music video and a CD for the songs.
• I need to edit the layout of the track list panel to make space for some elements that I have missed. 
• I need to add a barcode. 
• I need to ad the production logo and the copyright details. 

Digipak - Overview

Digipak - Top Left Panel

For the last panel on the top left hand side of the digipak I just used an image from the Gods Own Junkyard shoot and then adjusted the highlights and the lowlights and altered the opacity of the image. 

Digipak - Youth Panel

Having a similar design to the dreams panel made this panel quite quick to create.

To do the text I duplicated the "Dreams" text and just changed the word so it remained the same formatting.

As for the image I just adjusted the opacity and the brightness as well as adjusting slightly the highlights in the image.

Digipak - Dreams Panel

For the bottom left panel I wanted an image that linked in with the trees that feature in the track list panel, the disc panel and the front panel.
This photo that we took at God's Own Junkyard fitted that criteria as it has the leafy branch positioned in front of our artist. This image tied in nicely. To edit this image I adjusted the brightness, the contrast, and the opacity of the image.

The text over the image I adjusted the outer glow to give it that neon light affect like I did on the "Tracks" text on the tracks panel.
The reason I chose the word "Dreams" is because it is one of the song titles on the album.

Digipak - Disc

For the disc panel I used the same technique as I did for the RAINA text to create the circular disc shape and then did the same with the background image and a smaller circle in order to give the illusion of the hole in the middle of the disc.

The text on the disc is the name of the album which I just duplicated from the front panel of the digipack.

For this panels I kept the colour theme of purple and made sure it featured the neon light by using the same image for the disc that can be found on the front panel. As this disc panel doesn't feature one of the Gods Own Junkyard photos, linking the RAINA text and the disc using the image helped link it and make it flow better with the rest of the digipak. 

Digipak -Track List

For the track list I wanted it to be quite simple however I still wanted it to hold that same neon theme featuring the colour purple. I decided to use a black background to keep it simple but to add in a few things to bring in that neon purple theme.
Over the black background I edited the following two images to create the two leaning neon pole lights. On the right side of the track list. And played with the luminance of lights in the image before cropping them and stretching to create these to long leaning neon lights that can me seen on the track list image.

For the neon light palm tree I also edited the luminosity of the light before placing it on the black background and then using the smudge and blur tools on photoshop I blended it into the background to make the glow seem a little more natural instead of being squared off at the corners and sides.
In terms of the text I wanted the text I wanted the writing to glow like the neon lights. To do this I edited the outer glow of the word, changing the opacity and noise level as well as the contour range and the spread of the element.

For the list of tracts I used two fonts that I downloaded from DaFont instead of default fonts that you would find on the MAC font list.

Below is my finished Track list panel: 

Digipak - Front

Digipak - RAINA Text

For the front of my digipak I wanted the artist name "Raina" to be more prominent over the image as well as to correspond with the neon purple theme. In order to do this I had the idea to to put an image inside the text. This way I could select an image that encompasses the required colour and neon glow. Not knowing how to do this I researched for a tutorial on youtube to assist me in achieving this.
