The designers sorted through images to find ones suitable for the front cover of a digipak for a band. They chose two images taken on the edge of the band's stage to capture realism. While the first image was jokey, the second image of the band looking serious was deemed more appropriate to sell the album. The designers opened the second image in Photoshop and made minor adjustments to blemishes, increased the brightness, and focused more on the subjects to make them stand out against the background. Having finalized the image, the next step was to choose fonts that suit the image, music style, and band image.

Digipak design analysis
- 1. Digipak Design To start our digipak designing, we sorted through our still images to find those, which we felt would work asa frontcover. Wechose two images, which wehad taken on the edge of our main location set. This was to capturerealism to the band membersas this is wherethey predominately play. The first image is jokey, which we felt was great at capturingthe bands emotions. However in the end we realized the second image wasmore appropriateat selling their album, as they look serious. After a mutualdecision about usingimage 2 as our front cover image, we opened the image up in Photoshop to ensureour image was in pristinecondition. This included modifyingsomeslight blemishes: Additionally, the brightness of our final image was increased, and we increased the focus to the image making our subjects stand out further against the bright background. This is something we found essential, as the band image is what will draw our audience into this CD. Although after these changes our before an after may not appear different, our final image up-close is able to show precision and crisp quality. Having now finalized the image we want to show on the front cover of our digipak, the next step is the text. We need to decide which fonts would suit our image the most while also incorporating the style of music of the band, and the bands image. Before
