Editing my digipak
- 2. This is my image in colour after editing this by changing the colour of my actress’ lipstick; brightness and shadows as well as increasing the saturation to make the red background look more vibrant. This is the image in black and white with a pop of colour in the lipstick. This idea came from Rick Ross’ (hip hop artist) album cover which the image was black and white with bursts of colour.
- 3. I chose to make this image look a little more girly by changing the lipstick colour from blue to purple and adding pink hearts around the image however I felt as though this did not look as conventional as existing album artwork by Beyoncé. I also added red to the word ‘hype’ written on the shirt to give it more colour. This effect makes the image look posterised by brightening some areas. I liked this however did not feel as though it came across as a ‘sassy’ image which I wanted to go for.
- 6. I have used the tools below to enhance the look of the original image before applying font and other images.
- 7. Here, I have added white text in the font style ‘Bebas Neue’ free from www.fontsquirrel.com. After importing the image I used the magic wand tool to remove the white background so only the letters were left. I then added this pink text in the font style ‘Bebas Neue’ also and used the warp tool in order to adjust the look of the image. I liked the idea of pink and white because they contrast and are girly colours, also the capitals reinforce the attitude theme. In order to conform to the conventions of existing albums I added the parental advisory image to the bottom left of the album. This is because some of my scenes are categorised as suitable for an audience above 15 yrs old.
- 8. I initially was going to use the same font for my artist’s name as the title of the album however after receiving feedback it was most preferred by my peers to use the font style to the right which is ‘Always in my heart’ from www.dafont.com.
- 9. I made a rectangular shape and filled it with pink colour. I then added the font to make my sticker seem more realistic. I didn’t realise that I was writing ‘Flawless’ which is the album name therefore had to change this to ‘Feeling Myself’ by Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj is a friend of Beyonce’s and she has featured in the song Feeling Myself with Nicki too which is why I specifically chose this song to feature on the sticker and on the track list.
