I spent today concentrating on getting at least the front and back cover of my digi-pak finished. For the front cover i went onto a site called fontspace.com which allows you to get more interesting fonts and transfer them to your own images. Once i had my font i changed the colour to grey so that it would be clearly visible on both the black and white parts of the image, and proceeded to move them about until i thought it looked okay. I put the name of the band in the top left and album name bottom right and decided that the image of the person standing on an empty with the skateboard was the best image to use, as it all just seemed to fit together right.
For the back cover i used the image i previously mentioned of the crowd which i edited with a photocopy effect and cropped and adjusted it until it was the right size. I then used the same font as before for the track names as i didn't want to make it seem like too much was going on or for it to just look tacky. I had to put the layers in a certain order so that the white rectangle that came around the font wasn't visible as is was underneath the main crowd image. This however meant that to see the writing i had to keep on adjusting the brightness and contrast until it was clear enough to read.
I then got the measurements for the width and height across the front, spine and back cover so that i could put the images into one and see how they look against each other and how well they fit. The measurements are 12.45cm high and 28cm long.
