MS: Digipak Design 2

I began editing photos on Adobe Photoshop CS3. After a lot of trial and error I found an effect that makes photos look like drawings called "Sketch". The sketch feature was approved by the group and gave a homemade feel to the Digipak artwork.

I removed the colour and lowered contrast, whilst hightening brightness of the photos. This process allowed me to create an album with photos that look like rough sketches on plain paper, different to our original ideas.



This is the album cover photo prior to any photoshop effects.



This is the sketch effect in use. It has also had a crop setting of 600x540. That of most digipaks.



This photo became the inside cover. This is ther original.



This is the current cropped and edited version of the inside cover.

This photo became a centrepiece of the album artwork. This was the original.

After many filter effects were applied, such as decolouring, adjusting brightness and contrast and adding strength to black; sketch was applied and transformed this to the following photo.

From here I cropped out the pawn and square and moved it to the right to allow space for track listing.

This photo became the finished back cover. (Minus the tracklisting)

This photo was the same as the previous, with the same effects, but with addition black and enhanced black shadows. I then zoomed in and cropped it at an angle to create this image. The CD will sit on top of this shot as there is less to focus on in comparison the  front, back and inside left covers.
