As I have experience with working on photoshop, I decided to use this in order to edit both my Digipak and Poster. This included the editing of the original images and then adding text, colour and overall effects to the image as a whole.

Here are the front cover and back cover of my Digipak. In order to edit these images, I started off with the original pictures I took for them. I decided to enhance the features on Niamh’s face, taking away any blemishes and adding some more colour to her face, alongside darkening her eyebrows and eyes, in order for them to stand out, which was my aim in the making of my digipak. After doing this I added colour to the background of the page, excluding niamhs face and body.

Here you can see the original image for the front cover next to the final product. Originally the background was a white curtain, however, through my use of the paint tool, I covered it in a light opacity purple slash pink colour, as this was apart of my colour scheme which I stuck to. 

I added text to the front cover and the rest of my digipak, in the shade dark red. This was to make sure it stood out.

Here are my two images I decided to choose for the inside left and right of my digipak. In photoshop I did the same as my front and back cover, editing her face slightly, being a typical convention of albums. On the image on the left I decided to add a personal touch from the artist, by creating a handwritten signature followed by a heart. I felt that this was effective as it makes the audience feel special and close to the artist.

For the disk, the same was done to it, including the adding of large, bold text, the background colour, copyright information was written, and my record label logo was added also on photoshop. For the copyright information I used a tool on Photoshop which allowed me to write in a circle.  This helped me as it meant my disk looked much more effective and followed the conventions of a disk from most albums made.

Here is now my poster which I also created with the help of photoshop. The same was done such as the sizing which is a typical A4 page, the adding of the main image, text, etc. I took images from the internet which displayed logos such as twitter and Instagram and added them on to my page. Overall, after flattening each image I added an effect to each page. This included my use of the brightness and contrasting tool, highlighting and adding tones to my work, and the levels tool which enhanced the overall image.

Overall, I am happy with my use of photoshop and feel as though with my use of it, it has made the overall products much more effective and visibly pleasing and stylish for the audience.
