Photoshop

I have now chosen my four pictures to use for my digipak. I have decided to use the four panel digipak as I feel it is more suitable for my chosen genre of dance as I feel the artist wouldn't have enough music for a size or eight panel. Here are my chosen pictures:

After I chose these images I then went on to use the photoshop tool so I was able to change the brightness and saturation of some images to make it appear brighter and overall look more aesthetically pleasing. Here are the images followed up by some screenshots of when I used the photoshop tool:

I have chosen this picture as it shows the protagonist in the music video therefore links perfectly between the two. It is a very uplifting image as she is laughing so will bring joy to the buyer therefore I feel it appropriate for the front case. I edited it using photoshop (which can be seen in a follow up image) so I could enhance the brightness of the image. It adds emphasis on Hannah's hair which becomes fire like giving the impression it is a fierce album. Moreover drawing attention solely to her as she is more dominant in the image. I feel the image looks much more appealing like this and more eye catchy on the shelf therefore attracting more buyers. Furthermore as her arms are out wide and hair blowing in the wind it shows she is a free spirit and signifies her breaking free there becoming a connotation to the hit single 'Cant Hide' as she is now free and not needing to hide from any worries.

Here I have also edited the image to enhance the brightness of the grass so it is a more powerful and effective image.  I have chosen to use an establishing shot too of a location which we filmed at so there is not too much going on in my album an it would also be fitting for the track list. I chose to enhance the brightness because in the original picture it seems a bit dull due to the weather on the day it was taken so here it look a lot brighter so is more uplifting and nicer to look at - especially with English weather where it is more overcast and rainy than other areas. It also links with the front cover as it is the area in which she is standing so we get a feel of where she is letting go.

Here is the image of me editing the image in Photo Shop. As you can see I am changing the brightness of the image to enhance the colour of her hair and make her skin look glowing as I feel it looks more aesthetically pleasing. I also edited the image of the grass as stated above although the other two images I have decided not to change just more defined as they are black and white which I want to keep so by changing the brightness or adding a filtration the image will not look right so I will leave it the natural colour.

Here is another screenshot of me editing this image in photoshop to enhance the colours of the green for the grass to make it more defined and also look more aesthetically pleasing. 

Here is the CD where I have used photoshop to get the circular shape of a CD in order to look profesional.

Now what i need to do is put these images together in the four panel and create a spine for my CD. I have screenshotted a rough guess of what my digipak will look like when all the images are put together so here it is:

I quite like the contrast of the bright colours and the black and white. This is just a rough image of what my digipak will look like without the writing on or the spine. I will work on creating them now using other sorces like word and photoshop again.
