Front and Back Digipak Cover


This is the front cover for our Digipak. We used an image of the old building where we filmed our second scene to make it fit in with the theme of our music video. I edited the colour of the image to sepia to make it look warmer and also brightened the hue to a yellowish tone. I also edited circling birds to the top of the image to represent death and the harshness of the west, this representation is also present in our video. Because of copyright laws, we were unable to use the font that Kasabian use on their albums but we were able to find one that was very similiar, I used a more decayed looking font for 'Fire'. The programme I used to edit this cover was Photoshop, which was very useful as you can edit and add on layers to an image.


This is the back cover of our digipak. The background image the treasure map used in our video. We made sure that the compass drawing on the map was clearly visible so that no text would be distorted by it. We used a black font so it was visible and stood out, as this is usually the content that the consumer wants to see first. We have used the same colour scheme on both the front and back covers so that everything flows and they both represent the same themes. The barcode is on the bottom left corner which is the typical place for the barcode, there is also information on the record label and the copyright laws at the bottom. The font is only small as although it is important legal information, it is not usually what the consumer is interested in. There is also a logo of the record company the band are signed to in the bottom right corner.
