Completed Digipak!

Using Photoshop

For our ancillary task we are using the software Adobe Photoshop to create our digipak, here is a screen shot of the process of using the software. i have found Photoshop challenging as a software as it is something i had never previously used and it was completely new to Sam and I. Thankfully for us the editing we wanted to do on our original pictures was simple, changing the colour to black and white and adding text was as advanced as we needed for our project.

Digipak photos we are going to use!

Here are the photos we have chosen to put into our digipak..

Plan for our Digipak

Today we jotted down our rough plan for the outlook of our Digipak, we planned exactly what we were going to put into it and after this we will go out and take photos and upload our shoot.

Ancillary test shots

Today we went looked into the promotional material for 'Vices and Virtues' and decided to shoot an image that replicated a picture that was used in the digipak for the album. Here are the results...

Ancillary task - Reviewing Panic! At The Disco's Promotion material

For our ancillary task we have to produce a CD digipak that consists of a front and back page, lyric pages, promotional photos of the band and thank you notes. For this we decided to look at the bands previous digipaks for their own albums and generate ideas and get a feel of their usual conventions.

The Ballad Of Mona Lisa - Single cover.

This is the digipak released for the bands first single in 3 years and was a complete reinvention for the band after taking a break due to loss of members and change of musical style from the previous album and going back to their musical roots of their debut.
Because of this the cover art is simplistic simply having the new logo for the band released in the weeks building up to the singles release. This became the logo for the album 'Vices and Virtues'.
