Creating my DigiPak

I shot all of the photos used for my DigiPak, however I then edited them using Photoshop. For the majority of the photos I simply adjusted the saturation, hue and contrast as well as cropping and resizing the images to suit the DigiPak. I also added lyrics to the other songs on the album on top of these images, using black bars behind white text to ensure the lyrics were readable. Below is an original shot, followed by the edited version which features in my DigiPak.

However, for some of the images within my DigiPak I overlaid a translucent photo over another for a contrasting effect. Below is an example of two original photos and how I merged them to be used in my DigiPak.

The most elaborately edited image is that used for the front cover of my DigiPak. I totally changed the background of the shot by removing the objects on the window pane using a masking tool, blacking out the windows with a filler, and overlaid a photo I took of a brick wall on top of the painted walls to give the image a more rustic feel. I feel this works well as the photo no longer looks as though it is taken in someone's lounge, but an old building such as a castle.

Here is the wall photo I edited in:









I used multiple layers and the masking tool to create the brick wall effect on what was a plain blue wall.
