The Creation of my
Digipak
I will be explaining how I created my front cover, back cover, CD, Insert and Advert.
1
• Firstly, I
got the
edited image
of the band
and placed it
right to the
top of the
page.
• I then added
a background
underneath it
and rubbed
out roughly
where the
text was
going to be.
Front Cover

• I then
filled in
the blanks
at bottom by
adding a new
layer
underneath
everything.
• This layer
was just
pure black.
Front Cover

• After, I
imported the
chosen font for
the band name.
• I cleaned it up
a little by
rubbing out
rough edges etc.
• A ‘stroke’ was
then put on it
to enhance the
outlining.
• Finally, I made
the inside of
the letter a
little
transparent by
selecting each
part and rubbing
it out using the
rubber tool and
changing the
opacity down to
15% or so.
Front Cover

• The album
title was then
imported.
• The same tasks
were done on
this piece of
text as the
name of the
band had done.
• Lastly, once
in position, I
got a rubber
and went over
it with little
opacity to
sink the text
into the
background.
Front Cover
5
• The final
item to be
added was the
‘V’ that
stood for
‘Voodoo’.
• When cut
out, shaped
and coloured;
I went over
the image
with a rubber
(with a small
percentage of
opacity).
Front Cover
Final
• The last thing
to do was to
merge all the
layers
together and
edit the
levels to make
the image as a
whole
brighter.
• I just boosted
the brighter
colours and
brought the
mids back.
Front Cover
1
• The first task
for the back
cover was to
create a
backing.
• I dotted some
white bits in
a black
square, then
put many
effects on it
until it came
to this.
Back Cover
2
• I then got the
same
background, pu
t in front of
the other and
remove the
inside and
faded out the
sides.
• After, I
inserted the
‘V’ from the
front cover
and enlarged
to fit screen.
Back Cover
3
• The next task
to type in the
song titles.
• I used the
‘Century’
font.
• I aligned it
to the centre
then finally
put a low
percentage
opacity rubber
over the top
of it.
Back Cover
Final
• The final task
was to add a
barcode, the
logos of the
record labels
and extra
information.
Back Cover
1
• Firstly, I got
the same
background as
used in the
front and back
cover and
fitted it into
the screen. It
then got a CD
template and
reversed the
two (template
and
background).
• When
reversed, I
simply
highlighted
the edges and
cut them off.
CD
2
• Next, I
inserted the
same ‘V’ shape
used in the
front and back
cover and
slotted it over
the CD.
• I did the same
process of
reversing the
two items and
cutting of the
edges.
• Finally, I
liquefied the
‘V’ shape to
have cuts
inside of it
etc.
CD
3
• The band name
was then
imported.
• I grabbed it
from the front
cover as it
was the same.
• I positioned
it to run
along the side
of the ‘V’
shape.
• But because it
was a smaller
version, I had
to edit the
stroke outline
to make it
thinner.
CD
Final
• Lastly, to
make it look
professional,
I included the
information
around the
side of the
CD.
• Each word was
typed up
individually
and warped to
the curve
perfectly
around the CD.
CD
1
• I simply, to
start the
insert
off, got the
same
background
image as the
other parts of
my Digipak.
Insert
2
• I then
inserted the
‘V’ shape that
the other
parts of the
Digipak
included.
• I changed the
colour to grey
and re-rubbed
out with a low
percentage
opacity.
• I then turned
up the
percentage and
rubbed out so
parts of the
‘V’ ( e.g.
bottom corner)
Insert
Final
• To finish, I
added the
album title
from the front
cover.
• I changed the
stroke outline
to grey and
gave the
insides a red
tint.
• Finally, I put
a low
percentage
opacity rubber
over the top
of it.
Insert
1
• The first task
to create the
Advert for the
Digipak, I
needed a
background.
• I used the same
background as
used in all the
other aspects
of the Digipak.
• I extended it a
little because
the advert is a
little larger
than a
conventional
album.
Advert
2
• Next, I inserted
the front cover
of the album.
• I then faded the
bottom of it into
the empty space
underneath so
they have the
same background.
• I did this by
using a 0%
hardness rubber
and put a black
tint on the
background
because the front
cover was
slightly darker
and looked
obvious.
Advert
Final
• To finish, I typed in
the essential text.
• For the ‘New Album’ –
I created a white box
and typed of the top
of it.
• For the rest of the
text, I enlarged the
key parts such as
‘Voodoo’ and the sons
names.
• I then merged all the
text into one layer
and put a low
percentage opacity
rubber over the top.
• I tried warping the
text and tilting
it, but it didn’t look
right and went for
dead straight.
