Hotel Cabana

I really like this digipack because of the colours used. The dark building stands out against the warm sunrise/sunset colours in the background. I also like the fact that the name of the album isn't part of this and is in its own section at the top with a dark background.

Final Digipack

Here is my final digipack!

Right Cover

I now have to add my CD to the digipack and i have chosen to make my CD the same as my album from cover as many other artists in the media do this too. I used powerpoint to edit this.

Left Cover

I wanted to add a quote in my digipack as previously mentioned on my blog post from 24/12/17. I decided to use the quote "It's all about pushing yourself beyond what you think are your limitations" but changed it slightly. I wrote it by hand using the trackpad in the same way I did my record label logo, however, when cropping the picture there was no possible way to remove the background (the white part) so instead I typed it up using the "Britannic Bold" font.

Front Cover

I decided to use the image of the map and spade on the front of my digipack because they're the two most important props in our music video. First i had to make the picture square to fit the digipack and then I added the band name and album title. I chose to call the album 'Different Colours' as many albums are named after a song in the track list, such as 'Light me Up' by The Pretty Reckless and ''Hotel Cabana' by Naught boy. I chose this song as it is the one we are making our music video for.

I kept the font consistent to the one I used on my track list. The font is called "Britannic Bold".

Record Label

I wanted to make my own logo for the record label that will be placed at the back, so I used the Trackpad feature on PDF files. It allows you to use your trackpad as a drawing board and is mainly used for signatures. I opened a PDF file I previously had downloaded to my computer and created three possible logos.

I chose to use the second one as i preferred the way it looked so I added it to my powerpoint and removed its background so there wouldn't be a white background when placing it on the back cover of my digipack.

Back cover

 The first picture of the wall I took on my phone when looking at location ideas and this picture stands out to me as our song is called 'Different Colours' and this is a colourful wall, so I decided that I want to use it in my digipack. However the picture wasn't straight so using powerpoint I straightened it out and cropped it to a square size. I want my track list to be in bold, black writing and when i placed it on top the black thing on the wall and the white box were distracting from the text. To get rid of them, i screenshotted part of the wall and placed it on top, then faded out the edges so it looked natural, and you can not see them in my final picture.

Inside covers

I really liked this photo of the bench which comes from our music video and initially wanted it for my front cover, however when I cropped it to the size of a square it cut out most of the picture and didn't look good. So instead I had the idea to cut the picture in half and make it two squares for the inside covers. This way I get the whole picture and now the two pictures side by side will look good in the digipack showing continuity throughout.
