Looking at digipaks
In the lesson we looked at digipaks of artists we are familiar with in order to give us a brief idea of how a digipak is layed out and the codes and conventions,some of the digipaks contained 2 panels and others contained up to 6 panels but we were told to focus on 4 panels just for now as we are still learning about creating a digipak and more than 6 panels would be hard work.
Leaning to use Photoshop
Our college technician joined our lesson to teach us how to use Photoshop to create our digipaks,he started off teaching us the basics like how to import an image on to Photoshop and where to find some templates the media department have for us.Next we learnt how to use a tool to cut out certain parts of an image that can be used on our template,for example if there was an image of a person standing outside Tower Bridge the person can be cut out and placed non a different background.We were taught how to add texts on to our digipak and a clever way to see what fonts look like.
Recreating a digipak and improving it
For our last task we were shown a horrible digipak which didn't contain any conventions of digipaks and didn't look professional at all,We were told to recreate the digipak and make it look like an actual digipak,
