Digi Pack Parts

Inlay Photo Edits

Magazine Advert Editing

<-- 1. I firstly put the selected image, that we used on the back of our Digi Pack.



2. I then added a blue filter and a cream filter onto it to make it have a vintage effect. -->

<-- 3. After placing the filter over the top, I increased the contrast and brightness of the image and created two orange/red gradients. One coming from the corner and the other a line down the center.

4. I then created a soft tones border and placed the Digi Pack Front Cover in it.-->

<-- 5. I then added the text, 'Mike Dignam' is in the same font as the song list on the back of the Album; 'Debut Album' and 'Out Now' is also but it has been put in a linear light. 'i'll lie here' is in the same font as the same title that is on the album cover.

6. An iTunes logo has been added but faded slightly and a new border created.-->

 <-- 7. Inside the border, star ratings have been added in the linear light again.





8. To finish the Music Magazine ratings have been added to the stars, creating an attraction. Mike Dignam's website and Twitter has also be written underneath.

Overlay Editing - Inlay Booklet Front Cover

To improve our images to make them seem more professional and artistic our group decided to experiment with overlaying the image for the front cover of the inlay booklet. This added depth to the images and I have found the technique added a unique and different feel to it.

Here I will show the process of how we did it-

 We put our image we wanted to use as the base image onto Photoshop.

 We then created a copy of this layer, which also enhanced the colour slightly.

 We then selected the image we wanted to overlay onto the image and placed it on top of the original image and we selected the soft overlay option.

 We put a blue filter onto it.

Then an additional creamy filter.

Then adjusted the brightness and contrast.
















I am very impressed with how the overlay effect on the inlay booklet front cover worked out.

Editing Photos

The photos that were taken that I edited in the previous posts(http://aimeekmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/digi-pack-photo-edits.html)(http://aimeekmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/digi-pack-photo-edits-2.html) were the most successful and professional of the ones we had taken that day and all of the images stood out to me. The way that all of the images capture Mike Dignam, the artist, playing this guitar or with his guitar gives an impression that it wasn't a planned shot or composition I was really pleased that we were able to capture it, it also creates a happy feeling that he is doing what he loves. The way the background represents nature really incorporates the Indie Genre into the images, but with the filters and editing it has given the overall image the effect that it is vintage, and old, but a happy memory so the image has been kept; this makes the image soft and draws all the attention to the artists figure. Over all I really like the way these images have turned out! I started to edit it on the editing software Adobe Photoshop, something I become to be familiar with over the years. I like the composition of the shots with the use of the guitar within the shot for our digipack is important as it emphasises the relation to the artist.
