I started off by taking a screenshot of an image from the music video to use as a still image on the back cover of the digipak. This image acted as the main feature on the back cover.
The next step was importing this image into Photoshop and putting it onto a black background using the fill bucket tool, which is shown above. Then I added the text, using the T tool on photoshop and carefully positioned it so that it was not hidden or shadowed by the smoke whatsoever. With the colouring of the text I downloaded the image shown below from the internet and used the colour sampler tool to sample the exact same colour that was used in Flumes original album cover and throughout many of his promotional pieces and use this in our digipak. I chose to do this as it is easy to replicate and is something simple that can be recognisable throughout various pieces of media, thus creating consistency in our promotion of the artist. Shown on the right is the colour sampler tool.
Our back cover for our CD album features the use of a barcode, which was found on the internet and imported into Photoshop and placed on the cover. The use of a barcode helps make the product seem more professional, as it is a convention use in all digipaks.
Shown on the left hand side is a screen grab of how the back cover looked at one point during the construction and editing stage. Shown in the drop down menu are various effects that I trialled on different layers of the product, eventually deciding to use the "hue" effect - adding it to the cloud of smoke on the left part of the cover. I believed that this looked interesting whilst sticking with the pink and white colour scheme and keeping the back cover quite individual and conceptual - one key theme that we tried to ensure we proficiently portrayed through the use of our promotional activities, in order to show consistency in the music video, digipaks and magazine advert.
