Digipak designs

Here I have decided to include some images of sample pictures and ways in which I might manipulate these images in order to put them on my digipak and have the design appeal to fans of the genre. As such I started with an image of a 4 panel digipak net so that I could start off with a simple design for the images and their positioning/layout. 

Here is the image I found showing a group of boys similar to those intended for my actual digipak and in a position reflective of the one I want to get the actors in for the photos (webpage or digipak).

For the image below I have used the picmonkey editing software in order to adjust the saturation of the image as well as make changes to the colour balances, and add in borders with fade effects. I Have chosen these effects as I feel that they add to the effect of mystery and the idea of being 'lost' therefore relating to the  band name and adding an extra layer to the digipak. I have also chosen red, white and blue as the border colours in order to enforce the suggestion of patriotism.   

Here I have added a Warhol effect coupled with a focal soften in order to again enforce the patriotism of this band and make it quite easy to match clearly with the other images used therefore being synergistic.  

Here I have shown the two sample images that I have managed to complete within the lesson today, this helps me to visualise how my final product may look and also check that the images do match and relate to each other as a result creating synergy across this platform. I have selected to include an image of the London eye in this practice digipak as the picture I have used has a Ferris wheel or something similar in the background and doing this means that I have made connections between the images in more ways than just the use of colours and effects.
