Constructing The Digipak

Constructing The Digipak

In order to construct my digipak, I had to establish an idea, or theme, for the digipak.

Firstly, I went through my video, and began building ideas from the music video. The sense I have formed from looking at the video, is happiness. So I decided that my digipak will be constructed with bright colours, joyful pictures, basically nothing that is related to unhappy, dreary, boringness !! 

For example:

I then began thinking about what makes me happy, which made me discover that quite a lot makes me happy !!

For example:

Peach Loops!!
I agree it's sad, but these are my ultimate favourite sweets.

The Sunshine!!

Another of my favourite things is, when the sun is shining! Despite looking as if I'm allergic to the sun, I really love a warm sunny day! It lifts everyone's mood, and generally is just great.

So they are just things two things that I really like, and really a basis for my digipak. I also thought about using images from my music video on the digipak as my audience, would be able to link the two together.

When it came to actually putting together my digipak I used www.picmonkey.com, which allowed me to completely creative with my photos, and the panels of my digipak !!

Above is one of the ways I was making alterations to my images. The effect above is called 'Warhol' (I'm assuming the great Andy Warhol !!) I really like this effect because it just add something special to a picture, which was previously quite boring. Hopefully this will look suitable on my digipak, as I am pleased with the effect. If I don't use this picture I will definitely incorporate 'Warhol' into my digipak ! :) 

Above, is another picture taken from days of filming. This picture prior to the effects was just me next to a wall, but I think the simple effect has made a BIG difference. I used an effect called called 'Yester-colour', which gives the picture a sense of nostalgia, because it has simple colouring to that of photographs from the past, before everything went digital ! I also used my 'signature emoticon', the smiley face! i believe after using the smiley face on my magazine advert, I feel I should incorporate it into my digipak ! I also feel that the effect compliments the outfit that I have on, the khaki and brown are suitable for this effect.
