To create the CD Digipak, I used Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Illustrator CS4, which is a mage manipulative piece of software that allowed me to form a professional CD album product. To the left is the original image that I shot and to the right is my manipulated. I have used different layers with the text and image. For the first layer I created a background with light leek circles, this made a link to the music video where we played with the focus of the lights and gave this effect. The second layer was cropping the lead singer's face and using a gradient filter to create a 'pop-art' effect. The third layer I wrote the band's name. After completing this design, I realised that it was a bad representation of the band because it was only showing one band member.
I then re-shot the entire band to have all of them in the album cover. I changed the background in a similar way to the previous one having a light leek effect. I then placed the band over it and changed the level of exposure. I then placed the band's album name slightly behind the band.
Above are my completed posters used for the band. The left one is the poster created for a male audience and the one on the right is for a female one. I predominately used Illustrator for this because it specialises with drawing, which is what I did.
