Today I started to work on the back of the digipak. I used the picture that I took myself of the tunnels for it.
I started by desaturating the image so that it had hardly any colour on it, so I was almost starting from scratch with the colouring to make it match the music video the best as possible.
I then changed the brightness and contrast of the image so that I could make it less bright and with more shadows in the dark parts of the picture, to give it the same mood as the music video. I gave it a high contrast, highlighting the shadows in the picture, which is the look I was going for.
After doing this I experimented with the hue and saturation. I didn't really need to desaturate it any more as I already had done it, so I only slightly did more. I put the hue up a little bit to make the picture slightly more greeny, as it already had the brown tinge.
I then edited the colour balance of the image, so that it would exactly match the colouring in our music video. The bricks in the picture originally had a reddy tinge so I needed to get rid of this as best as I possibly could. I added a little bit of green to the image and also yellow to achieve the greeny/browny colour which I did.
I then felt the image was ready to have the text put on to it, which is the name of each of the songs going on the album. I created a new layer for each bit of text so I could move the all around separately, and I named them with each of the song titles making it easier for me to know where to place them.
I started by using the 'Skew' tool to tilt and move each of the titles, and I scattered them over the area of the bricks, however all of them didn't fit, and I didn't really want to make them any smaller as they would be quite hard to read.
Instead I decided to place them in lines on the bricks, which I think looked better. I also put the words in order of the shortest at the bottom to the longest at the top so that they all fit
in nicely.
