Finished Digi-Pak

After many hours of discussion as well as playing around with effects we came to the decision that these four images would be our final images for the cover.
The images above are all representive of our artist. The top left image is the front cover; it is a council estate shot in black and white with the black enhanced slightly more than the white to get a better contrast with light and dark. We layered the dog over onto the image as we had to represent the character somewhere onto the cover. Our aim was to do this subtily rather than make it the focus point on the image. The artist's name is at the bottom of the cover in small white writing, again we decided to not go with fancy writing but we preferred a simple font as we felt it makes more of a point.

The two bottom images are the inside covers, they are of equal black and white ratio rather than the top images. The reason for this was when the CD cover is opened up, we wanted it to be bright and stand out. Both images are of natural settings and are interesting places. We were attracted to the image of the bench as it showed a link with our music video which was filmed in a natural park. It was also a well established image and we did not feel the need to place the dog onto the image as it was good enough. The writing was well positioned on the image and placed on the bottom where its black on white and stands out well.
