To create my CD Digipack I am going to use a variety of programs and resources, including the Internet, album cover copies and photos and Text creator programs such as 'Cooltext.com'; however the main program I will be using is Adobe Photoshop. PS is a program which I am incredibly familiar with due to time spent getting used to the program and also previous tasks I have completed using the program.
"Image editing software developed and manufactured by Adobe Systems Inc. Photoshop is considered one of the leaders in photo editing software. The software allows users to manipulate, crop, re size, and correct colour on digital photos. The software is particularly popular amongst professional photographers." - http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/Photoshop.html
Photoshop will allow me to do certain things with the images I wish to use that other programs would struggle to do; or be able to do at all. Certain things such as adding a grain to a photograph, due to the nature of the CD Digipack that I am going to be creating a grain to pictures will be vital on both the Digipack and the advertising poster.
The Image/s
The images I am going to be using I will take myself, scenery will play a very vital part in the nature of creating my Digipack as I believe a good image creates a very promiscuous feel to any CD cover, intriguing potential buyers. Other images may be created using such programs as PS and others may be edits from the Internet, although the pictures binding the cover as a whole will be a mixture of shots taken by myself.
Due to the band we are using for our music video, the picture needs to tell a story. 'A Day to Remember' are a band that are worldwide renowned for having meaning behind their lyrics and not just creating music that sounds good but music that can help people through both difficult periods in their lives and to enjoy the good times. The band is also under the 'Rock' genre, therefore the album cover needs to be fitting the to style of music played by the band. The pictures portray the style of music on any album cover so this is a crucial.
