Further Construction of the Digipack

The images below will show the final steps of our Digipack construction. As we have previously mentioned, we will be using the Digipack template that I had found and the program we will be constructing it in will be Fireworks. 


This first screenshot shows us officially putting our Digipack together. As you can see, from my market research and my online poll, Design 3 proved to be the most popular so this is the one we will be continuing with and using. This was also the design that I also preferred out of the 3. We started by adding in the front cover as this is the slide we had worked on first.


The second screenshot shows us adding in the background to the other panels. As I have previously mentioned this is an image of some wallpaper that we had taken on our trip to the art gallery and just changed the colouring and contrasting of the picture to come up with a colour scheme that matched our old fashioned theme.


This screenshot above shows how I edited the frames in fireworks. Paige edited a few of them and then I did a couple myself. We just used the wand tool to delete the backgrounds and then the eraser tool to get rid of any extra parts. We will add these frames to our digipack and then add the pictures inside of them. 


This screenshot shows us adding in the frames to our Digipack. However, upon adding in the frames we realised that we had adding them onto the wrong slide. So we will just drag them onto the slides that they need to be on. 


As you can see, changed the frames onto the correct slide and then added two more onto the previous space. Above you can see that we have added in the CD, the track listing and the slide including our lyric books. Instead of creating an actual lyric book, as you actually wouldn't be able to see all of it anyway, I decided to just add some lines showing you where it would be included.


 The next screen shot shows us including a message from the band. However rather than just include the message, to match the overall theme I suggested adding a frame around the text. This added to the theme and matched the old fashioned/antique effect we were going for. 


The above screen shot is our completed Digipack. The finishing touches that we added were the titles on a few of the sides. We had already decided on the text we we're going to use for the front cover and decided to include this text on a few other sides for example, 'A Little Note...' is added onto the message from the band and 'Lyrics...' is added onto the side including the lyric book.
