PLANNING: DIGIPACK DESIGN

During today's lesson we began designing our Digipack for our Californication music video. We began focusing on the front cover of the album - therefore, we went through all of our filming to date, as well as stills to find original images suitable for the front cover of our digipack. On a piece of filming where the film scrolls across a wall with the words 'CALIFORNIA' gratified on it, we decided that this would be appropriate for our front cover as we would have the CALIFORNIA in graffiti in the centre of the digipack and above and below the CALIFORNIA graffiti we would use other images and designs suitable for the front of the digipack. 

However, as the wall only has 'CALIFORNIA' written on it, it was my task to use photoshop to add the rest of 'Californication' onto the original word. I did this by copy and pasting the letters from the original photo, which were needed, and carefully placed them in the right place as well as making sure they were the right size.

Max began designing something else to add to our digipack. He took the shape of California on the map, coloured it in red, using the program Paint and added a green stem to it, to make it look like a chilli pepper, after the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. This was a very unique idea, that provides something different to our digipack. We haven't yet decided where this is going to go yet on our digipack.
