Digipak; Making inside cover
The inside cover was the last element of my digipak that I created, therefore this meant that I had to ensure it was uniform, and fitted well with the rest of the digipak I had already made. To do this I made sure to stick to the same theme, with the outline effect (as shown from my initial drawing) but also keeping the font the same from that of the back cover.
To begin with, I inserted the same white crumpled paper that had been used on both the front and back cover into photoshop. This acted as the background- mirroring that, again, of the front and back cover.

Then following this I began to draw the outline of the flowers that I would be placing in the top left corner and bottom right hand corner. To do this I simply used a black fine-liner pen and drew out the design I had planned out in my head, leaving me with the two drawn out images below.


Now that i had these images available I inserted them both into photoshop, and using the magic tool brush, just selected and deleted all of the white background, leaving only the black lines.

After positioning the two images accordingly I ended up with the image shown below.

Now because the inside covers of many of the digipak's were inconsistent and did not have any specific requirements, I decided to fill the white space in the middle of the inside cover with a quote. But because I had made up all of the songs shown on the back cover, I had to come up with a quote that linked to one of the song titles, that would look convincing as though it were a song lyric. So i began looking up quotes involving each of the song titles and came across a quote that said 'Where there is darkness. Let there be light', this turned out to be a link to a quote from the bible as well, therefore spurring me to use it to fill the gap on the inside cover of the digipak.
To add this text I used the 'american typewriter' font in photoshop, and had this the same colour as the colour swatch on my vinyl CD, positioning it accordingly.


This was then the finished version of the inside cover for my digipak.
