Digipak

When creating, researching and planning my digipak I used many media technologies to aid my work. Before I constructed my digipak I carried out lots of research and planning to consider what typeface, style and colour pallet I wanted to use for the digipak. I stored

all of this research and planning on blog through the website Blogger. This allowed all of my work to be stored in one place for me and my teacher to both access. Although some of my blog posts had been typed straight onto the blog, most of the research and planning posts were embedded documents as Blogger has a basic format when writing a new post meaning it was difficult to create a style for the blog. Due to this I recorded most of my research and planning on documents such Microsoft word, PowerPoint and Publisher. I shared these documents on Microsoft OneDrive so I could access them at both home and school, this soft wear made research and planning easier for me as I was able to access my work anywhere including my computer, ipad and iphone. This research and planning then had to be uploaded to the blog through different formats such as Scribd and SlideShare that embedded the work onto the blog. This added a variety of formats to my blog that presented them in the best way. These sites where accessed through google which was the main search engine I used for my research and planning. I created the draft digipak and final digipak on Photoshop as this allowed me to edit the construct the digipak in the best way. The software was easy to use as I had used it before and was a professional standard. For the front cover of the album on my draft digipak I used a found place holder image of the internet as I didn’t get have a photo however for my final digipak I used an image I had taken on my iPhone 6s with a 4k camera as this was all that was available to me at the time and it had a good camera quality. I send this image from my iphone to my macbook using gmail as it was easy to access and sent. I created different edits on top of the photo on Photoshop and an app called piceffect that was downloaded to my iPhone. I downloaded a basic template for a digipak from a google drive onto Photoshop which I then followed when creating my digipak which made things easier as I was following the conventions of a real digipak.
