On my final edit of my front cover, I applied a simply block white strip across the image of my artist. I then made the title of the album transparent so that the image of the artist could still be seen through this white strip. I did this by decreasing the opacity of the text only, using the layer toolbar in the bottom right-hand corner. For this, I decreased the opacity from 100% to 0%.
In order to create the effects within my digipak I used the 'spray' brush in order to create a graffiti-type effect, as I felt that this fitted in with my genre the most. I also felt that this looked more effective than simple filling the entire canvas with the paint bucket tool.
On top of the spray of colour, I used the 'Rainbow tool' which I selected from the top left-hand corner, from which it is called 'rainbow circle'. This tool allowed me to create various different effects and shapes by simply choosing an effect and drawing a line in the position I desired the effect to be in. I had to experiment with different colours and ways of sharpening my technique on this tool, however once I learnt how to use it effectively, I felt that it worked well with my digipak.
I also experimented with different patterns and styles for my CD discs. In the above image, using Photoshop, I selected 'filter-render-clouds' to create such an effect. However, I decided not to use these particular discs for my final digipak.
