Here is my final design:
I started off by using my draft of the front cover and slowly adding more texture and images to the template, expanding the design.
Next, I added the track names to the back cover and used different sizes and fonts of handwritten type to create contrast. I then created bright shapes to sit behind three of the track names to make them stand out from the rest of the text.
I then started on one of the inside pages, using the lyric poster as a background and overlaying lyric illustrations on top. After that, I added an image of the model and used the filter 'Halftone Pattern'.
I created a circle using the 'Elipse Tool' to show where the CD would fit into the digi pack. I made this shape purple to fit in with the bold colour theme that's so far been used on the rest of the digi pack.
To make this page more interesting, I decided to add some texture by using an image that I had created by splatting ink onto paper.
After that, I altered the levels of the ink splatter image to make it more colourful then used the Rectangle Tool to create a pastel blue background.
To add more detail to that page, I imported some of my favourite lyric illustrations that I had created previously and placed them behind the purple circle. I changed the blending mode of the circle and the illustrations so that the other layers could be visible and so that the colours became more vibrant and not so block coloured.
Next I imported another image of the model and got rid of the background using the Magic Wand Tool. I then duplicated the layer, changed it's colour and made it a little bit bigger to act as a shadow to the original image. I did the same with two other similar images to sit on the same page and the page next to it.
I started to add texture to the two pages that join together to make one. I added ink splatters, brush marks and paint splodges and changed the colours of each layer to match the colour scheme. I also changed the cover by taking away the artist's drawings from the draft and adding my own.
I decided to change the back cover by adding an image (duplicated from the front cover) and enlarging it. I then took away some of the lesser known track names so that the page wasn't so busy and added the music artist's name 'Grimes' to the front and back.
