Digipak construction- back cover



For my back cover I wanted to continue the use of a white background that I had used for the front cover. However I did not want to simply have a plain and blank looking digipak. Therefore I decided to take my wave theme and apply it to the back. I chose a section of the wave from my photographs and cut it out using the eclipse tool on adobe photoshop elements 11. I then decided that I did not want a very bold image on the back cover as this could distract away from the front cover. I changed the transparency/opacity settings to fade the image and create a subtler look. 



I then resized the image to fit my back cover. I only wanted it to take up the very base of the cover, so it would not clash or mix with the track list I had yet to add to the cover.

I then added in my track list in a very simplistic grey that would compliment the faded image. I also added in the record logo just beneath the track list to show the importance of the record company. I then added a small white image of the twitter, facebook and soundcloud logo to encourage the audience to research the artist using these media outlets and increase publicity. I downloaded a barcode from google images and faded it to go with the image. Finally I added in a very small font "moon and rust records 2014" as well as the artist website to again increase publicity.
