Digipak Back Cover

Today in lesson I made the back cover for my digipak. First I started with a pre-selected print screen from our music video, where the main character is sitting by the front door waiting for his date to arrive. It is a medium close-up of the back of the main character and I chose this shot because of the eery effect of the blue filter that we placed over the red head light. I copied the image and pasted it onto Corel Photo Paint. I then set the image to be 125x125 - which is the standard size for a digipak. I fiddled about with the brightness, intensity and contrast of the image until I was happy that the picture didn't look grainy, I increased the contrast because I like the way that this caused more contrast between the light and the darkness surrounding the character. I saved a picture of a barcode from the internet and then pasted that onto my picture and placed it in the bottom right hand corner. I then researched what songs Dog is Dead had on the same single as Two Devils and typed those songs onto my picture.

I hope that by using this image for my digipak it will lead the audience to recognise the band because this shot is in the music video. It will be recognisable and it will be intriguing for anybody who hasn't seen the music video but has heard the song. It also leads to a bit of mystery as it is the back of our character's head and will therefore engage the audience to find out more about the artist and song.
