Lesson review 10/1/2011

During today's we carried on with the creation of our digipak. In the last lesson we started the front cover and the two inside covers with which allowed for the inclusion of the gorilla and the female character. During the lesson we started the completion of the CD section with the fur background. We used the same technique as the last lesson , using photoshop we were able to create the size of the slide and the using the Internet we obtained the fur background and then inserted it onto the slide. The main slide which we focused on however was the 'dedication to Joe Jackson' which will be on the inside back cover . Below is what we created:


This is how is appeared on screen on the photoshop software. This software , like the last lesson , was extremely helpful as in this case allowed us to extract a photo of Joe Jackson which we then applied as the background . We obtained the information from the Internet as well , the information is a brief biography of him . We decided to include this as it is commonly used in digipak's , which the group had depicted as a common convention. The format is quite straightforward , which is a theme which we have chosen throughout because , as mentioned allows an emphasis on the unconventional storyline of the video. After finishing the slide , we decided we had inserted a bit too much information , so in the next lesson we will make the information more succinct.

As well as the Joe Jackson cover , we also began to input text onto the front cover which is importantly the most important past of the digipak. We took the image which we previously worked on in the last lesson , then using the text box application we placed the song title on the top. This is what it looks like :


The cover matches the usual conventions as it has an image which is relevant to the video , furthermore it has the song title and artist's name . We will finish this in the next lesson , where we will apply colour to the font and finish the other slides.
