This is my digipak I kept to the house style of using the pop art images of the eyes and the lips as i thought it brought all of my products together.I also wanted to keep the black and white colour scheme but again just adding splashes of colour to maintain that rebellious streak.The lettering i used swirly elegant lettering with a line going through it as if it is mocking the upper class ,as these fonts are often used in classical magazines and digipaks.I wanted to further break the conventions of a digipak by distorting the image on the right hand side ,challenging the conventions as the photos are normally perfectly placed. hand side giving it a quirky feel.This also supports the theme of my album as it is demonstrating the effects of substance abuse by making the face thinner and the head larger as if it were going to explode.The image on the top left side I decided to take at a birds eye view to show the desperation that his journey has led him to and that he is on his knees arms spread out looking up as if to say just take me.I found the pop art pieces very time consuming and fiddly trying to cut them out in photoshop.Also editing the images was tricky as i didn't want them to steel the focus too much so it was hard finding the right balance.I really enjoyed creating this product and felt that after getting over a few hurdles ,such as getting the right photograph and the right font that it went well overall.
