HG: Digipak Process 2
This was my second lesson working on these pieces. After some
advice from the rest of my team, I decided
to change the font colour for this image slightly. I did this by clicking the font
colour tool, followed by clicking on the headphone image. Therefore, I was able
to alter the font colour to match the headphones, making it look more
realistic. As well as this, I decided to use some effects on the font,
including the ‘bevel and emboss’ tool.
This effect evidently made the font look far more 3-dimensional, by adding
highlights and shadows to different parts of the typography. As well as this, I
utilised the satin tool, which applies interior shading that creates a radiant
finish. As well as altering the font in this lesson, I also wanted to apply a
filter, to see how much effect it had on the final image. I clicked on the
dropdown arrow above the layers, and clicked lighting. Subsequently, I had a
brush tool (of which I made significantly bigger) and started to click around
the screen. This meant that I was able
to make parts of the image far lighter, especially the left-hand side of the
image.
I used very similar effects with this image. This included the ‘bevel and emboss’ tool and the satin effect. Though, despite this, I decided to make the font slightly darker with this image to see the contrast between the two, and choose which one I preferred (which I am still yet to decide). In terms of the composition of this image without the font positioning and lighting etc. I would say that this is my preferred digipak frame, however, in terms of the lighting, and the placement of typography, I think the other piece is better. I will therefore be having a discussion with the rest of my team about which frame we should utilise in our piece. I also tried out many other fonts, George recommended that I should try the ‘Farcry’ font, which was effective, though, it was too bold for a fairly bland image.
