digipak progress

myself and oli have made progress with the design of our music video digipak.
we have used the image of a fruit bowl which we downloaded onto the mac to use in the software photoshop. We made the background black and cut around the fruit bowl and placed the cropped picture over our black background. We then played around with the colour of the fruit bowl to make it a bit wacky and fun, we changed the colour and contrast to make the fruit bowl gold. The gold effect has created a feel to the digipak because it makes the fruit bowl appear ancient but fresh at the same time. we wanted to make the cover look unique and different as we didnt want the average looking fruits in a bowl,otherwise the digipak and music video would clash.
lastly we designed a similar text to the "Vampire Weekend" style to keep some of its originallity.
Me and Oli definately had some fun creating our first draft of the digipak, however it did come along with some difficulties. We were fustrated with alot of the tools involved with photoshop, but we learnt by asking advice and exploring the software ourselves we would achieve the best for our digipak.
