DW: Digipak Development 3

After completing the front cover of the digipak, i used the same visual style and font to create the tracklisting/back cover. I started by using an original image of a DJ at the Hospital Records "Hospitality" event in London in 2011. I used the curves and levels tool to adjust the colour and texture of the image to make it fit with the same style of the front cover. I also resized it so that it fitted the square shape of the pack and added a barcode to conform to print conventions.  


After this i used the Monark Black text which I used on the front cover (also the text used heavily by Hospital Records). Because I used the purple/pink cover to give the background colour in front cover I wanted to replicate this in the tracklist, I picked the colour and used the colour overlay tool to colour all the track text. 

 I think this colour fits the theme of the digipak as well as making the text stand out. All i need to do now to complete this part of the cover is to add information or "fine print" along the bottom of the cover, left of the barcode e.g. Copyright information and the hospital records web address so that the digipak conforms to the typical conventions of an official digipak.
