Digipak.

 Here are several templates for digipak's I have found online.

I like the idea of using a 6 panel tube pocket, then including a leaflet in the pocket with lyrics and more pictures of the artist like the one pictured below.

Radioactive Soundtrack Editing

 G A R A G E B A N D

I have been using garageband to edit my song. I had come across problems finding enough footage to fill the whole song of 3 minutes 50 seconds and not loose interest nearer to the end of the song. I imported the song into garageband and split the track and took out a verse in the song, then merging the left cuts together to make a whole track. This worked very well. The clips go together nicely basically not even noticing that the song had been edited. The song now stands at 2 minutes 40 seconds.

Practicing Photoshop...

I have been working on my photoshop technique using images to edit and change which will help me when it comes to creating my digipak.

You can manipulate the images to make them change shape using transform although I have learnt this technique I think that it will not suit my digipak because it is very unusual on a digipak to change the shape of your artist face for instance.

I have played with the colourings of the image to have a certain effect. From the previous image it now has vibrant colours that stand out. This technique will come useful when creating my digipak because it it important that the artist will stand out so when in a shop the buyer will be instantly attracted to the CD. 

There are also different filters that are available to use when photoshopping an image. These could come in handy when creating a background for the CD cover.
