CK: Digipak Production Task

  • To begin with I removed a lot of the saturation from both images to give the album a more 'old school' feel.
  • I also increased the concentration of the red and yellow hues to give the image a brown-ish feel, for the same reason as above.
  • I used a brush to give the background some patterning and make it stand out more than a plain colour would. I did this by painting over a plain brown background and decreasing the opacity so that the brown colour still comes through.
  • I also played around with the gamma on the picture at the top right of the cover, this made the shadows seem bigger and darker, emphasising the idea of a troubled background, which is a common meta-narrative amongst rappers.
  • If I were to do this again I would improve the use of text in this cover, as it does not stand out enough, looks out of place and it's also quite dissimilar from other mainstream album covers.
