  1. I first started off with the plain picture of Talia. Just like when I was trying out the fonts, I tried to see if they would look nice on the actual digipak. Again I tried to get the same colours of her top.
  2. I was just looking at different affects that I could use for the picture.
  3. I added the “glow affect”. I added this specific affect because I thought that it could bring out the picture more and make it look more original. So I went to “distort” and picked the glow tool, then changed the greyness, amount of glow and the amount of the clearness.
  4. I then went on to do the back cover. I already knew exactly how I wanted it to look so I got straight to work. I used the same glow on the back cover as I did on the front. I made the track listing Grey because I think it looks co-ordinated with the tiles on the floor. I just generally like how the whole picture looks.
  5. I changed the colour of the album name “crazy stupid love” because all the different colours that I wanted to use just weren't very conventional, so I thought to make it the same colour as her lipstick. Also the track listing font and title are the same.
  6. Shortly after, my teacher noticed that the font wasn’t very clear to read and advised me to change it to a simple font. After thinking about it, I realised that what my teacher said made a lot of sense so I then changed the font and the colour of the album name for the third time.
  7. I added the record label, bar code and all of the production information. I chose to use Capital Records because it’s the same record label that Lily Allen is signed to and since both Talia and Lily are within the same genre I thought using that record label would be wise.
  8. . I decided to use the back cover as part of the spine, I may change this as I haven't made up my mind completely yet if I want to leave it like this.
