"How to" My main digipak photoshop effects

 
 Creating a Sepia Tone
On front and back covers.


To create a consistent theme from my Magazine advertisement to my Digipak I decided to include a sepia tone in both products. I tested a sepia effect on the whole digipak but decided it didn't stand out enough and made the overall product look quite bland. So, I decided to add the sepia effect to the front and back cover. To do this I selected the layers and went to the toolbox above where the layers are, here is the option to manipulate the hue and saturation. I adjusted the saturation to a quite a weak sepia level, the preset sepia effect was too yellow for my pictures, and decided on a low sepia tone with a black and white edge. I then used the same technique as I had in my advert and used the rubber to return to 'original colour' to show the red lips through the sepia effect. This meant I could include the red lips with the red font with the title and song titles.

 
I decided to manipulate the artists image in the booklet of my digipak. On this example, the first picture, I used opacity and 'multipy' to layer three photos with different movements of the arm and hair over eachother. To do this I placed the three images over eachother the same size. I then moved the images from here using the opacity tool to change the percentage so I could see where the image would be placed on the one underneath. I then chose the multiply effect from the drop down menu next to the opacity tool where I could add a softer effect over the images so it looked like a soft movement. This meant you can see the arms but they dont stand out too strongly. To enhance the movement of the arms I kept the body in the same place which is shown clearly by the black top. Above shows the section with one, two and the final three layers.
