digipak analysis

When we had finished creating our digipak, we uploaded it to our blog. We then decided that we would analyze 2 parts of the digipak each.
The front of the digipak:
We used the black background to be consistent with the rest of our digipak and make it look professional.
the reason we chose to use the three colors (red, green, blue) to symbolize the theme of changing that is present throughout the song (also relevant is the different levels of thickness). We used the same technique with the three men in different shades of grey. Finally we added the name of the title and artist name in white to create a stark contrast between the background and the text in order for it to stand out and be eye catching.

The reverse front of the digipak:
To create this image we first downloaded an actual picture of the band from the internet. We then split it into 3 layers, the background, the skin and the clothing. The background was changed to pure white, to contrast directly against the silhouettes of the band. The skin was changed to grey, symbolizing lifelessness and negativity. Finally the clothing was saturated to make it more colorful, emphasizing the desaturated skin of the band members.
