From gathering feedback on the design of my digipak, I learnt that many people felt that the image used on the digipak front cover should be in colour as it appears in colour on the magazine advert. I re added the image of the hands forming a heart and altered the setting slightly so that the image wasn't too dark.
I also darkened the font used for the artist name and made the album title bigger so that they stood out against the background image. I also positioned the album title slightly lower down so that it wasn't overlapping the thumbs on the background image. By positioning it over the white dress on the background image, this helped it to stand out.
For the back cover of the digipak, I only made slight changes. Some people suggested that the image would look better if the both the record label logos used on my magazine advert were included. I added the 'Island Jam Records' logo and made both slightly smaller so they fit neatly next to the barcode. I also darked the right side of the image slightly so that I could add the track listing in a more interesting way. I made the new darkened area of the image blend in with the original image by using the eraser tool on a soft setting.
I also changed the font used for the track listing as I felt the first font I used was plain and boring. However I kept the same white colour for the font as the text stands out clearly from the background image in this colour.
(Booklet Cover)
No changes were made to the booklet cover as I am happy with the design I originally came up with.
(Internal booklet pages)
Even though I recieved some comments in the feedback for my digipak design, saying that the internal booklet pages were a little simple. Therefore I looked at other booklets inside digipaks and decided that the design of the booklet pages is suitable as most lyric pages in booklets are quite simple. Therefore I made no changes to the booklet pages.
CD Housing - (Inside Right Panel)
Even though I wasn't given any negative feedback for the CD Housing panel, I decided to change the rose image in the background, cropping the image used on the internal booklet pages. I altered this to make it more red so it stands out. The black area represents the CD and how it would sit over the top of this image.
