Making the CD holder

research which influenced the CD holder 

Above are the two main CD cases that influenced us whilst making the CD holder, we used the same image which we did when making the CD  because it strengthens the design element by making the image stand out even more and look more important because the image will still be present even when the CD isn’t, examples of this can be seen in the above two images. We felt it would be best to make our CD holder in this way because it was important to get across the tone of the digipak was created by the ominous message of the music video making appea twice, gets this message across.

The template

This template began as a PDF file of a digipak which was given to us by my media teacher to help us with the design of our digipak. For our CD holder it was recreated using Photoshop so that it could go over our CD  holder image in order to give the digipak a more realistic looking design. 

To re-create the PDF file we used paint. The photo was added then we drew out the outline to create our own version so that we could then remove the white background in paint. This meant that it became a framework background which still meant that we could see the design behind the outline of the CD holder. In a physical CD the outline would be the area where the CD would actually be placed.
