The next step was to design the inlay of the digipak. We manged to significantly follow our planning throughout the design of the inlay especially. I started off by designing the first page of the inlay, opening a new file on Photoshop (Ctrl + O) and inputting the same dimensions (5.45 inches width and 4.95 inches height) as the back and front cover for standardisation and coloured the file black, as that was to be the background colour of the first inlay page. We chose this colour since the key element to go on the page, a pixelated heart, we felt, would stand out best against black, part of the colour scheme. Next, I used the text tool to write our names (the creators of the album and SAD productions) on top of the file. I used the font Bebas Neue, taken from the website DaFonts. The san serif font was used to give it a not so formal look a serif font would allow. The colour white was used so the text would be prominent against the black of the background. Ke...

After putting down a rough placement of all the footage we were going to use in the Music video (on the timeline). The next step included the synchronization of the video with the audio. Our music video had the use of both diegetic (Sound Effects) and Non diegetic (Music) sounds. Mahnoor used the method of syncing sound in a orderly fashion as she went further down the audio. Certain Audio cues were linked up on time with their visual cues. The first thing she started was the construction of the opening diegetic scene which included several telephones. As the telephone visuals progressed the multiple ringings of telephones increased in intensity. Mahnoor achieved this by over lapping several ringing sounds in a certain order (so they still have some form of clarity when ringing and its not a loud jumbled mess of sound). The audio she took was royalty free of the internet ( Website Linked Here ). She had to cut the sounds out of their original loops and make up her own varied loo...

Alongside the front cover, we also worked on the back cover of our digipak. I started of by opening a new file on Photoshop (Ctrl + O) and inputting the same dimensions (5.45 inches and 4.95 inches, width and height respectively) we used for the front cover for standardisation. Next I opened the image we selected (Ctrl + O) to use for the back cover, a close up of the painting, in particular a close up of the upper right corner with the lighthouse. We decided to use this specific part of the painting since the lighthouse is symbolic for the artist finding their way. Having this on the back cover where the track list is supposed to be insinuates that through their music they ended up doing just that. I dragged the image onto the file. I, then pressed Ctrl + T to transform the image since the image itself was much larger than the file due to it's high resolution. I pressed shift to perverse the picture's proportions and adjusted the image, in a way that the ligh...
