Digipak - initial stages

What I have done is created the general layout of my digipak however I have not taken my photographs yet that will feature in it's design so I have used pre existing images that have been used for modern CD booklets. At the moment I really like the design of my digipak as it incorporates the rough, urban appeal that I wanted to re-create (with the brick wall image that has been used as the background for two pages). The colour scheme is in keeping with the youthful and energetic nature of the song with the contrast between dark black and grey tones against vivid hints of purple. Photoshop has had a huge impact upon the design as nearly every image that I have used has had an effect put on it. The most common effect I used was called 'Neon Glow' which allowed me to apply the purple colour to some of my landscape and profile images. The only aspect of its design that I don't quite like yet is the first double spread which contains only photographs, the layout of these I feel looks too boring and rigid so therefore this is going to be the focus of my next design stage.
