Using Photoshop, I used a template I found of a digipak online, in order to see what my digipak would look like if it were to be sold. Here is the version I created in order to assess the functionality of my digipak:
I found a template of a digipak online that I thought would be relatively simple to be able to use to manipulate my design over it to create a mock-up version of it. I used the selection tool to individually cut out each panel of the digipak that I needed to include, and then chose to duplicate the layer into the document with the image of the digipak template. I used the transformation tool to re-size and rotate the the panel to fit the size of the panels on the template. I then used the warp tool to manipulate the panel layers to fit onto the template. I found this to be a tricky task, and had to practice this technique multiple times on the first panel that I edited, until I found that I could perform this action effectively.
Overall, I am very pleased with my digipak and I think that it is fit for purpose. I like the contrasting moods created on the outside and inside of the digipak, and I think that the contrasting use of colours makes its appearance very interesting to the eye. I think that I have demonstrated my ability to use Photoshop well, and I particularly like the layering and opacity I have used on the panel that focuses on Hannah and Josh, and I like the effect created by blurring out the background of the Winter Wonderland panels. I believe I have included all the essential conventions of a digipak, which means that my product would be functional.
