The bottom right is the front cover of the digipak. I originally planned for the picture to be of the artist and the boy from the story to give audiences some indication of how the story will go. The images were taken on south bank because of the quiet spots and views over the river. As I created the cover I used both the artist and the boy, but edited him out to create more of a focus on the artist herself. Even though the shot was taken in London, I wanted to find a more natural shot rather than urban. This is why I chose a day when I knew the weather was going to be clear, and a time where the sun was going down to create a softer image. I also wanted the artist to be wearing white in order to signify purity and angelic features. I was very careful with my choice of text as well, I didnt want to make it too girly or floaty to only appeal to a certain type of audience. The spine is obviously similar to the front cover, using sky from the same shot and the same text type. The bottom left shows the back cover of my digipak. The text used is the same as the front cover, and the songs are taken from the Kate Nash album "Made of Bricks". The shot was taken on Primrose Hill, one of the main locations for the video. It is also at night to contrast the front cover, with the lights of london contrating the natural setting for the front. The artist is also wearing a dark colour, this is becuase the flash would pick up the white too much and drown out the lights of the background. The CD and background on the top left is also of Primrose Hill, showing that its a significant location. The text is also the same as the other three. The inside cover on the top right was without a doubt the most technically difficul of the four parts. The pictures themselves had to be imported onto a plain page, edited to size, copied and pasted onto the main page, rotated, cut down to size, and put into place in the specific place. The pictures were taken in a wooded area in Harlow, with the artist pulling different faces, possibly to show different aspects of her personality. Also the fact that you have to open the CD cover to discover this is symbolic of the artists hidden emotions. Out of the two ancillary tasks I found this the hardest because of the technical ability needed to operate Photoshop and the precision and detail needed.
