I had started my digipak, however didnt really have an idea on what to include on the front cover. I went how and looked at CD covers I had at home, to see what kind of things they include. I noticed that on most new CD's there was a sticker that had some information on the songs included. I decided that although I couldnt have a real sticker that I would create the effect on photoshop. I decided to create a box with some of the information I wanted to help 'sell' the product. This also made the cover look better and more professional. The only other thing I needed to make was the title of the album. I decided to add the artists name Ed Sheeran to the cover and put this down the right hand side. I needed a title and came up with 'Coming Home'. The reason I did this is for 2 reasons. I noticed on my website that I had tour date information. With the name of the album as coming home, I could play on the words and call the tour the homecoming tour. This sounded good but another reason why is because I found that the last letter of home 'E' is the same as the beginning of Ed. I decided to link the title with the artists name so that it gave a good effect. I had stuck to a black and white coloured theme however I believed that it looked to plain and boring. Most CD's are colourful to help them stand out, so I decided to go for a Red, Yellow and Blue colour theme. Here is my Front Cover completed:

As you can see, the CD would stand out quite a lot amongst others. By using these colours, it means that I will have to follow this throughout both my digipak and my website as I want to keep good continuity.
