Reflective of process of making artwork: Digi-Pack

For the digi-pack we used Photoshop, the reason we used this software is because I am semi capable of using it because of using it for a previous assignment and I am aware of their fantastic editing program.

This turned out to be a lot harder than expected when making our digi-pack as it is difficult to freely move things around, once placed onto the page, because of Photoshop's interesting "Layering" technique, this took some serious getting use to, meaning that myself and my group had to play around with the software in order to get use to it and although this felt like a complete burden it was a gateway to find out some of its qualities that we didn't know. We also faced problems like saving files as particular things e.g. JPEG. This task in itself proved to be challenging but we also knew that if we couldn't save it in a this particular format then we would screen shot the pictures, this would bring down the quality of the picture but was the only way we could think of. This problem was resolved and the digi-pack was successfully saved as a JPEG image. Making the digi-pack and choosing songs to be on the lyric pages was not difficult as we knew that the best artists songs to use would be who other than Eliza Dootlittle! We then carefully picked the songs that we thought were most significant therefore earning a place on a lyric page.
