Photoshop


To be able to create both our Digipak & our Advert/poster, we need to come to terms with how to use a certain programme, called Photoshop. Photoshop is a programme in which people are able to upload either pictures or videos to edit them to quite possibly the highest standards. 

To begin with, we started on our Digipak, in which we used the template placed above to help us with locating the chosen pictures into place. To begin with, we thought we had to drag each picture into the highlighted sections, however there was a certain technique which was taught to us by our teacher. Once we had edited two pictures into the template, we had got the hang of it, and thereby continued comfortably until the end. 

As the pictures we had taken with the camera before hand were of a smaller frame to the sizes of the frames in the digipak frame, we came across a tool called 'Clone Stamp Tool'. Basically this tool enabled us to copy a small snippet of the image, and paste it to the original image, to increase the size of it, instead of increasing the size manually which would make the picture blurred. 

This worked fantastically well, as it solved all our problems for the images being too small. It also became un-noticeable when looking at the image, therefore it isn't pointed out when looking at our Digipak.
