Using Photoshop

As I will be using Photoshop to create my digipak, I practised using all of the essential tools on the programme found on the tool bar. 

I was already familiar with the concept of layers and so I knew to put a new image or shape onto a new layer to avoid confusion and also to enable me to edit the piece of work more efficiently.

I am able to use the magic select tool as well as the polygon lasso to cut out images/select a specific area to use in an image. 

Also, I have practised using the text tool to create different styles of text on Photoshop as this will also be crucial in the production of the digipak.

In making this piece of work, I also experimented with using the shape tools to create the rectangles, as well as using the opacity bar to alter the opacity of the shapes.

Furthermore, I am able to use the colour swatch tools as well as the eraser tools to alter the style and effect of my work. 

Most importantly, I practised transforming images and shapes to change their size and rotation. This tool is perhaps the most important as it is used for every image and object that is placed onto the layers.
