The first thing I decided to do was put in the song list for the album, I did this in the back cover and in order to make the writing visible I had to blur the the background (but not Robyn and Arthur) - this was rather easy and with guidance from YouTube tutorials and a little bit of Kirsty I was able to get this done (however it did not make the text easier to read so I had to come back to it later).
I then moved in to Robyn's name and the text, I already used a font I really liked on my tour poster so decided to use that, enhancing the synergy, I also made it the same colours as well.
I then went back to the back cover and tried to change the colour of the image in order for the text to be readable, but there was nothing that I liked so went against it (coming back to the problem later).
After that I put two different lyrics from our song 'Build a Boat' in the top left and right images, the left one saying 'and the building up the beautiful we'll be' and the right one saying 'what if we grow up without really growing down?', I feel the two of these fir with the images really well as the growing down one was with the children and the 'up' one was with the teenagers showing the beauty of their ageing and that they are growing together.
Then it was into the CD. I honestly had no idea of what to do for this and came up with a few idea like having little fishes going on it or having the 'R+A=4EVA' on it like I did with my digipak idea but neither of these felt right. I then found an image of grass that looked similar to the one Robyn is laying on in he front cover and put the YOUTH lettering that Kirsty created over it, I was very happy with this in the end and Kirsty agreed that it was very good.
I felt that i was nearly finished but then remembered that I needed to put in the fish. I tried to copy and paste the one that I made but it did not work so I made each one individually which I think added a uniqueness to each one.
Finally I went back to the back cover, I decided to try the purple tint and see if I could get it to work (which I had failed to do with Photoshop previously). In the end after a playing around with it for a bit I landed on something that I was really happy with and then I finished the digipak.
