Digipak Poster Construction

For my poster I wanted to use an image of the main character with all the visual props in the video such as the cap and gold chain. This image taken created an effect of light to dark in the background which would be perfect to create a visual poster.







I chose the Lemon Milk font to use for my date of release as it is bold but not boring.



I then created a black backing which slightly overlaps the image.



So my poster matched the effects of my CD. I duplicated the chain and put the opacity at 50%. This makes the chain more visual in the image.

For my typography i used boxes to let the text be more visual and to also fit in with the typical codes and conventions of a digipak poster.

 

I changed the typography on Dafont to separate this text from my Title and Band name. 

To add some movement to my poster i duplicated the image and blurred the hands to make this less static and more engaging for the audience.

 

I finally added lens flare to my picture to fill the dull background and to add some more artificial light to my piece to match the codes of indie rap high key lighting.
