Making the Back Panel

After i went to take some pictures with Renee I could finally start making my digipack. I started with the back panel because that's the only images i was sure of. In my digipack mock up my idea for my back panel was this:

But when i took the picture it came out like this:

This didn't work out so well because number one, the background wasn't completely black, so it was hard for me to cut out in photoshop, but also when i put it into photoshop this is what happened:

This is the image after i placed it into photoshop. As you

can see the image took up too much space on the back

panel and i didn't have any space to put in any text. 

So i tried to adjust the image using the shift key, but she came up too small.

So thought let me make it longer to see if you wouldn't

notice the distort too much - but that just didn't work.

However, because I was taking pictures for my back up ideas, I was able to use one of those pictures alternatively for my back panel. Do you remember this idea I had for my Cd housing:

Well the pictures I took for this idea turned out really well, and the way the picture was taken made it easy to cut out, and left me with a lot of space to insert text – so I used it. J

I then wrote in all the conventional information for the back using the American Typewriter font and then used InDesign to arrange all my writing, because it makes it much easier.

To successful place my digipack from Photoshop into InDesign I first had to open up a new document in InDesign, and custom the measurements to match the ones from the Photoshop template for my digipack, In Photoshop it is 24.6 cm width and 12 cm height, which meant take I had to custom a for a 6mm (because in InDesign the measurement were in mm) gutter so that I could see the spine because in Photoshop the spine was included in the width, a 240mm width and a 120mm height. Then I put in two columns for the back and the front.

  

Now the measurements are the same as in Photoshop. After that I placed in my Photoshop image, then copied and pasted all the text and started arranging. 

This is my back panel (without my background):
