Following on from the style of the front cover, we wanted the theme to continue throughout the digipak. We decided to choose another woodland photo for the back cover and we liked this image most. With the same adjustments, we changed the size to 12cm by 12cm, altered the hue and contrast, added a 'Warming Filter' of orange, and again used the 'Stained Glass' effect, all on Adobe Photoshop CS4. This was so that both the front and back cover had the exact same theme, and reflected each other, as can be seen below.
Next, we added the necessary text on to the back cover, in order for the image to look professional and legitimate. Using a translucent orange box to place the song titles on, this lifted the text off the existing image making it clearer to see, without cutting out any of the original photo. We did however decide to use a different font here in comparison to the band logo font, as well as the colour and size. We chose brown to suit the woodland concept, and we made each song title different sizes for effect, to appeal to the eye. We then added underneath necessary copyright information which is included on all existing album artwork. The finished product is below and we were pleased with the professional outcome, and we think it compliments the front cover well.
