Creating My Own Design

I had already decided on my background colour and font I wanted to use. I used the Mistral font; which is a vintage script style font that I liked using on my previous drafts. I also decided to using the "strong" setting on my artist name to bolden it as this was an idea given to me by feedback from peers. For my background I used a very pale shade of yellow to create an old parchment/paper look reminiscent of the artwork for "Talkie Walkie" by Air.

Now came the issue of getting my main image of the clock. I am not a talented drawer or artist so i asked a friend who is an graphics student to draw a clock for me after showing her my ideas. She sent me this the day after and I was very happy with it. I scanned it in and put it onto Photoshop. After some struggle recolouring the white parts of the paper it was originally drawn onto; I eventually got it to fit into my pre-made design fairly easily. I am happy with the results of this as my front cover as it is almost exactly how I imagined it in my head, therefore I am satisfied that I can now move on to designing the rest of the digipak.
