Digipak progress - panel 3

A key distinction between a digipak and a regular album is that digipaks contain two extra panels. Often these panels contain interesting designs that add an element of creativity and diversity to the product. Below, I have added my first 'design' panel, acting as the third panel in my digipak.

I created this design by downloading a series of brushes online. These brushes create a flowing movement that, when added together, still appear seamless as if one strand of smoke.  It was important to create a seamless image that did not appear unrealistic and so this design looks as good as I thought it would. I used blending option 'colour overlay' in addition to the smoke brush to add a change in colour throughout the smoke. This was because of the colour complexities in my front cover that I have aimed to match in order to create a consistent appearance to the product. As well, the colour are similar to the design on the back cover, ensuring a consistent image.

The remaining two design panels I will create will differ slightly from this. One, being an image of the lead singer of band and the other being some similar to this. In order to relate to relate both of the them to the rest of the digipak, I will endeavour to use the colours (organge-red) that I have used in the rest of my panels.
