The originality of the digipack was based around the theme/genre of 80's synthpop, hence why we decided to use a colour scheme that projected a camp femine/ emotional feel to the digipack; for example we used close-up shots of the male character looking distant and thoughtful, we used less masculine colours and used more ceramic backgrounds such as pinks and reds contrasting with pictorial images of trees/nature. We made sure that the link between each section of the digipack as well as the advert for the digipack was connected together somehow, this made sure that all the graphics co-inside with one another.
To design the digipack we used a number of programs that allowed us to format the picture without great difficulty. Obviously we used the bog standard windows office programs such as publisher and word, however when it came to construct more complex designs we chose to use Adobe Fireworks which meant we could broaden our IT skills and propel these skills into our digipack and magazine advert. Although I found using Adobe fireworks produced a well presented, satisfying finish; it did not match publisher when it came to grouping the finished digipack together, I found it much easier to manoeuvre compared to Adobe Fireworks.
