the final poster design that we shall be using

this poster will need to be edited later as we have had a change of band members because one of our band members is not available and we do not have the entire band together yet. the image on the left and right will need to be changed as this image has been used twice although he is one of the band members.

digipak changes

here are the changes I have made to the digipak after getting comments from the group.

the edits I did are here on the back cover.

to change the logo from Columbia to EMI all I had to do was find an image from the internet of the EMI sign and save then edit it. 

from this I then copied it and put the logo onto our album cover.

another convention of a CD digipak is the bar code, so without editing I dropped the Barcode into the album and left it like that.
