Digipak Spine Construction

To create the spine for my digipak I used the same fonts that I used on the front and back covers of the digipak. I copied them from those documents and then pasted them as new layers onto the spine. I firstly used the paint bucket tool to make the spine black like the rest of the digipak.










I then pasted the fonts for the band and album name onto the spine. However they pasted in black so I had to right click on each layer and the select blending options. From here I applied the same colour overlay as the fonts on the front and back of the digipak.
Then using the free transformation tool, I adjusted the size of the fonts so that they were in better proportion with the size of the spine. I decided that I wanted to use the same image that was on the front cover of the digipak on the spine. Therefore I copy and pasted it as a new layer. I used the free transformation tool to make it smaller and then positioned it between the band and album name.


Finally, I added the release/product number to the spine. This is because when looking at digipaks I noticed that their spines all included the same number that was in their copyright information located at either the back of the digipak or on the CD. I used white font for this and a small font size in order to ensure that it wasn't the focus of the spine.

Here is the final spine:
