Product of Ancillary work: Initial digipak idea

This was my first attempt at making my digipak. Upon feedback from teachers, I have decided to redo the front and back panels to coincide with the inside panels as they look like two completely separate products. In the initial front and back covers, I copied the color of the background and used it to almost erode away parts of the picture, to give off a fade effect.

To then get the blur effect, I used the blur tool. 

The feedback I gained suggested that the artist looked like they were 'floating' and not fully showcasing the facial features of the artist which is the most important thing as the digipak should promote the artist in every aspect.

Also, the album title and artist name takes up too much of the front cover, the artist should be the main focus, not sharing that audience focus with the text.
