After looking over the panels for my digi-pak again and proceeding with further research, I came to the conclusion that they were slightly plain. After reseraching through albums, I came across
"Green Day - American Idiot", although it may not be a digi-pak album, their front cover panel opens up into a booklet of all of the lyrics to which are hand written. I personally thought this added slightly more to the album and it seemed to make it feel quite authentic. It was in scribbly handwriting with mistakes and errors to see also. So for one of the plain band photos along the middle of the digipak, I wrote out the lyrics to the used song "TWO DOORS DOWN" in my own handwriting, to make it look slightly messy as if hours had been spent writing it with my own purposly added mistakes. I wrote the lyrics on to tracing paper and then scanned them into the computer. I then opened up both images into Adobe Photoshop, and placed the panel of lyrics over the top of the image and lowered the opacity significantly, until the writing was only faint and not overpowering the photograph. I like the outcome, and feel it just brings an added element to the image and digi-pak as a whole, rather than seperate photographs.
