Inverting the photograph of my hand (painted white), I then overlayed some vaguely punk-sounding song titles onto the top of the image. These song titles were made with the help of a drunken brainstorm at the weekend with a few friends. The initial song is the unknown track that I chose. The font style is 'Sans'.
Using the square tool to wrap around the text, I then inverted the selection and filled it white. I was initially going to mimick David Bowie's The Next Day album by having a white square on top of the image with text on top, but thought I might have a go at reversing that look to further draw attention to the fact that Macro Friends are a subversive band who like to parody more professional acts.
In order to include technical stuff, I used a smaller font and set the alignment to 'fill', turning the font black to contrast against the white background. Anna-Key Records, fake guest performers, my name and my band's name are included.
In the end I also used another image from my white-paint dabbling for the background image, and instead of using a bar code, I thought of my band having more of an online presence, so created this bar code on Barcode Generator so that it their fans can actually scan the digipak for the music/gifts after buying the artwork, so that they may also purchase copies on Itunes for free.
