Digipak Inspiration (Darkroom Photography)

I would like to my digipak to have a clear theme and design as it will make the product look more inclusive than separate images placed together. To do this, I would like to use stylistic features like darkroom photography strips in every panel. I think the grayscale design fits the genre, while showing my ability to manipulate images on photoshop and conventions of a digipak. Here are some examples of Darkroom Photography-

I think this would look very good on a CD Cover. I would take my photos and layer then up in photoshop (adding texture filter) and changing the opacity and colour levels. I would also use the border to look like a vintage photograph, possibly placing that on the spine of the digipak. I also like the handwritten text. I could use DaFont for a written styled font or instead free hand on some paper and then scan. I would remove the background using the magic eraser, therefore leaving the writing to place over the photo. On the rear cover, which would contain the track listing, I could use the same technique to keep the cover consistent.

I have trialled the technique briefly to see if the style could work-

I quickly created this document and could already see the technique working well for my final product, I haven't done the strips but this gives a clear idea of what I wish to include on my digipak.
