DVD cover research

Research for DVD cover:

The task was to create a DVD and a CD cover for our own movie in this assignment. Therefore before I start, planning and researching was necessary to be able to create a professional DVD Cover. With the help of Google search engine I researched few other movies DVD cover to help me in my own work. This is because I am myself not a specialised designer for movies who design posters for movie. Therefore researching was a good suggestion to get the ideas of how a DVD and CD cover is made.

Firstly DVD cover will be annotated of what kind of things they have put across on a professional cover.  The picture below was searched on Google images which was and this is the link to the actual image;

On the other hand, with the case the CD is left to be researched. Therefore, again google search engine has been used and found one good example to examine for my work. The image underneath is the research material and this is its url,

Movie 1 eample

Movie 1 example

This is a first time we all students go to get our hands on Premier software. Jamie our teacher provided us with two videos which were saved onto the VLE and we just had to download them into our area.

Moreover two videos were from the organisational TV ad called compare the market which contained many other TV ads so we only chose Alexander Sergei and Yaakov ones to use.

The edition contained as Jamie lead us were to take a part out from both videos and add them together and at the end of the movie the organisation name i.e. ‘compare the market’ has to been seen. The edition of the video clips were performed using the ‘mark in’ and the ‘mark out’ tool and then we had to drag it across to the where it should be. Mark in tool was to declare the starting point of the video to be cut from and mark out was the point where it should be cut to. Once the videos been edited they were dragged to the timeline of the movie and joined one after another.

Furthermore, I did mentioned about the company logo; ‘compare the market’ has to be put right at the end of the video. The photo was already been taken from Google search engine which was been imported later on to premier and once again was just needed to be dragged to the timeline and this time it was right at the end of the video. Once the edition was completed the video was rendered and saved it to my area in the University as it was a risk to put on the personal storage device as the computer functioned really slowly.      

Monkey soft logo

The task was to design a logo for a company called monkey soft. This was given to the whole class to come out with an individual work as it was a platform for us students to learn more about the software, illustrator.

The things were started off by getting a landscape A4 page size setup on illustrator so I have a plenty of room to design my logo. As tool pen was used earlier week to design apple logo therefore I used the same method to design a monkey face as to go with the name, ‘monkey soft’. Alongside with the soft name with the monkey the outline of the monkey face has been in soft touch. There was a monkey so therefore I though that I might need to put a banana with it using the same method which was used to do the monkey face design.  The below picture as you can see which shows the evidence of what i have designed so far.   

  

            

Moreover the picture still looked empty as the main part i.e. the name of the company was not on the logo. Therefore the text font which suited the logo was ‘Kristen ITC regular’ with 41 pt and because the soft part looked better with small size so it was minimized it to 27 pt. However the logo still looked very simple as there was nothing around it. Therefore a ring sticker been added around the monkey with another additional sticker to it which lies between the font ‘monkey soft’. The colour part was the most important part to it as the logo has to look professional so for this reason brown colour which soft strokes been added to most of the work whereas the sticker between the logo kept yellow to stand out and banana in its original format. The image below is the finished product which i have designed for first time as a task with perfection and was really proud with it.
