DVD Cover


Starts – 12th May

Finished – 8th May

The reason I did not mentioned these in log book as the information are all blogger and would be copied here. However this was like a paper assignment to be hand in so therefore to be organised, it would be better as each specific task has been created to make it easier to read.

Borderline:

The whole DVD case needed to be professional so therefore Jamie took us to designed and the page layout as a class.  

Background: for the DVD page there was needed of large resolution pictures as the setting of the page was really big there for in the search engine of Google there was a picture of a city I found which I liked it lot to go with my DVD case. Once the picture got imported into the Photoshop, edition of the picture was started.

Firstly the picture of the case was too big and the part which I wanted was mostly on the right hand side of the picture as you can see in the image below. Then it got cropped in Photoshop to get the exact size and therefore been imported into the main DVD cover. However the left side was still missing so I thought it would be better to have a mirrored image on the left side to the right side so the picture got pasted twice.

Secondly, the picture was been played around the hue and saturation tool in Photoshop to get nice bright colour in its background. Alongside there was a lens affect been added into the background at the top as this was to go with the name of the movie, ‘Race’.
   Thirdly, I had the actor photo on the background image as a new layer but however once the text was been put the image look really bad so therefore the actor image was deleted.
Fourthly, the lake needed to be deleted from the actual image but however this would make the image as a whole look worse. Therefore a thought came in my mind that why not add a desert onto them which will look much better and at the end it did turn out to be much better compare to the lake image. The image below is the picture of the desert which I took from Google search engine and only two edition to it and they were the size been kept to match the DVD cover and the sky at the top of the desert been removed. 

 
 Car:
The desert had a road in which made me put forward the idea to put a car in the road. The car which looked better was a white colour Bugatti as the car is very much famous and expensive and also the white colour looked really nice to go with the colour of the image as it its dark and white will stands out. However the car itself went through few editions.
Firstly the image background was deleted. This is because an image without the background removed would looked un professional so therefore in Photoshop it got edited.
Secondly, the car has to be eye catching on the road of that desert as its dark and the colour of the car is not enough. This is where the lens effect comes in which were put onto the car headlights looking like its coming to you.
This image below is the evidence of the car been edited into the Photoshop.
 
 
Font of race:

 
This is the name and logo which I came out with it at the end.
It got started from a normal text with the size over 100 pt. As the text was to show the movie name race so the design of the name go edited into the race style as the name is running into the race. The effect which was able to do this was the tiles effect with it the three dots were also turned out to be excellent.   
The movie name looked simple so a sub line was thought to be put as little guide about the movie. Therefore I came up with a line and that was ‘started by many ends by one’.
 Flags:
On the DVD case there was a car, road and a name race so the only one thing was missing in the race is a racing flag. Therefore using the Google search engine got the racing flag. To make the flag to be able to be on the poster there was some edition needs such as the background needed to be deleted. Once the background got deleted all the white parts of the flag got deleted. Therefore using the paint tool and quick selection I manage to fill the empty spaces with the white colour.
Story line:
For the story of the movie was came by me from all the movies I have been watching about racing. This made me came with a story of a poor guy whose heart is in racing cars and winning the mainstream race which is the worldwide racers will be racing each other and winning the competition. The image below is the story line to the DVD case.
The guy on the left is the hero in my movie and in real life he is a Bollywood actor named Saif Ali Khan and the image on the bottom right is from the video which I used to put in my movie. 
 
 
Movie information:
The movie information was taken from reaching many other DVD case as my work place is at supermarket where all the DVD gets sold, therefore I had browsing them for half an hour and came with the information at the end which is shown in the image below.  The most important information I thought that would be put on the DVD case was the running time, subtitle of the movie and its language. 
Logos:
The logos which were used into the movie poster were taken from the Google search engine and there were only 4 of them which I thought would be very useful alongside there was my half hour research on the DVD case;  
-          Universal
The logo was imported from internet into Photoshop and once a picture is in clipboard and when you get an new page in Photoshop, it automatically reads the size of the image you copied.
 
 

 
The background was deleted as I wanted the logo to be white with the background delete.
 
Once the background was deleted there was a need of colour change so colour overlay was a good option and then a shadow just to give a professional look.
-          15 age restriction
The age restriction was just copied from internet as this is to with the originality in the restriction. This is the link of the logo; http://www.rswebsites.co.uk/mediafilm/production-toolkit/bbfc-15/ .  
-          Fact / Dolby digital
Fact and Dolby digital was performed in the same manner as universal logo. Firstly the back ground was deleted and then the colour overlay came in to give it a white look to go with the desert image in the background of the DVD case. 
-          Barcode:
This is one of my creations towards the assignment and it was created in Photoshop.
Step one was to get a white background page and then add some black colour stripes. This image image was taken at the creation of the barcode.


 
 The other thing was to add another more stripes but have to keep some thick and others really thin. Once the stripes done then the numbers will be added to the stripes and they were random numbers which came into my head and I just added them. The image below is the finished barcode which I came out on Photoshop and was ready to go onto my DVD case.
