DVD cover and disk image 12/02/01

This is the DVD cover for my film America: Story Of A Nation. I made the front cover using pictures of the Statue of Liberty, some skyscrapers, the American flag, and a cheeseburger. The skyscrapers are lower towards the centre of the image, which draws the viewer's attention towards the centre. A similar effect is used with the base of the Statue of Liberty. I made the back cover using the stripes from the American flag and some official Presidential pictures.

This is the DVD disk image for the same film. I used the metallic effect on the text so it would stand out against the background. I used the same Presidential pictures but this time in a curved line, so it would adhere to the edge of the DVD and would also be reminiscent of Mount Rushmore. Like in the DVD cover, I was trying to present as overwhelmingly American an image as possible.

I looked at a variety of DVD covers and found 2 that I liked (Carlito's Way and Le Pere Noel Est Une Ordure). I then sketched a design for a DVD cover of my own for a film called 'America: Story Of A Nation' and began creating a high-quality cover and DVD image in Photoshop. To the left is the image that will be on the front cover. I created it by putting pictures of the Statue of Liberty, a miscellaneous skyscraper, and the American flag together, as these are all things associated with America and this conveys the idea that the film is about America.
