Making my DVD Cover

For my DVD Cover I used a lot of Free Transform to change the size of some of the pictures. I also used Crop to crop parts of one image to put on the spine. I also went on dafont.com and found a font that I felt went well with my genre.
My new DVD Cover is very different than my original idea so I will have to redo a draft design. The reason I did this was because when trying to do the original picture ideas I found that they did not look the way I wanted and either looked to empty or too crowded.
So instead I decided to take over pictures which will hopefully look good and professional at the same time.

The decisions I've made

For my DVD cover/DVD inside and DVD ad I decided to keep the theme of lines from the Hold On Music video. I want to have the setting for the front cover to have plenty of things that would suggest they are lines such as railings and steps up towards the bridge by the school. For the inside we have a pavement and a road, a direct example of lines (such as in the road) and for the DVD ad I would have the artist but a fence, meaning more lines and splitting the image into separate bits. Also for the back of the DVD cover I would have a building with windows but the windows would serve as the different screenshots for the DVD, including some images of the multiple stories from Hold On.
Also the setting for the pictures would be in a urban setting. The reason I would do this is because rap artists are associated with urban environments such as streets and parks. Because our rap artist is based in the UK it would make more sense for him to be in a typical England street.

Inside of DVD Cover

For the Inside DVD cover I kept the image of the artist in there on a street with the titles of the songs and the extras along the road, however I will be coming up with more song titles later to give the full amount of songs that you would expect to find on an album. On the other side is a car tire to represent where the disc should be. I did this because Rap is a urban style of music and cars are considered very urban due to films like The Fast & The Furious.
I did these to give the inside some edge and appeal. Urban streets and cars are very much a part of the rapper image and I feel these things will help make the inside of the DVD cover look more real and appeal to its target audience.

DVD MAGAZINE AD

For the magazine ad I kept with the urban setting and have two images of the artist holding his own DVD. the reason I did this was because it helps them understand who the artist is and creating a link between him and the product, making it a better advertisement for the artist and his product. The slogan is GET IT!, trying to give the same feeling as Your Country Needs You, giving the image that you need to get this DVD. Also there is a mid shot of him looking angrily at the viewer, adding to the stereotypical image of a rapper.

SCHOOL BOY: DVD COVER

For my DVD Cover I tried to keep to the traditional setting of a Hip Hop/Rap artist and used a Urban setting. I plan to do the image by a bridge to keep in the theme of borders and split images that I had in the Hold On music video as I plan to have a fence behind the bridge steps so there is more lines as well as a small barrier along the road.
In the draft I have Schoolboy in a tracksuit but I feel that because his title is Schoolboy that he should be in a school uniform of some sort.

EDITING: PART 3

We're really trying to get everything perfect. If something is on screen for too long we cut it down and find a new clip to replace it. However we can't get Lewis' dubbing correct so we'll have to refilm that because if we think it looks wrong so will the examiner and we (or at least I) want the best grade!
