How i created my dvd cover using photoshop
1. How I Created My DVD Cover
Using Photoshop
By Amy Haley
2. Step One.
I first started by opening Photoshop and then opening a new layer with the
double page DVD cover layout on it, I thought that using a layout would be the
best way to make sure everything stayed in proportion and was laid out in the
right places to attract my target audience, it was also a easier way of dividing
up the page into front about back adding in the spine of the DVD box.
3. Step Two.
I then went about creating a subtle background for my DVD box, I used the colours pink
and white as the were more appealing to my target audience, I then used the Gradient
Tool to create a darker to lighter colour on the box, I decided to do this as I thought it
was lighter and less harsh then a block colour all over the DVD box.
4. Step Three.
I then went about planning my photo-shoot for my front, after I had shot a few pictures
I choice my favourite one and started to cut it out using the Rectangular Lasso Tool, this
tool gave the image I better edge as if you zoom into a high pixel, the edges become
blurred leaving a better outcome when cut out and later zoomed back out.
5. Step Four.
I then dragged over my character and positioned her on the front in the centre which I
thought was more eye catching and draws the buyer in first, I then went about finding a
wand on Google I cut it out using the Magic Wand Tool and then placed it in the characters
hand moving the layer behind her hand to make it look as if she’s holding it.
6. Step Five.
I then went about creating the top and spine strips to add something different to my DVD
box, I duplicated the layers so that the tops were equal and so was the spine, I got the
image off Google and cut out sectors of it, I thought it would link well with my character
being a witch.
7. Step Six.
For step six a started to add text to the top of the front and back and also to the
spine, I used a font called ‘Vladimir Script’ I thought this font sat well with the
theme and target audience it looks elegant and girly, I stuck with the basic colours
of white and a touch of pink to stick with the running theme through my work.
8. Step Seven.
As when looking at other DVD covers I noticed that every DVD had a guideline of
information on the pack displayed in a table/box, I couldn’t find one on the internet
good enough to use so I decided to create my own using an existing DVD cover for
help on what information to include. For this I just used lines and ‘Tahoma’ font, I
also included some logos like the PG logo and Nickelodeon logo.
9. Step Eight
After creating the information box on the back I decided that the back needed
something different to it to stand out so I created a comic strip of images from
the series and my opening animation to pull the buyer/viewer in.
10. Step Nine.
For my ninth step I completed the back of the DVD cover, I added the blurb where I
wrote about the series, characters and exciting upcoming episodes to draw the viewer
in, I also added another photo of ‘Sabrina’ in the top left hand corner I added to a
heart so it looks like she's blowing a kiss this was taken from my animation and links
the two tasks together.
11. Step Ten.
For this final step I added the title, I decided to back the ‘S’ with a star to represent magic, I added a new text
type which I found on dafont.com I decided to use a different text to make it stand out more and show the
viewer that this is the logo for this show, I also added a star above the ‘I’ which I duplicated the layer for, I
decided to do this to keep the running theme along the title, I also completed the front image by adding stars
to the wand, this tells the viewer this program is about magic and the character is a witch.
