DVD Back Cover Part 2

For the top and bottom, I am going to put pictures and names of the members there, 4 members at the top and the other 4 at the bottm, the order of the pictures are ordered as their status in their group. I am going to use pictures from their concert. Their pictures are going to be placed in a cicrle, the colour of the circle depends on their represented colours, as for their name, it will have a shadow and a stroke, the colour of the font are also depening on their own represented colours, and for the stroke, I have made it 5 pixels and the colour are a lighter colour of the members colour, so it's more easy to read from far.

DVD Front Cover Part 3

I've had made a title in the middle of the cover, the group name is Japanese writing then the group name in English, and then the DVD tile at the bottom.

The reason that I have added storkes, is that it would make them more stand out from the background. The colour red, pink and blue can be easily be read from distance againist the colourful background.

It seems that the space in the corners don't look good, it seems there's too many sapce, so I decided to add some more pictures, this time it will be group pictures. All 4 pictures has a white stroke and a shadow on them, the shadow distance is 16, this is so that it's more stand-out and will have a pop-out of the cover effect.

DVD Back Cover Part 1

My DVD Back Cover are going to be portrait, because this will then display the DVD information properly and again looks more prefessional as not many DVD back cover are landscape.

The pattern of the background are the same as the front cover, but this time I've added purple, so that it's different from the front cover.

The back cover will also include each member individual image of them but this time, differtent from the front cover, the order of the photos are placed by their status from their group, starting from the colour yellow, their leader of the group and images will be from their previous concert, because on the back of a DVD cover, they always put preview pictures of whats on the DVD, since my DVD will be about their concert too so I've chose to use their concert photos, but this time instead using square, their photo will be in a circle, so that it aparts from the front cover.

DVD Label Part 1

The idea of the members having represented colours are also going to be used on the DVD Label. Guidelines are used for accuarate measurements.
At first, I've divided the DVD Label into 8 bits by using the line tour and using the colours that represents each member, also the order of the member are lined up by thei position in their group, starting from yellow, as the leader.

I searched for pictures of them in their represented colours and here is what I found. Since there are 8 members, the DVD Label are divided equally.

Here are the original pictures

DVD Front Cover Part 2

I've been searching for images of them on the internet, I've decided to find pictures of them with white background because this will make them stand out on a colourful background.

Each member are divided in a square and are placed side by side the DVD cover, this then leave the middle blank, so that I can input other things such as group name and DVD Title.

It still seems are bit odd, so I added a stroke round each members photo, each colour on each members photo are their represented colours.

DVD Front Cover Part1

As I have mentioned before, my DVD Front Cover will be landscape, here is the background of the front cover.

As you can see these colours are very bright, the reason for this is because bright and colourful background are more eye catching and you can from it that this DVD it's funny and a happy DVD to watch.

The background was made by using patterns I found on the internet and overlapped it together, I've decided to overlap the colours and the lines are diagonal rather than using 1 colour and keeps the line vertical or horizontal  because it looks more prefessional this way.

Planning

I started doing my DVD cover and DVD label  in Adobe Photoshop CS5. The image size for my DVD cover is  278mm wide (272mm + 3mm left edge + 3mm right edge) and 190mm high (184mm + 3mm bottom + 3mm top) , the extra 3mm on each side is the bleed area. Resolution has set to 300 pixels/inch. Guidelines are used for accuarate measurements.

As for the DVD label, is 118mm and 42mm for the centre point, resolution is also set to 300 pixels/inch.

I have decided to do a love/comedy film, so I have started to think about the colour theme, I went on to http://www.colorjack.com/ to serach for colour theme and these are the colour themes that I like.
