Desktop Publishing: BASICS - DVD Cover

Created in InDesign using all manner of tools.

  • Desktop Publishing: BASICS - DVD Cover
This piece is included in my portfolio mainly because I enjoy creating things that require a large amount of detail, and a DVD cover does just that. Before I was assigned this project I didn't know how much detail is put into a DVD cover, but now I can fully appreciate all the work put into this project. I am proud of the entire piece, but if I had to choose I would have to say my favorite part is the back. I don't like the way I placed the pictures at the top, but I do like the way I arranged all the fine details. I also like my use of color and how it matches the theme. I guess I have discovered that I am quite a perfectionist, at least when it comes to words and how they are arranged on a surface. And honestly, I have no idea how other people will react to this. Some people might be impressed, but those who can see real talent will probably view this as what it is: a simple and rather poorly put-together DVD cover that took me ages to do! This may surprise people, but the fact is I usually cannot get these types of things done within the deadline, and I was trying to rush through it the entire time because I was worried I wouldn't get it done.
