Ancillary Tasks

Having made some sketches of ideas for a DVD cover and a magazine cover, I started to work on them in Adobe Photoshop. I began by finding a DVD template and then using photographs and using the same font that was used in the opening of the TV drama.



This is the very basic DVD cover that I have started to put together, it is not finished yet as there are still areas missing and I will add some effects to the images and text. However, this may give a feel of the type of DVD I am aiming for and the final look. Having started this, I have a positive idea towards the DVD cover and its final look, but I still think I need more practice with using the effects in Photoshop effectively. Moreover, when completing textual analysis and looking at other DVD cover's from the same genre, I noticed that the design of most was quite basic - very little effects were used, instead a particular font was chosen and a few photographs of the drama.
