DVD Spine

The next step for the dvd cover is add a Spine to it. To do this I used a Rectangular shape in Photoshop to create an outline of the spine. This created a long rectangular spine where I will add the movie title, dvd logo and the movie rating to it. To add the movie title I used the Vertical Type Tool to add the movie title vertically so it goes down the spine. I then changed the font colour to red because this will create a light red blood colour of the title down the spine.
Next is to add a dvd logo to the spine which will represent this movie as a dvd and not a blueray movie. To get the dvd logo I went on to Google Images and saved a dvd logo image and then resized it so it fits at the top of the spine.

Finally to complete the spine I will be needing a rating logo at the bottom of the spine. This will identify the rating of the movie from the spine and also I will be adding a rating at the front of the dvd cover as well. I also went on to Google images and found a 12 certificate logo and placed it on the spine. I decided to add an effect to the movie rating as I would like it to stand out so therefore I decided to use the Bevel and Emboss effect to change the structure of the logo to almost like a 3D 12 certificate rating.
