Final Version

This is my finished version of my DVD disk in illustrator. I have placed the logo at the bottom of the disk so no empty space is left on the disk so therfore I have completed creating the DVD disk label. 

 

 

 

 

Logo

I created my DVD Logo by following a tutorial online to create a fantastic logo for this movie. I then added the word Premium on the banner for this logo to make it outstanding and creating a premium effect on it. I used the pen tool to create this logo by creating the shape around the logo and then adding two circle shapes between them.

Rating Logo

I also have to add the rating logo on to the disk just like I did on the movie cover. Below is the reference link where I got the image from. I put the rating logo just opposite where the DVD Logo is so it looks much better with a logo on each side of the disk.

DVD Logo

Now that I have added an image on my disk and a movie title I now will need a DVD Logo which will tell the audience whether this disk is a DVD or a Blueray disk. I got this image from Google Images and below I have referenced the source of the image. I therefore placed this image at the side of my disk just under the horizontal guide line.

Creating the Movie Title on Disk

Creating the Movie Title





I used the Type tool in Illustrator to write the words Monsters at the Carribean at the top of the disk. The after this I used various effects on it to make it turn into a blood effect text.  So first of all I changed the colour of the text in to light and dark red by using the Gradient colours to create a blood type effect on the movie title. The reason why I choose to use Gradient colour over a normal colour is because a gradient colour had two layers of colours light and dark therefore it at attracts the movie title to lot of audiences.

 

Next I increased the Stroke of the movie title up to 7pt and this essentailly increases the outline of the text and the reason for that is because it should stand out from the rest of the image on the disk giving it a monster feeling to it. Then I went into the Effects tab and went on to Stylize - Outer Glow. I used a dark black glow for this movie title to create dark patches around the text.

 

 

 

 

Creating a Clipping Mask for DVD Disk

Now that I have done some research in creating a DVD disk I will now going make a start with my DVD disk. To start things off I decided to find a pirates at the caribbean wallpaper which will be my background image for my disk. The reason why I chose this specific wallpaper is because it creates an evil effect on this movie as this wallpaper has a pictures of a skull and swords around it.

To create the wallpaper into a disk shape I used something called a Clipping Mask. This essentially allows me to apply a shape around the image and then in illustrator go on to Object - Clipping Mask - Make and then it crops the image around the circle shape I created so it fits on to the disk shape.

Vector Images

To create my DVD disk I must use Vector Images rather than Bitmap. This is because Bitmap images tend to go blurry when it is zoomed into it whereas vector image stays the same whether you zoom in or out. 

Vector Images stores information about the image and these information are Location, Fill Colour, Outline Colour, Thickness  of Line, Store using Co- Ordinates. 

This goes the same with the logo that I have to create as that also needs to be Vector based and it should also compliment my DVD Cover.

Examples of Vector Images:

DVD Disk Guides

The program that I will be using to create my DVD disk is Adobe Illustrator. But before I can start I will need to create guides for the disk so like an outline of it. This is to make sure that everything on the disk is safe from being cut off when it is printed out. Below is a screenshot of the guides that I created for my DVD disk.  

Brainstorming Ideas for DVD Disk

Now that I have completed my DVD cover I will now come up with some ideas on how to create the DVD disk. So to do I researched a different variety of DVD disks similar to my movie for example: Pirates at the Caribbean series and try to come up with different ideas to create my disk.

Here are some images I found on Google Images with each different design on the disk.
