This DVD cover is for a movie ( a make up movie :D) named Fearside, and it's also the Assignment 2B. I took proud in this piece and post it here as a part of my portfolio.
The contents of this DVD is already given, so i will only discuss the technical steps to make this piece along with some design elements in it. The back ground is created using Cloud in Photoshop and overlayed by 2 other gradient layers to create the color effect. This background can also give a deep feeling effectively. As you can see, the porpotion of the elements here is displayed nicely. The depth can be felt with ease.
Next is the text "Fearside". This one took me a huge amount of time to create it. I used 21 layers to create the text along with its own background. The process is, quite simple but required many steps and tools. I gave the text separate layer and used smudge tool to give a creepy feeling. On another layer, i gave them layer effects such that inner shadow, beveal, and gradient. layer masks are used here and thanks to them, better look can be seen. I gave them 2 layers as blending colors and 1 layer as shadow. The steps are not over, they are duplicated and stretched to give a liquid shadow behind.
The girl face is adjusted carefully to fit in the DVD, and i also added blood stains, or disease marks on her face. Whatever it is, the imagination of you who are viewers is important :). Those blood stains were created separately in a different psd file and blended into this piece.
The back cover and front cover has the same tone of color and background to give them unity in theme and feeling. Red is chosen as the main color here, because it represents blood, gore, pain and horror. It maybe is a little off topic, but i never liked red. However, if you are viewing this entry, take your time and look at my other posts, almost ALL of them have red tone > < this has been bugging me for sometimes, and somehow, i can't break change this. You may call it my style (just joking).
