For the DVD cover we used InDesign importing photographs we had taken on a few of the sites we used for filming our video. We cropped and edited the colouring of the shots to highlight our singer as the focus point of the image rather than the background.
We used the same colour scheme as the magazine advertisement as this provided us with a sense of continuity between our ancillary tasks which we felt was an important aspect of the task.
When creating this cover we looked at both DVD cases that were presently on the market and also CD covers as this is what music albums are traditionally sold in.
We also decided to follow more of a CD cover layout as this was a DVD representing a music video, therefore we used a central stripe that includes the lists of Sarah Russell's other songs that would traditionally be included in a music album, as this draws the attention to the musical aspect of the DVD rather than the film.

We added the finishing touches to our DVD cover by taking the measurements of a real DVD case and checking our design fitted an average DVD case.
After completing our DVD cover we also decided to create a design that can be included on the actual CD of our film as it is very rare to find a blank CD when buying a DVD or CD both are usually linked to the artist or film in some respect. This is what we decided to do and by keeping to our theme of simplicity, we came up with the product that is visible within the issuu document on the second page.
