The Brief

In this assignment we were asked to come up with an idea for a package, composed of an Amaray DVD Cover, a Disc Label and a short (one minute long) video. This package could be done for an existing Movie/Game, a non existent Movie/Game or a mashup of several Movie/Games.

For this assignment we will have to use Photoshop for our DVD Cover, Illustrator for our Disc label and Premier for our video. We are allowed to use any other programs to complement our ideas, but the final work needs to be done on these three programs.

The assignment must be handed in by 14:00 on 6th of May 2016.



DVD Cover


This must be created in Photoshop. It must demonstrate that you can setup a Photoshop file with the correct Size and DPI, and that shows that you understood how to use Selection Tools, Filters, Layers, Layer Transparency, Levels, Guides and how to apply Effects.


DVD Disc Label


This must be created in Photoshop and/or Illustrator. It must contain a Logo and must demonstrate the use of Pen Tool, Type Tool, Brushes, Clipping Masks, Guides, layers, Transparencies, Text Wrap and the placing of Images.

 Promotional Video


The final editing must be done in Premier, but you can import elements from other programs. The video must be 1 minute long. The final product must demonstrate knowledge of setting up a Premier project (with the right frame size/rate and in widescreen), importing images, importing audio and video, trimming clips, adding transitions and effects to clips, and adding titles over clips. The finished product must be encoded with an appropriate codec.
