Getting the Best DVD Cover Art

Getting the Best DVD Cover Art

It takes a large amount of time and effort to get just the right look for a media recording, be it CD or DVD.

For movies and other viewing materials you want the cover art to be eye catching and distinctive, while still relevant to the material to be viewed. Depending on the category of movie that the DVD or Blu ray cover is designed for, you will find varied types of scenes depicted on the cover. For an action or adventure video, you will usually find the “good” and “bad” guys in an action shot. In a children’s movie you are likely to find the main characters in a colorful array over the front. A scene of the lovers embracing is the usual theme for romance movies. Of course, this is just a few of the design types for a small list of categories.

With music, you also want to have an eye catching and distinctive cover, but in this, you are given more leniencies. Music covers allow the designer to interpret the idea that the musician wants to convey with the CD they have produced. If the musician is looking for more recognition, they may decide a simple but well laid out photo of the singer/band. For some music albums, the cover artist is given freedom to design the face of the CD based on what the music inspires in them. Others still are given a list of parameters and asked to design based on that.

Instructional and educational DVD’s offer a very difficult challenge to cover artists. With these covers, you must tread a fine line of fun and educational depiction. In order to catch the eye of the buyer you want plenty of color and detail displayed. However too much of a fun display will encourage the shopper to think that this DVD or CD is not going to contain serious or accurate information on the subject of study or learning. For the artist the challenge is creating a captivating and inviting cover while still portraying the learning potential contained inside the case. For most of these, you will note a drawing or photo of a book or page containing the title of the CD or DVD. For those that use a page of a book for the cover art you will note that there is usually information contained that will give you a brief over view or sample of the information that is contained on the disk.

When designing DVD covers or Blu ray covers, you need collaboration and cooperation of multiple parties to make it work. Cover art is a tricky and difficult process. All of these covers have undergone several drafts and alterations before a final design was settled on. It can sometimes take weeks or even months to work out a successful design for any DVD cover. The best cover art takes time to design. It takes a clear idea of what you want to portray and just how you want to portray it. For the best DVD covers and Blu ray covers visit Dvdcoversfuzion.com.
