Usually on the back panel of the DVD cover you find what is like a tagline or a quote to describe the film from critics, it can sometimes be found on the front panel but I want the focus to be on the image and font so I felt it would be appropriate on the back. Whilst looking for text I should place for the description of the film from the text generator Lorem Lipsum. I found a tagline line when translated in English sounded really good and very horror like. It was: "There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain...". Font Trajan Pro and a size of 11.
Using Clipping Masks, Layer Styles, Rectangle Tool, Adjustment Layer
Now I will have my collection of images that are scenes from the movie right under this. To begin with I used the Rectangle Tool to create the boxes that the images would be put in and made sure the distance between the boxes was the same and the height and length is the exact same. Now I have created these placements I needed to look for the images to be contained in them. First I knew I wanted a young girl character and searched into Google “girl screaming” but the pictures were not what I was looking for so I looked at films with young girl characters and knew a film that was recently out in cinemas which had a young girl character screaming. I then went on to find this image into Google, image below. I wanted three images there, for the second image I want a grabbing hand with blood surrounding it again I looked into Google searched “Bloody hand” and found the image below which stood out from the rest. Then for my last image I wanted a sky image, so into Google I searched for “Scary sky” and the second image I saw I liked and wanted to use.
Now I have the images I want to use, instead of simply placing the image over or in the rectangle I decided to use a Clipping Mask as this was the most effective way, I did this and adjusted the size of the image so that the whole image can be seen. I decided to add an stroke to get box and make the outline white and a stroke size of 3px. You can see this below. I have not yet applied any effects but will do so, also on the front cover you may tell that I have the words "Based on a true story" written under the title, this has an outer glow applied to it like the font.
Time for effects:
I added two adjustment layers these were Curves and Levels, it was applied to the whole of the back cover but with the curves I focused it on the top part where these images were. I changed the settings until I was happy with how it reflected my image. Below finished images
