Backcover Text (Part1)

Using Hue/Saturation, Blend Modes, Rubber Tool, Rectangle Marquee Tool and Type Tool 

Rectangle Marquee Tool- I decided to use this tool for the selection of the Rating Advice as this was in a rectangle shape, I felt this was the most appropriate tool to use because of this.

I have already put some text at the top, in the tagline. I also wanted text under the images of the scenes where a short section written about the film will go, for now I will be placing some Lorem Lipsum text here but this is just temporary and when I come to the time where I write the text that will go there I will replace this however I may keep this. Have placed this right in the centre of the back panel, I have chosen to have this font as white because this looked better and I had the tagline line in white colour also. 

I wasn’t so sure what to place after this so I started working from the bottom up because I had plans for what should go on there. Usually at the bottom of DVD covers you find some ratings advice and information about unauthorised use of the DVD. I didn’t want to create my own so I because I thought that they are usually pretty much the same so I went to find one from a high resolution image, this did take a long time because I wanted the find the right one that would fit with my cover. I did want one with a same colour background as mine but because I had an image this was impossible, so I was looking for anything that was good and I would change it to make it transparent. I used this from a movie called The Lincoln Lawyer. When I searched for this I specified the search to show large image so that when I take it to my DVD cover it would not be too small and so I don’t stretch it which would not make it clear which was the problem with some DV D covers. This was fine and you can read the text clearly.

With this text I had to change the Blend Mode because I found when I placed the ratings advice the colour didn’t match, so I changed it to Linear Doge and I added a Hue/Saturation, taking the Saturation down and the Lightness up until I thought it looked fine. Like I said with the transparency thing, all I did was change the Blend Mode to Kind and this got right of the black background, I found that it left a grey boarder so I used the rubber tool to remove this. I also didn’t like the signs at the top of the ratings information, so again I used the rubber tool to remove this to make it fit with my film.
