This blog will go through the stages of creating an Amaray style game/movie case, creating a DVD label and a short one minute trailer for the DVD/Game. The game case will be created in Photoshop and on a canvas that will be created with the same dimensions as an actual Amaray case. This will make it easier to work with and use physically. Photoshop will not be the only piece of software used, i am planning to use illustrator as well Smart Photo Editor and (nch) software. These software are important to use as they specialize in creating a more professional looking end product whereas Photoshop is better used in editing and manipulating photos.
Similarly the DVD label will be created using a few different pieces of software.I shall construct the main image on Adobe Illustrator as other software such as Photoshop are better used when editing and manipulating images to create the DVD label image. To finish the item i shall be using Adobe Fireworks to create the official DVD logo's and CD circle will cover the official requirements for a PlayStation 2 game. I have chosen Adobe Fireworks ahead of other software because the images can be edited without damaging the original quality which is possible with other software. On one layer you can use a multiple images whereas in Photoshop etc you require various layers allowing me to create one single layer with the various small logos pasted onto it.
I have created some mind maps and ideas and will continue to post updates throughout this project explaining the various stages of construction and why i have made such decisions.
