Research Into Print Artefacts: DVD Cover

I researched DVD covers to look at the codes and conventions of the covers, and to see if and how they were different to the album covers. I concluded that the same font and logo had been used, but not the same images. The DVD covers were all really simple; consisting of an image (or lots of various images) of the artist, their logo and name of their tour. It also consisted of the DVD logo and the parental advisory logo (if required). Below are the DVD covers that I analysed:






I have decided that I will not be using a still from my footage for the DVD cover, as I don't think it fits the codes and conventions well. I will instead be using an image of my actress taken separately. I will edit the image to see what I can do with it to make it more visually interesting and then add the logos required, along with the artists logo and the name of the tour, making the front and back cover. The back cover will consist of the artists playlist, which will be the various tracks off her album.
