Description
Why would I create my own DVD covers? The reasons for custom covers are varied. Some people do not care for the "Digipaks" that many TV series come in. They are cumbersome to deal with, and often you have to unfold the whole thing just to remove one disc! There are other reasons as well, from saving shelf space to asthetics. I started designing covers to replace my lackluster Star Trek (The Original Series) DVDs. The original art featured ugly colors and a boring head shot. When they ran out of regular cast members they started plastering some of the guest stars on the covers! Star Trek was also released in 40 separate volumes and took up a large amount of shelf space. Using eight 5 disc cases with my new cover art on them, I was able to cut down the amount of room the discs took up and ended up with a more attractive presentation. From there I moved on to several other TV series and have also completed some movie sets for "James Bond" and "The Lord of the Rings" among others. I have also dabbled in web graphics and design. I have built this site as well as a few others. I've had a series of ads placed in national Home Theater Magazines. While my interests lie more with visuals than the technical side, I would welcome any challenge from a small company or organization. From designing ads, logos and banners to creating your own custom DVD cover projects, I would be glad to work with you to create a product we both can be proud of.
