DVD Sleeves

COMM1610′s final assignment was to create a DVD sleeve for all the assignments of that class. That was pretty much all the instructions we got and so you have “absolute” freedom to design whatever your heart desires. The tiles on the sleeve represents each assignment I did with the black tile (being the 6th assignment) incorporating everything. Again I tried to embrace white space and played with CMYK and RGB.

Program used: InDesign 5.5

I created 2 sleeves…. and personally like the “clones” (below) better but chose the design above as it follows the rules we learned in class better. I wonder how I’ll feel about this decision years from now… Although the two designs are completely different visually and even the feeling you get from them is completely different, the “clones” design came from the blocks above. The meaning in the “clones” is that school is the institution that gives you the “tools” you need to function in society. We are all produced the same and conditioned the same in every outlet available. The assignments and conditioning shapes the girl in the green (me) however, I’m not a clone. If you you look closely, the hair on the right shoulder is slightly longer than the left; to me that symbolizes imperfection as nothing is perfect… ever… as well as someone who is different. I also really like this design because it’s kind of dark and creepy

P.s. I really do like school
