After re-evaluating our previous draft DVD covers, we came to the conclusion that simplicity was the best option. We took a picture that we felt had relevance to the music video. This picture was of an eye, however on Abode Photoshop we edited the pupil so it appeared red. The purpose of this was to show that the eye had been intoxicated due to substances, such as alcohol and drugs. The main narrative in our music video was the effect of these intoxicants on a teenage protagonist; therefore we felt the audience could make connotations that this 'eye' was that of the protagonists' featured in the music video.
The image on the reverse of the DVD cover consisted of shot glasses with an alocoholic substance in, we maximised the image so that it fitted as the background image, with the text over the top. The text concluded of the title of the song and band on the front cover in a text that stood out and could be associated with the band. The tracklisting was included on the reverse of the DVD cover, along with reviews of the music video, by magazines that we personally made up to give it authenticity that it was a real DVD cover, we also included a bar code to help with the authenticity.
On the spine of the cover we included the title of the Song just so that on shop shelves the title would stand out, in the same text as the band name and the main title on the front cover, so there was continuity with fonts on the DVD cover.
