Project Brief: The premise of this school project required each student to select a documentary film, viewable on Vimeo documentaries, watch and research the film, and analyze the best way to present the movie to consumers. Students were required to design the DVD slip case and the inserted CD. The design could not in any way resemble past design(s). The class was told to consider this DVD packaging design to be a new promotion of the documentary, as if it had not been previously created.

Project Goal: To entice documentary watchers to watch the film while conceptually convey through the design the documentaries story in a succinct, visually appealing manner.
Challenge: The biggest challenge of this project was trying to create a cover that showed both fear and curiosity at the same time. After watching and researching this complex documentary it was challenging to decide what aspects of the film should be emphasize, visually and emotionally, and how best to tell the story properly to motivate consumer to watch the film.
Solution: I found a photo I really liked and did some effects to it in photoshop, and made it into a design I was satisfied with.
