Playstation 3

I changed my idea for doing a PS2 cover to PS3 to be different. I found this challenge a little more difficult than the wii as i tried to make it look like it is the same game but tried to change the design a little. Was hoping to be able to print them off and try them out in the sleeves but my printer isnt working so will have to hope for the best in class on the due date.
I found this assignment over all pretty challenging, it wasnt as easy as i initially thought, it was great fun to do but.
below is an image of the PS3 design cover.

wii and cd soundtrack covers

I have completed the wii games cover, just to add the barcode now.



I have also been working on the Soundtrack ,just need to make minor adjustments to the back cover to make a side strip.
I have gone with a minimalist appeal and used images from the wii cover so people will be able to identify the game.


















Now i plan on working on the Playstation 3 Games cover, today putting all the legal requirements on.

Wii cover


Up until today i have come close to finishing the wii cover slip.
Luke has given me helpful advice and guided me through the main elements of a wii's cover.
From the talk i have learnt what not to do and where to improve on such as using the pen tool for my smaller images or making changes to images in illustrator instead of photoshop if possible.
Today i created the background, completed the top half of the backcover and created more of the "legal requirements". I have the title to work on now, and just a few final touch ups then i can do the PS2 game cover.
Below is my progress so far.

wii games cover

Since i blogged last, i have done most of the components for the wii cover. These include conductig a photoshoot for the characters of my game and turning selected images into slight cartoon look alikes.

I have also collected and designed parts of the cover such as the rating, the barcode, the "Wii" logo, "Nintendo" logo, and the "DVD" logo. I have done a few different designs for the name of the game to choose from.

Below are images of my screen shots for the back of the wii games cover.

Wii Cover Design

On Monday i started the assigment, by doing some research on Wii games. I created a collection of various ones and then came up with my own idea.
My idea is to have the game based on dancing and the many styles. The names i thought up of are Dance Infinity and Dance Fanatic, in which i ended up with "Dance Fanatic."
I have sketchted up the layout of the Wii cover and labelled the elements within, as well as came up with a design for the front.
Today i am going to write the blurb for the back cover to describe what the game entails. I'll also do some designs for the smaller screen shots, then begin all of this in Illustrator.
