Research for DVD disk and logo

   As the second part of the assignment involves creating a DVD logo / disk cover, I have researched what the standard size should be in order to set up a template to work from.
 
   I have now set up a template for the DVD logo / disk cover in Illustrator. I have taken the specifications for my template from the following:

  I have looked at various DVD disks to find out what I will need to include on mine. Although each film has a different disk, there are some things that commonly appear on all of them. I have made the following list so I can use this as a guide when creating my own. 

Things that I have found that need to be included on a DVD disk:

- Title
- Rating
- DVD Logo 
- Company Logo
- Picture or image relevant to film
- Copy Protect Logo
- Dolby Digital Logo. 
- Disclaimer

   As my research has shown that the things listed above are to be included on a DVD disk, I will include them all in my own design. 

   Things that I want to include on the DVD logo / disk cover are: 

- Hearts, 
- Pink/red background
- Bruce Willis 
- Own company logo, possibly JD Studios.
