We have now had the lecture in which we review each others drafts of our projects so far. I think this was a valuable feedback session as I have identified areas that need improvement and retouching before the final submission.
The DVD Inlay:
The main thing that was identified during the peer to peer review was that I have used an incorrect DPI for my project. It should be 300 pixels/per inch, however mine is set to 72 pixels per inch. This was unfortunately an oversight when I set up the file. I have attempted to resolve this issue by simply increasing the DPI of the document however, this makes the size of the document incorrect. I'm not sure if there will be an easy way to adjust this now without having to restart from scratch. I will have to experiment with a few options before deciding how to deal with this situation.
Another point to note is that the picture on the front of the DVD inlay could be better in many ways. The cut around the image is not very good. For instance, there is a random patch on his head that is white, there is a blue section that should have been cut that hangs from his right arm and also I think it would look better if I added some effects to this image. I will make these changes to the front pic and update the blog with the details.
The DVD:
The main thing to note about the DVD cover is that I have used some .png images that are links and unfortunately, I have not included them in the dropbox file that I used to bring the document to class. I now know that I need to include these files when submitting my project. I will need to double check the disk that I submit to ensure that everything is included on the image and is displayed correctly.
I have yet to add in an image to the DVD cover, it was mentioned that the space on the right looks bare. I already intended to include an image in this space, I haven't yet added it in as I am still looking for one that I think fits in well. I don't like the idea of reusing one from the DVD Inlay which is why I haven't yet inserted it.
