The Happening Custom DVD Cover


The Happening DVD Cover
Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator CS5
13cm x 18.4cm

M. Night Shyamalan has always been my favourite movie director since 'The Sixth Sense'.
Since my prof banned students from doing Star Wars, His movies were my first choice.
I actually struggled between 'Signs' and 'The Happening',
but finally decided to go with the latter 
because of a striking scene i remembered from the movie.

i have mixed feelings about this piece,
I do think this cover is a bit too cute for the content of this movie..lol
The scene i chose to illustrate was, as i mentioned above, striking
however this cover looks somewhat peaceful....

and i wish i had used my original analog line work for the ladders and people,
sadly, i was confused with my last year's media studio class 
 i thought i wasn't allowed to use anything hand drawn.....
(i found out that we can use analog drawing for lineworks after i finished.)

I like the colour scheme
The hand drawn lettering turned out better than i thought as well.
(usually, my handwriting looks horrible)

I still i think i could have done so much better if i wasn't restricted to working digitally...
