The Illusionist - DVD Cover Redesign
2011
Photoshop

This was our final Photoshop project in 3rd term and was very time intensive. The idea was to redesign an existing DVD movie cover, and hopefully improve on it. I chose The Illusionist as it is one of my favourites from 2006. If you've seen it you'll be able to appreciate the design and symbolism I used. If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?
Everything right down to the fine print and all those tiny company logos was placed individually by me, even the barcode. All of the images except the hand, the crow and the butterfly are taken directly from the movie (screen shots). Photoshop's seemingly most powerful tool is masking, and I've made good use of it here. This is no simple image, it consists of almost 100 different layers.
