Before making the DVD cover for our animation, ready to submit for competitions, I decided to check out some existing ones for other stop motion films. I originally thought that this process would be similar to designing the book covers that I did for Penguin Random House, but it wasn't similar at all! (It was harder).
I noticed that there was always at least one character on the front of the cover, and it really resembled the product as a whole, so after talking with Hayley for some advice, she suggested we use one frame of one of our characters for each side of the DVD case, and design around that.
And this is the design I came up with! Hayley advised me to use the same font as her opening and closing credits, so I stuck with that font, and tried to be very minimalistic. I also added some mouth shapes on the back because our documentary is for a family audience so I didn't want it to be too boring and plain.
