Designing a CD or DVD cover, tray card, and DVD cover label could be a high priority business undertaking or it could be a personal project to commemorate a special event.
Whatever design is chosen, placing it on the DVD cover label is optional. The DVD cover label is the information that you add directly to the DVD disk. Placing a label or image directly on the disk makes it possible to quickly search through your DVD collection. The label could include a personal touch or stock images.
For a performer who wants to sell CDs or DVDs, the cover design is so crucial, it’s advisable to hire a graphic designer, if at all possible. The fact is, most people are visually oriented. Many will make a decision about what to buy based almost solely on appearances.
Creating CD and DVD covers for personal use is fun and not subject to the pressure a professional has with creating a design that will add to sales.
Some ideas for creating personal labels include:
- A box of DVDs that contain all the photographs and videos from family vacations.
- A cover for a CD that contains a favorite music collection.
- A cover for a CD or DVD that’s created as a special gift.
- Put together wedding moments and memories on a disk and create a special cover.
- Create a disk for distributing to all the guests at a wedding.
The disks can be created at a local discount printing or wholesale print company.
