Hi, it's been a while since I've visited these forums!

I was wondering if anyone knew of a site that offered tutorials or templates for creating DVD box art?

I can handle the art/illustration aspect - I'm more concerned about the actual sizing and layout of box art. It's a pretty tall request and I haven't found anything yet but I thought I'd see if anyone here had experience or know a resource on the topic.

Thanks for any help or info you can provide. I appreciate it!

have you tried to get a ruler and messure some artwork from an original DVD box?

Dammit, that's cheating. That's against the rules.


Although you should be able to pull the cover off of the case and measure it easily enough.

I really liked with my trigun discs that a slip came with the dvd case of the cover art. was a nice touch.

I painted a cover for one of my sons cartoon videos the other day and all I did was pulled the original cover out scanned it in to PS6 then used the box selection tool(not sure if that is the correct name) to select the back , front and side.I put each selection on its own layer then painted away.When finished I collapsed the layers and made sure the size was right then printed.That is about it hope this helped a bit.

yeah, just take the measurements from a DVD box. Depending on whether the job is personal or professional ,I suggest doing your painting in cm or inches instead of pixels and do it at a higher DPI like 600 (300 minimun) or so.. It'll be huge but when it gets printed itll look great.
