Introduction to Digital Imaging

For the Digital Imaging Software module we are required to create a DVD package for a film or a video game. The final work to submit consists of:

• A DVD case wrap for an Amaray style case which is to be created in Photoshop. We will be expected to demonstrate at minimum that we can set up a Photoshop file with correct size, DPI, use selection tools, filters, layers, layer transparency, levels, guides, and apply effects to photos.

• A DVD on-disc label including a logo. This will be created in Illustrator. We are to demonstrate, at minimum, use in Illustrator of the pen tool, type tool, placing images, brushes, clipping masks, guides, layers, transparencies, text wrap.

• A short promotional trailer for our finished package. This is to be edited in Premiere, including previously created elements from Photoshop or Illustrator we may chose to import. We will be expected to demonstrate, at minimum, import images and video, setting up a Premiere project with the right frame size and frame rate (and widescreen), trimming clips, adding transitions to clips, and adding titles over clips. This will be submitted as a Quicktime movie file encoded with the DV codec.
