(Click image to view full resolution)This DVD cover has been based aroung the photographic style of creating covers. A full side photo has been placed on the front cover, from the artist's side looking over to what looks to be a crowd during a live performance. The cover has been given a grain effect, to make it look like an old legend of the music genre, as giving the grain effect creates a sense of history, ans including a person in the grain effect makes them to be some historical figure, with the use of lighting to support this, as it is shining onto him.
Alot of text has been used in this cover, possibly because it is a DVD of the artist's live performance, so it will have a long description and a long list of additional artists who played with him.
Additional photos have been used on the back to show a sneak peek of some of the artists who joined Jay-Z in the live performance. They are placed on the back rather than the front due to them being less important, as it is Jay-Z's DVD in which he will be gaining the profits from, rather than the additional artists. Below is a short deconstruction of the DVD cover. Unfortunately I was unable to find the spine image for this DVD cover, so a plain white one has been used to replace it.
(Click image to view full resolution)The DVD cover here is really quite simple in terms of it's layout. A large photo is placed on the front cover to publicise the artist, with text in smallprint either side of him to show the extras in the video. The artist's name is placed at the top in large text, this shows that it's all about him. On the back it is mainly text, showing all of the companies involved, and the description of the video. Additional photos have been placed on the back to give you an insight as to what will be shown during the video.
