Book Description

October 1, 2005
An inspiring showcase of covers that have challenged the predictable mainstream "look" of DVDs. The follow-up to the highly successful CD Art, DVD Art looks at an international collection of innovative graphic design within the ever-growing area of DVD covers and packaging. From movie to music packaging, DVD Art explores both the creative inspiration behind the work - in terms of artwork, typography, materials, printing techniques and formats - as well as the practical considerations and restrictions such as record company stipulations, inclusion of essential material, and budgets.

The first design book to look at the creativity within this growing market, and its future potential, DVD Art will be an essential purchase for anyone with a professional or personal interest in graphic design, packaging and product design.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not so innovative, March 8, 2007
This review is from: DVD-Art: Innovation in DVD Packaging Design (Hardcover)
After a lengthy search for a design book on dvd packaging, I was excited to find this one. However when I received it, I was somewhat disappointed. While there are some very nicely designed dvd booklets/trays, there are not many truly innovative pieces.

I thought it would contain at least a few that were more in line with specialty packaging ie; movies, television etc.

If you're looking for a standard dvd packaging book for layout inspiration this one is for you. If you're looking for something more for the packaging itself look elsewhere.
