To create a completely custom DVD case that is entirely unique to you. You may use a TV show or movie but you may not use any form of cartoon or anime. Real people must be in this film.
Choose your favorite
Decide on a movie or TV show that you would like to design for, this should be something that you are very familiar with and have an honest interest in. You can utilize any pictures from the movie and can take screen shots from the movie if you would like to.
This case should look nothing like the original and should be your own concept.
Requirements
