Hey its Gabby again. I just got done working on a DVD Menu for Thoughts Become Things a few days ago. Everyone thought the menus came out great and now it’s just up to the client to chose which version he likes better. When I started working on the menu Jeremy told me to just be creative and gave me a list of what needed to be on the DVD Menu like a deleted scenes section and an audio section. After that he left me alone and I got to work.
I did the design in Photoshop and just started with the main menu screen. I got ideas from the DVD Case that Jeremy had made and the Mood Board for Thoughts Become Things. The feel of the DVD is like a old travel/ worldly/ hand made concept so I had to keep it within those terms. At the end of the day Jeremy was looking at my design and saying that he liked it and he was telling me changes to make when Phil reminds Jeremy about some effect for the Menu that they were going to do. That meant that I had to make another version for the client to see and I wasn’t that happy about it because I liked my original design.
I ended up making the second version the next morning and the second version turned out better than I had expected. The client saw them that morning and couldn’t decide which one he liked better which I think is a good thing. I don’t know which version were going to use but either way the DVD Menu for Thoughts Become Things looks great. I learned that even though I didn’t want to budge and change my design that you will have to sometimes to please the client and I ended up doing just that.
