Get a chance for Jermaine Oneal to see your graphics work! 

Post#1 » by BirdmanPresents » Thu Aug 6, 2009 1:55 am

So most of you know I recently made my Jermaine Oneal the Rebirth mix. I sent it to Jermaine on Twitter and he actually replied saying that he loved it! Later he also replied saying he wants to get an address to me so I can send him a DVD of it! :D

So I was wondering if anybody could design a DVD cover that I could slip into a DVD case so it looks nice when I send it to him. Ive been talking with his publicist and hes given me an address and FedEx number.

*All credit will go to you including your name on the cover! I will also include your email and tell Jermaine to give you any feedback regarding the graphics.

So here is basically what I want:

1. You need to work with a proper template so it fits in the DVD case. something like these:

http://www.neato.com/TemplatesCDDVDInserts.aspx
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php? ... 1134503738
http://duplication.mimeo.com/action/DownloadsView

(Or use whatever sources you have)

It needs to have a front and back on 1 sheet.

2. You need to include:
-The tittle (Jermaine O`Neal - The Rebirth)
- My name (BirdmanPresentsâ„¢)
- My REAL name at the bottom somewhere along with yours (Matt Berdan)

3. The front:

The style I want is something that reflects the mix, and shows his hardships, maybe something epic. Some movie inspiration ones are:

http://www.impawards.com/2004/posters/man_on_fire.jpg
http://www.collider.com/uploads/imageGa ... -sheet.jpg
http://www.tutzor.com/tutorials/war-pos ... _large.jpg
http://blog.newsok.com/nerdage/files/20 ... poster.jpg

Just some ideas. Try to make it look like an epic movie poster, you can make it look like an actual movie with the actors (players) names and such.

4. The back:

Have a little description of the mix either what I wrote or do something more in depth:

"Following Jermaine Oneal's campaign with the Raptors and the Miami Heat in his comeback year of 2008-2009. The rebirth reflects upon his injuries and hardships with the pacers. As he progresses through the season we see many flashbacks of his glory days and injury days in Indiana."

Style should follow on from the front.

5. Be yourself and bring what you have to the table:

Be creative and do something cool, you have alot of freedom here. Like I said ill include all your information and you may even get a surprise from JO (No promises though at the least he will see your work).

Here are a few posters people have made for me and others:

http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak- ... 9_9641.jpg
http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/2539/fulrcopy2.jpg

*Differance is these are only posters I need the whole case with proper dimensions.


If you want to give this a try let me know here or send me an email at:

BirdmanPresents@gmail.com

I plan to mail this out tomorrow morning so if someone could do something in a few hours it would be great! :D

Hey congrats! I've never been good at any sort of design work but some guy named "Shoon" seems to be the multimedia god around here so maybe you should find a way to message him if he actually exists.

I'm inept at these sort of things, but I would just like to say good job on getting the right attention for your mix. It was well done and I hope the final product is a hit.

I'll see if I can come up with something and see if it meets your expectations... not sure when you'll need this by though.

Great mix by the way!
