Montage design for music DVDs
November 15, 2007 – 2:30 pmI have been working on some CD and DVD packaging for a music creation software company. I love doing stuff to do with music and here I was asked to create some montages to express different musical genres.
The montages will eventually go on large sierra boxes (a sierra box is a large cardboard box for software containing a DVD case and other printed material), DVD cases and the DVDs themselves as well as other promotional material.
Dance music montage
The dance montage was to capture a dance, house, deep house, tech house vibe.
World music montage
This montage was for world, dub, latin, reggae and ethnic.
Rock music montage
And this was for alternative, grunge, rock and pop. What do you think?
I’ll give it a try now.

Wow! These are very nice montages, Rob. I wish I were like you!

Thank you, Gabriel. But this is easy to do. It’s just a question of playing around with blend modes in the Layers palette in Photoshop, simple gradient masks and colouring. I’ll be doing more tutorials about montages soon.

That is extremely cool. I work at a cd/dvd duplication/packagin company in Chicago. I look forward to your tutorials about montage. Your color schemes are simply amazing. Keep up the good work. I will keep you in mind.

Thank you, Michael, I do a lot of CD/DVD packaging for music/computer games companies and I always enjoy it.
