Cover art - Digitiser
Digitiser was a YouTube gaming show by Paul Rose (Mr Biffo) and friends, resurrecting the spirit of his Teletext video game pages of the same name from back in the day. I was commissioned to create a cover design for the DVD release of the show, which was a reward for all backers of the kickstarter which supported the show. The art was also to be used for posters and banners.
Finished cover artwork.
I came up with a few different layout ideas for the cover, and we settled on design #5 as the preferred one.
There was a lot of drawing involved in this cover. Capturing the likenesses of the five presenters was a challenge, but then I also wanted to include some of the vast cast of secondary characters from the show in the background.
Once pencilled, I inked the foreground and background sections separately.
Foreground and background were coloured separately as well. Presenters were coloured in natural colours, before adding tinting at the final stage.
The finished DVDs, ready for distribution to backers! Logo added by the client.
