Sure the opening face-plate which reveals the disc is cool, but I like the presentation of the transparent box with the special package inside. Other releases (Transformers, Hulk) have been using this trend also. I wasn't sure how I wanted to utilize a transparent box, but the possibilities seemed pretty open.
Then the special edition Valley of the Dolls caught my eye, perhaps because the slipcase reminded me of a book, maybe the brightly colored plastic just stuck out...
Either way, it looked like something I might want to incorporate. I thought the colored dvd case and the slipcase idea would lend itself well to a special edition of Mean Girls. I could use the slipcase concept as a "Burn Book" which houses the discs...
I could even put the "Burn Book" (with discs) inside a transparent plastic case, and include some extras: "Official Plastics Gear," t-shirt and/or accessories.
Finally I took out another classic, The Lord of the Rings special editions, which are packaged like books, to further get ideas about book-like dvd cases, and figure out just how elaborate this needs to be.
And just an FYI, here's the existing release of Mean Girls on DVD (with soundtrack)...
Overall, this is already shaping up to be a fun project. Can't wait to start sketching!
