“The Giver” Main DVD Menu by Lelia Thomas
Details
One of my assignments this semester was to design a DVD menu for either a movie (thus creating a different design from the one in use today), game or book. I chose to make a design for “The Giver,” which was one of my favorite novels as a young adult. I struggled a lot with this design, because the book has so many themes and important symbols, that it was difficult to choose which ones to put emphasis on.
I chose a rather unsaturated color scheme, as the book features a mostly black and white world, where people can no longer see color. I found black and white to be too harsh for a menu, really, so I opted for the unsaturated look. Only two vibrant colors are used on the menus (of which there are three: a main one, as seen above; audio options; and scene selections), blue and red-orange, two colors which are mentioned often in the book.
Considering this is the first DVD menu I’ve created, I’m satisfied with the overall appearance of it.
