ABSTRACT

The subject of DVD authoring is the basis of entire books. This chapter will illustrate easy menu design tips that will give any DVD project more character, impact,

and distinction by using Photoshop. Digital Versatile Disc or DVD is the fastest-growing

format the planet has ever seen – including VHS and CD. It’s no surprise when you

consider the quality of the video and audio it can hold. All videophile and audiophile

interests aside, the real innovation of the DVD format lies within its interactive

potential. If you have ever rented or bought a movie on DVD, you’ve seen the menu

pages. Different titles or movies will have their own unique menu layout and inter-

face design. A well-planned and executed menu layout will have a similar feel and

tone of the content contained on the disc, (hopefully) wetting your appetite or raising

your curiosity.
