Setting up the DVD case.

[jkortje]

Okay, I am trying to make a film case. But most film cases, on the back where it tells who directed the film, the actors in the film (the picture below), how do I make that type of style of credits for my case. That is the main way of making the case credits is the way the image below shows it. How can I make that for my case?

What do you mean how can you make it? You just type it out like that, and use a font like that, if you like it.

What you are refering to is commonly known as the billing block. The major production companies keep their fonts a safely guarded secret. However, the ingenuity of the online users has led to the development and sharing of fonts that replicate quite closely the style of billing block on a professional DVD. I would recommend you use this font "SF Movie Poster Condensed". You will have to toy with the font sizes in your photoshop/illustrator/etc file to replicate the large upper case names and the lower case job titles, i.e. "Produced By JOHN DOE".

Be sure to use a vector based program (like Illustrator) for fonts otherwise those small fonts will pixilate.

That's good advice.

Exactly! You're using Photoshop?

You pick the font you like. You type out: PRODUCED and
BY in a large size - say 40pt, place the "BY" under the
"PRODUCED". Then type out KIM JACKSON. Reduce the
size of "PRODUCED BY" and place it next to "KIM JACKSON"
