below is the copy for the DVD and credits. the credits should be smaller font(less conspicuous) at bottom Sealed off to the world forever in 2010, Colorado’s Mary Murphy Mine was in operation from 1870-1982. This is the last remaining chance to explore some of the extensive tunnels and to experience the treacherous path to gold discovery. Featuring commentary from real hard rock miners, the Mary Murphy Mine DVD takes a look at the underground world and the dangers of abandoned mines.

It would look better without the watermark on the photo, but, you get the idea. I am considering putting photos on the back of the mine two or three, next to the man in the playing the instrument....tall, three stacked on top of each other...but I did not want it to be too busy. I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Fran

Thanks for your feedback!... I've made the changes you've requested...added "barn wood" image to background, added nails to the poster (nice touch!) and included the band on back cover. (Didn't see the name of the band on the design brief???) The images and text can be changed to whatever you're needing it to portray...also added a spine to the cover...

I removed the images off of the back cover, and changed the name to St.Elmo.

i think we should remove the two colored pictures on the back(band & boiler). and on the front change the town name from Romley to St. Elmo (this is a renouned ghost town near by)

Regarding entry #10

Change the photo of the mine structure from black and white to sepia tone (with creme border, not white) and make it much larger (it is the most interesting thing on the back cover). 3. Make the border of the band photo smaller. Posssibly make the photo smaller as well - the DVD is about the mine, not sure the band photo will be used 4. I am unclear what the dark smudge is in the upper left corner of the backside with the pen. But - perhaps it could be something more closely related to mining or prospecting You've probably seen photos or drawings of old prospectors in baggy clothes, floppy hat and carrying a miner's pick. It might be that one of them would jazz up the front, perhaps even in place of the mine dump scenic on the right of the front cover.

you mentioned that the images you used were stock photos? can you look at the photos attached to the MMM entry and see if you can use any of them. if there is not an issue with the stock photos you could use them.

Thanks for the feedback. I will make sure to color the image of the band to match cover. Let me know of anything you need int the copy added or taken away. I will design back cover as soon as i see the band image.

Regarding entry #7

i will see if prova can post the band photo i like best for possible back cover . I think, though, that it would look better rendered in Sepia tone to make it look older and to minimize the yellow and orange of the base player.

I like the photos on the backside of this one (mine buildings, head frame, survey marker) much more

much better feed back. the text phrases. "Narrated by the men who have been there" is especially great

MMMLC

Apr 18, 9:03pm

Regarding entry #4

Perhaps change "Ho for the Yellow Stone" to "Westward Ho for the Yellow Stone" Change "Narrated by Renown Colorado Miner" to "Narrated by the men who have been there". 4. On the back side (left side), change "Gold Mines of Colorado" to "Famous Colorado Gold Mine." 5. Perhaps have tacks or small nails in the corners of the paper like it is tacked up. 6. If wanted, you could have a darker wood grain behind the edges of the paper as if it is on a wooden wall

Okay, I changed the miner and the title. I changed the text on the back, but that really is just a place-holder. It can say whatever you want it to say. Entry 8 emphasizes the documentary aspect. Entry 9 plays more to the local imagery. However, those local images are just off someone's website, they are not copyright free. I would need some authorized images.

Regarding entry #5

Consider dressing and equiping the guy with the headlamp in long pants, miner's gear belt and otherwise making him look like a miner, not a hiker who has snuck into the mine without permission. Still, as a hiker, that heightens the feeling of adventure. 2. Consider adding a town name or mountain name to narrow the location a bit. "Mary Murphy Mine, Romley, Colorado" or something. 3. Consider adding the word prolific ... "The prolific Mary Murphy Mine (over one hundred years old) ..." 4. Consider changing the phrase (over one hundred years old) to something like (in operation from 1885-1982). OR (in operation for 8 decades

Definitely the copy can be what ever you choose it to be, overall concept is for it to look like late 1800's newspaper article.... photographs can be placed in and around text and can be colorized to have that old yellowish sepia tone to them. Just pulled photo off web...any other can be substituted. Let me know and I can incorporate those photos you choose so you can see what it looks like Thanks!

i like the shadow of miner/explorer standing in the mine tunnel. i would like to change some of the other icon items on the cover to be a little more unique hope people don't get the impression that they can go and explore the actual mine ..

i think the old miner is good but have some feedback that he is too scary and maybe not the best thing to catch your interest

MMMLC

Apr 16, 6:48pm

Regarding entry #4

i'm leaning towards this entry the most so far. the newspaper idea is an eye catcher . some of the copy would need to be changed. and we might want to incorporate a picture of the band on the back . not sure if it will distract from the overall look. and the front picture is good but i am open to other ideas.

looking at the entry I understand the left boarder would be the edge or end of the DVD? if so wording should be in gold or brighter color to stand out. On the front - I like the font for the word "Mine" stands out nicely. i like the idea of the oldtimer "ghost image" and the background is the old tram building. I would like to add the word Gold the the front cover somewhere and maybe change the font for "Mary Murphy" to a more virtical script or a bold circus type script

Could you post those photos? It would probably be best to stay away from other peoples photos that have been posted on the internet.

I have so many pictures not sure whether to use a historic old or current picture. you can google: Mary Murphy Mine and get an idea of the area and history there. Sorry i do not have the exact copy for the back of dvd there is a musical group Spring Creek that is doing the background music, also have some great pictures of them in the ghost town of St. Elmo playing music. I welcome any other questions
