DVD Covers Page

In addition to videotaping and editing projects with Susan Peel Video Productions, I finish the product by designing the cover for the DVD container and the face for the DVD disk. Most of my work has been for Middle Eastern dancers, which is reflected in the examples displayed below. I have chosen examples from the following events:

Oasis Dance Camp

Oasis Dance Camp DVD Cover

I have been the staff videographer at Oasis Dance Camp since 1993. The Camp DVD contains the choreographies that the campers learn, the show that the teachers and campers perform at, and any other interesting things that happen at camp. It usually goes to two disks.

If possible, I will use a graphic from the Camp in my DVD cover, and sometimes the DVD face.

Promotional DVDs

Harpnotic Promotional DVD Case

Susan Peel Video Productions can edit your video clips to highlight your best work, and this can then be used as a promotional tool. This promotional DVD was made for the Celtic folk band, Harpnotic.

The DVD case in this instance is made to fit a CD case, instead of a full-sized DVD case.

CD Cover Art

Harpnotic CD Front Inset

I recently used my graphic arts skills to design the artwork for the new CD by Harpnotic, a Celtic folk band, using photographs that I took at Hollyrood Abbey in Edinburough, Scotland.

Vacation DVDs

Alaska Vacation DVD Cover

Although this is a personal DVD of my cruise in Alaska, I made copies of the DVD for my friends who were also on the cruise. The image on the cover is a photograph I took from my balcony on our way to College Fjords.

This is also an option available to anyone who may want to hire me to put their memories on DVD for the future.

West MI School of Middle Eastern Dance Concerts

Cairo By Night Concert DVD Cover

Joette Sawall and the West Michigan School of Middle Eastern Dance sponsor workshops and concerts every year that feature many of the finest Middle Eastern Dancers in the Mid-West.

The most recent concert and workshop featured Egyptian dancer, Mohanned El Hosseny.

Vagabond Variety Show

Vagabond Vardo Show DVD Cover
Because the Vagabond Variety Shows have a wide variety of ecclectic talent performing, I usually use a crazy background and then add images of performers from the show, either grabbed as frames directly from the video or as photos that people have taken from the show. If there are special stars, in this case the Mezmer Society, I will sometimes use publicity photos that I get from the show's sponsor, The Lunatic Vagabonds.
