UPDATE - 02/02/10

Both the DVD cover & disc art are just about complete. I may still tweak them, but basically here are the final designs. Since this is more of a nostalgia project, which is unlikely to have mass appeal beyond the people who already know what this is, I've not gone overboard with technical info or DVD symbols, leaning more towards trying to replicate the look & feel of the original VHS cover.

The next & final piece of this project to start designing the DVD menus in GIMP, then assemble the final DVD using DVD-Flick. The menu design should be quite simple to put together as it will be made using many of the existing graphical elements from the cover & disc art.

One last point, I'm having trouble locating someone who can supply a cover scan of the Channel 5 Dick Spanner VHS release of 'The Case Of The Maltese Parrot'. It would seem this tape is far rarer than 'The Case Of The Human Cannon-Ball' (there are five Cannon-Ball tapes currently on Ebay, but no Maltese Parrot tapes). Hopefully I can locate one before completing this project as I really would like to include it in the disc's DVD-ROM folder.
